Kolek planning to go pro
Paul Chryst out
Lance Liopold’s agent soon to be the most popular man in America.
I doubt they would’ve fired him so early if the Nebraska job wasn’t vacant.
Chryst became mediocre Mike McCarthy before the Packers fired him - the game passed them by, zero desire to adapt, and no personality.
I think this is probably much more about something else other than two straight bad conference losses. I mean it's fairly common for B10 coaches to go into Columbus and get their asses handed to them--------Chryst isn't the first and he sure won't be the last. And while Illinois was an embarrassing stinker, a coach of his tenure should be allowed one of those once in a great while.You'd have to be an insider to know for sure, but my guess is that he had lost complete control over the locker room and/or the confidence of his coordinators and assistant coaches.Notwithstanding what happened at Nebraska, the mid-season timing is a little odd. And to my Badger fan friends ( the few that I have) be careful what you wish for.
Did Leipold grow up an obsessed Badger fan? Or did his 12 years in Nebraska imprint on him more. Wisco stunk when he was a kid/young adult and he was in Nebraska when they were still Nebraska. Who knows.Related, its absolutely PRICELESS that Bielema put the nail in the coffin.Couldn't say it better myself
Pretty sure T-Cubed orr Woj wood bea interested, aina?
Wisconsin had to do it. They are hooked on football as their public identity. They can't afford to be average in football. I don't blame them at all.
I was surprised only that it was done now rather than at season’s end.
Be careful what you wish for.Sincerely,Nebraska and Auburn
I think they want to give Leonhard and audition. Yep. Especially Nebraska.
Given the academic standards, perhaps Wisconsin should finally join the Ivy League and try to win there
Wouldn't Wisconsin have to lower their academic standards to go to the Ivy League? I know Harvard is the Wisconsin-Madison of the east coast but would Wisconsin want to actually associate with them?
It's not like Leonard's defenses have been trending in the right direction over the last couple years. That side of the ball has declined just as much as the offense has.
Last year they lead the country in yards per game allowed and rushing defense, and were top ten in passing defense and points allowed.
