mrflynn03 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Surely to goodness they didn't fire Chryst over his record. If that's why then Wisconsin has some unrealistic expectations. Edited October 2, 2022 by mrflynn03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 8 minutes ago, mrflynn03 said: Surely to goodness they didn't fire Chryst over his record. It's a tough business. From a Madison TV station: "Chryst joined Wisconsin from Pittsburgh before the 2015 season and lead the Badgers to seven straight bowl game appearances, winning six of them. He won the Big Ten West three times, but could never do enough to win a Big Ten Championship. The 2022 season has started roughly for Wisconsin. An upset from Washington State and two blowout losses in a row to Ohio State and Illinois have the team sitting near the bottom of the conference standings." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they have the balls to make changes. Allen is not/never has been a good/great coach. He has great enthusiasm but that does not translate to wins. Dolson screwed up big time with the contract extension and now Indiana fans have to suffer through several more losing seasons before a change is made and then we have go through another rebuild. To bluntly put it, Indiana Football sucks. Always has and always will! Edited October 3, 2022 by jefftheref 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game when AT ran for over 340 yards v the Badgers. Camp Randall was more empty than Memorial Stadium. I was at the old field house in the early 90’s when Calbert, et al ran roughshod over them. UW had a great AD and alum in Pat Richter. He made a fortuitous hire in Barry Alvarez. I know enough about BA that I don’t respect him, but he was the right guy for the job, and he has built a tree of coaches who will keep UW successful. IU needs to find their Barry Alvarez. It can be done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of fixing the issues of the Fred Glass era, they doubled down with Dolson, a company man and fundraising gladhander. They needed an experienced AD. Dolson wouldn’t have gone anywhere. He would have stayed in his old job. So, IU needs to find their Pat Richter. Chris Reynolds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually started before him, with the newly named UW-Madison chancellor Donna Shalala. She turned UW sports around. She identified and pursued Pat Richter. He said no. More than once. So Donna Shalala recruited Pat Richter's wife. Came at it from that angle. Talked about his legacy, how important change would mean to the university. She would not take "no" for an answer. Pat Richter finally said yes, and things started rolling. She was determined to make UW sports great. Because it was financially smart to do so. That's what I haven't seen Indiana do. Set winning as a priority by the people at the top, and having a plan to make it happen. Be willing to make the investments required. She may have gotten lucky in the eventual hires for both football and basketball. It's not science, or everyone would do it. But she made her own luck. She was a master politician. Later work included a cabinet position for the United States, President at the University of Miami, and being elected to the US House of Representatives. She knew how to get things done behind the scenes. So yeah, the entire BigTen got their football and basketball butts kicked for a generation by a 4'11" woman. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I’m legitimately surprised by this and these days it’s hard to be surprised by anything. Jim Leonhard has long been touted as an up and coming coach so let’s see if he lights a spark there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Doesn't matter what anyone does, nobody is beating Ohio State or occasionally Michigan for a B1G championship in football anytime soon. We've seen what happens first hand with high expectations. It would be wise for UW to be content with what they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 My Sconny buddies are all saying this is more about not losing Leonhard vs keeping Chryst. I don't know. When covid hit Barry was crying poverty and now they pay a guy $17M to leave after a month? Guess losing at home to your former coach (who is in year 2 of a rebuild) by 24 was the final nail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I would love nothing more than to see UW sports and their obnoxious fanbase reside in the dumpster of the B1G. But they've lost to WSU, Ohio State, and Illinois who are a combined 13-2. This might the most perplexing firing I've ever seen. It just seems totally undeserved. Although I'm sure Chryst will have a soft landing somewhere soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those 64 years, Ohio State or Michigan have either won or tied for the conference championship 47 times... Big 2 and little 8 was what they called it back in the day... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
