I'm genuinely surprised by this move. Yes, they're not good. Two back-to-back bad losses. But, excluding the Covid year, Chryst won 10, 11, 13, 8, 10 and 9 games before this year. Wisconsin is usually satisfied with riding some measure of mediocrity before having a bounce back year or two.
Maybe Wisconsin will now be torched in the future for getting rid of formerly 9 wins or better coaches. They can sit on the throne occupied by Nebraska for what seems like ages.
