Your comments show you're very uneducated on the current state of the Badger football program. Not that I'd expect you to be an expert, but Chryst has been extremely slow to change to the current landscape of college football. He was forced to make big changes to his offensive coaching staff last year and it seems that you can change everything around the head ball coach but if he's unwilling to change, there's little chance for success. Most Wisconsin fans seem to like Paul and had little animosity towards him. They just seen the writing on the wall and with a top 3-5 coaching candidate already on staff, it was time to make a change. I also believe as more comes out, you'll hear it wasnt a straight firing. Paul still wants what is best for UW, Madison, and Wisconsin. The buyout being less is a good clue of that. And LOL to the Braelon Allen tweet. Was he going to say "great! Now I'll help us get more than 2 yards rushing!"?

33-19 and 21-14. Chryst’s numbers since 2018 season. Pretty impressive at Wisconsin.
So you think they’re going to hire somebody worse than Chryst? I hope you’re right, but I’m doubting it. What Chryst did 5, 6 and 7 years ago is irrelevant to what he’s done the last 4.5 years. If they get Leipold they’ve made an upgrade. Dave Doreen upgrade as well. Jim Leonard probably an upgrade.
Hookstead simply says things for clicks. Don't feed the trolls.
It's called Gopher Hog Day.
Note to PJ: Start getting beefcakes OLs from the state of Wisconsin.
Isn't he a devout Mormon too? A drinking school certainly does not go well.
And Bret Bielema?
I think Bielema left for a bigger paycheck and also to have more money for assistants.
Debating 101. Take a series of objective metrics. Then arbitrarily set a time horizon that is favorable to the point you want to make. Once you have done that, find a reason to not count any seasons that contradict your underlying point. Finally, declare yourself a genius because the arbitrary subset of your arbitrary time horizon says exactly what you wanted it to.
I still am not happy that he stole Frank Ragnow away from the Gophers at the last minute.
Ok, let’s just look at after the Rose Bowl loss? Coaches get fired for their recent performance. You’re looking at what he did 5 plus years ago and ignoring that he’s been the worst coach at Wisconsin in the last 30 years over these past 4 and a half seasons. But for some reason you want to ignore that. Why? I don’t know.
That's pretty normal, isn't it? Of his many strikes, Brewster going 0 for a lot in trophy games hurt. If we are consistently losing to Wisconsin and Iowa, that would be a significant knock against a coach with an otherwise solid record. Conversely, if a coach were struggling, I would consider it in litigation if, despite the struggles we consistently beat those two. Rivalry games matter.
The proof will be in who the Badgers eventually hire, not who they fired. See Mason Firing > Brewster Hiring.
