Paul Chryst fired by Wisconsin
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
So Frost, Chryst and Dorrell all have gotten fired..... good thing they had all that prior head coaching experience going for them !
Never know whats happening on the inside & maybe Wisky feared losing Leonard who im guessing they saw as their head coach in waiting more than they appreciated Chyrst who has been just as successful as Alvarez.
You have to wonder if with the changing landscape of big ten finances if they aren't going to go big game hunting in big 12, PAC 12, and acc...
Firing people now let's them get the ball moving behind the scenes to move fast when seasons end.
Yes, having no head coaching is much preferred. I mean Gerry Faust, Bob Davie and Charlie Weis knocked it out the park at ND did they not?
Making my point, if you can coach... you can coach. Regardless of experience
How did a guy named Knute Rockne do at Notre Dame??
How's the top 5 looking this year?
Kirby first job
Dabo first job
Day first job
Not too shabby
Are you saying Marcus Freeman is good like that? What gives you that intel? Was it the great performance against Marshall? Don’t confuse likable with good. Our entire nation has an issue with that.
Your point is they win they win is correct, so find the guy that wins. How many weeks are you going absent from the board this time if BYU spanks us?
The Marshall game is an out of character experience that can't be explained - perhaps even by those on the inside. It is too early to make any decisions about Marcus Freeman. I am going to Las Vegas and I truly expect that it will be worthwhile.
Unfortunately I had a family issue but thanks for your concern.
I'm not saying MF is that guy. I think he will be but we shall see
Point is, if you can coach, you can coach. Regardless of experience.
See the top 5 and the 3 guys who just got fired. All that experience really helped them didnt it???
Bk had prior hc exp and he lost to Navuly, USF, and Tulsa
All dumpster programs. Comparing CU to ND? Well you did compare MJ to LeBrick haha.
Surprising. He's done well there, other than the shortened 2020 season and so far this year.
These programs are getting very trigger happy with firing coaches. But I think some of these administrators and boosters may forget that the overall average record is .500. It has to be. And yet when somebody fails to win 10 consistently, they get fired.
And Chryst had 4 10-win seasons, including winning the Cotton and Orange Bowls. He also went 6-1 in bowls. Tough crowd there at Wisconsin.

What?? What do you mean it can't be explained? Yeah, it most certainly can be explained. The offense was complete shit, visibly so, and we didn't score and move the ball enough to win the game. The OL was particularly ineffective, and over the course of a sixty minute game, you could end up losing even to a nothing opponent, if you simply cannot get first downs or score enough points.
And that's what happened. I just explained it. It's not some sort of mystical experience that defied the laws of reality. In fact, not only did I just explain it, IT'S ALL EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT in the entire CFB universe, how bad ND looks and how terrible their offense is, just like it was shitty against tOSU. Meaning it was two games in a row when the offense was really bad and ineffective, and throw in the Cal game, certainly the first half was just as futile. And all normal, sober cool heads and observers noticed it and commented on it appropriately.
So do you understand now? Is there some reason you feel compelled to characterize the Marshall loss as some kind of impenetrable mystery? Or were you just being facetious?
I'm definitely going to guess it's because they don't want to lose old boy. It's not the greatest look for Wisky, because PC was winning there, and presumably might/would have continued, even if they're off to a shitty start this year.
But if they think Leonard is the wave of the future, as well as being someone who well understands the Wisky way which would be something they value, and you're worried you might lose him, then go for it. It's not as if PC was treated shabbily. He's had a good run.

Auburn coach will be next, another experienced head coach. Nebraska is a blue blood program and Wisconsin was not a dumpster fire at all. Auburn has won a NC more recently than us. Wrong again
Why wouldnt I compare the 2 greatest players to ever live? 2 of the top 5 at worst. Pretty common comp

Wisconsin by firing Chryst who was 67-26 now removed the curse from Nebraska for firing Bo Pelini who went 67-27.
It was shocking that he gets fired the day after getting humiliated by a former Wisconsin coach. I do think it was a move to save their DC from leaving for other jobs more than wanting to go after Lance Leopold. LL is going to be a rich man either by a Kansas extension or some other school breaking the bank for him.

Has experience helped the greatest of all time, Nick Saban? Oh yea, Michigan St has 10 Nattys
Early signing day. Need to have the new coach in place before that.
Alvarez had down stretches at Wisky after going 10-1-1 he had 4 season were Wisky finished 8-4 or worse
He had a great 3 year stretch where Wisky won 2 Rose Bowls then had an 8 year stretch where his highest ranking was 13 but 4 of the years they finished unranked.
Chyrst won a Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl and his record was better than Alvarez but ok
I think Nick Saban was turning around msu and then took a better job and won a NC at LSU. He was a great coach before Alabama.
I named at least 15 coaches who didn't need experience.
Dabo and Kirby beat Nick for NCs and had no experience.... so what
Knute didn't have HC experience and he's one of the GOATs
Head coaching experience is nice but in no means does it determine success or failure. If you can coach, you can coach
I’ll listen to someone like Coach Ara about head coaching experience before I listen to anyone else. I’ve seen Faust, Davie and Weis fail miserably at ND.
West no chance, come on
Dr J he was the first high flyer, all respect, couldn't really dribble with his left hand well,couldnt pass like lebron, no
Bird, love him, I'm a celtic fan, not nearly the athlete of Lebron or defender, nor durable, no. But he's in my next tier. Def above dr and west
Kobe, lebron was better, better passer, better team player, more efficient.
Wilt, played in an era where there were only 8 teams and he towered over everyone. Only won 2 titles.
Mj Lebron Magic Kareem Russell is the first 5
You missed on Shaq Duncan Olajuwon and Oscar who were better than some you had mentioned
I'll just go by the facts
Knute Rockne was better than Ara and he was a first year guy
And the multitude of other elite head coaches across the country. Some of the greatest ever
I always love how people use the not nearly the athlete comment for Bird. Gee why is he not nearly the athlete? Kinda like people who were wondering if Will Shipley was really a good running back right? Yet the dude (Bird) would come out and say I'm going to score 40 tonight" right tp the opposing team. And then score 40.
Totally. That does sort of give them political cover to do it. You can't be getting hammered by Bret Bielema like that. I don't know if there's bad blood or not between him and Wisky, but that sure gives them an excuse...
Bird was amazing. I'm a celtic fan. Great shooter, one of the best ever. Great passer, one of the best ever for his position. Great leader. Great winner. All time all time elite player. Top 10 ever to me
When we are nitpicking though to conpare and debate top ever players, that is an area he is lacking
Lebron was faster, stronger, quicker, way higher vertical jumping. That is being an athlete. That is what I'm talking about. No one would ever say that Bird was anywhere near the athlete of Lebron. Come on. Just like Lebron was never the shooter that Bird was. Some things are beyond obvious to see.... come on. Lebron is one of the best athletes to ever play
