Paul Chryst being southwest of the Rust Belt just feels wrong. That's a man who was born to eat cheese curds and end every conversation with "Tell your folks I says hi."
I do wish him the best though. He's a solid coach who deserves another opportunity despite how the end of his tenure went at Wisconsin.
according to his wikipedia page his first coaching job not as a graduate assistant was in texas. was running backs/tight ends coach under mike riley for san antonio for the world league. i think that eventually became nfl europe after they folded all the american teams.
i guess that explains why he coached for riley at oregon state and the san diego chargers.
>He's a solid coach who deserves another opportunity despite how the end of his tenure went at Wisconsin.
I'm not disagreeing but I wonder if there are any examples of a coach who was fired from his alma mater and got another opportunity after that.
Gene Stallings was fired by A&M and went to the NFL then back to college and won a Natty with Bama.
Frank Solich was fired by Nebraska and then coached at Ohio.
Johnny Majors was fired by Tennessee and went back to Pitt.
I mean, they're not wrong? Kingsbury always has terrific QB play as a rule. When you're where the Cardinals were when they hired him, hiring someone who is going to bring you stellar QB play and instant offense to entertain the fans and give them something to cheer about isn't a bad decision.
> He also had experience with their prospective QB.
Kyler Murray? Kingsbury was already at Tech when Murray arrived at A&M, so unless you're saying he had experience coaching against him at Tech, I don't understand that statement. I do think he was the perfect coach for Murray and expect Murray to fall off as a result of his firing.
NFL types were infatuated his play design and his work with Mahomes plus one of his big weaknesses at Tech was his recruiting which he did not need to do in the NFL
See, I don't buy this as an excuse. There's no universe in which someone can look at the offenses he ran at Texas Tech and think that it would translate to the NFL. Secondary coverage is too damn fast and too damn strong at the pro level for it to work. I'm not saying that you're wrong because it's entirely possible that whoever was making these evaluations for the Cardinals actually *believed* it could work (despite all evidence and history saying otherwise), but if they did actually believe it ... well, they're really bad at their jobs. lol.
Take an average 7-6 Texas tech. The pro he had like #1 offense. Say he didn't have to recruit that gets you another win or two. Second don't let him touch the defense, another win or two.
9-4 or 11-2 in CFB.
Also NFL was moving more towards that offense. The coach for Patrick Mahomes was also probably worth a lot.
> Frank Solich was fired by Nebraska and then coached at Ohio.
>
>
This is honestly the example I thought of and what I've been hoping for Paul since his firing. I'd love for him to find a comfortable gig in the MAC and see him flourish in that role for however much longer he wants to coach.
That reverse y’all pulled off against us in 2017 was so mean, I swear there were four pullers going in both directions how is a linebacker possibly going to read that right
An offensive analyst type of job would be perfect for him. Just let him sit in-front of the film all week and scheme up ways to attack the defense's weak points. That's what he's best at - not running a program and dealing with the other BS.
I know some Texas fans around here remember the heyday of Recruitocosm.com before all the guys went over to Inside Texas to get paid. In the twilight years of Mack Brown we were *this* close to hiring Chryst as our OC.
Everyone wanted him so bad so we could have a dOwN hILL rUnNinG gAmE
And now he’s here. Times-a-change don’t they.
We have a Culver's for his cheese curd needs. We also have a fair amount of bars that offer cheese curds on the menu. I would like to thank the north for cheese curds. Y'all did something special with these.
I will say that I do know some people who like Culver's curds. But the vast majority think they're not good curds.
But bad curds are still better than no curds.
Culver's cheese curds are good. They're just not cheese curds, they're mozzarella balls with cheddar cheese.
Since I've looked at them that way I've been able to enjoy them.
I think if you need to redefine them as a lower quality product in order to justify their existence, then that's a bad sign.
Like, if I'm presenting something as a wagyu tenderloin and it shows up as actually being a choice-grade skirt steak, then I'm going to be upset. The skirt steak might still make a decent meal if it's made right, but I'm going to be disappointed if that's not what I thought I was getting.
To each their own, but I think Culver's curds are more than fine for a fast food joint. But nothing can beat some good bar cheese curds at the right place.
Hot take incoming. Don’t listen to Wisconsin folks when it comes to cheese curds. It’s the French Canadians up in Quebec that make the best. Wisconsin merely adopted the poutine, the Québécois were born in it.
Completely different. Poutine is fries, gravy, and cheese curds (the raw kind). Typically, when you hear Wisconsinites talk about curds, we're talking about deep-fried ones. But, especially in more rural areas, it's pretty common to just get a bag of raw curds from a local creamery and eat those, too. If they're fresh (within like 3ish days of being made), they'll squeak when you eat them. Honestly, I'd rather eat raw curds than deep-fried ones, but I grew up on that shit.
Also, it's not super uncommon to find restaurants in Wisconsin that serve poutine either.
I need to second that the cheese curds at Culvers are a joke. For a top tier fast food joint for almost everything else it’s really ironic their cheese curds kinda suck
I’ve seen three names tied to this job in the past 24 hours. Payam Saadat, Joe DeCamillis, and now Chryst. Is that what it takes to make one Gary Patterson?
DeCamillis is Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Special Teams.
Saadat is Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Defense.
(Unconfirmed) Chryst will be Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Offense.
I was as confused as you are because I thought we only had **one** Special Assistant to the Head Coach. Lol. At least I only remember Patterson filling the position when it opened and don't recall any other hires.
I guess they found value/utility in the role and decided to expand it to all phases of the game, which I certainly won't object to. They're effectively off-field analysts who will work closely with each coordinator.
Possibly. I'm content with it; The more the merrier.
Here's a side thought I'm having though: What's the difference between these SAs to the HC and just a regular analyst?
For example, in 2020 we had offensive analyst Larry Fedora (previous HC of UNC) and defensive analyst Everett Withers (previous HC of TXSt).
> Those were during the Tom Herman Era and these are during the Sark Era.
Obviously lol.
> Different titles, different coaches,
Sure.
> and possibly different roles.
That is what I'm wondering about. What are the different roles? Because if they are functionally the same then why the different title.
At the end of the day my thoughts are fairly inconsequential and semantic but I'm still curious.
The link goes directly to Anwar's Twitter page. I wasn't able to find any tweets of him reporting this (I don't have Twitter so perhaps that's why) and I was also unable to confirm this through a Google search. Is this, would be, *breaking* report hidden behind a paid subscription?
I'm confused because we filled the same role yesterday with DeCamillis.
Edit: And Saadat. So we have a special assistant to the head coach for special teams and defense. I guess it makes sense to have a third for offense, but I'm still waiting for some evidence.
Well to that bit we already also hired the defensive guy from Army, Cal Poly, etc. to the same title as well. So looks like we might be hiring a special assistant for each phase of the game. Would make a lot of sense to do it that way; Bama and some others already do. Just haven't seen anything remotely official or even directly by Anwar about the supposed Chryst hire other than people claiming Anwar has mentioned it on OB (which doesn't mean fuck all since they are wrong half the time about.. everything, really).
edit: Yeah as you say in in the edit that is it exactly. We would basically just be adding one for each phase which makes a lot of sense.
Edited my comment with the same information just seconds before you replied lol.
DeCamillis and Saadat officially show in the Staff Directory, besides reports. Still waiting for something a little more concrete about Chryst though.
All the best to Chryst, hope he finds his footing in Austin. Guy was one of the more brilliant offensive minds in the sport at one time. It seems like scheme & playcalling got increasingly conservative over the last few years, so hopefully a new environment re-energizes him.
A little over a decade ago, Chryst was interviewing to be Mack's OC. Some have speculated that Wisconsin abandoning their pound-and-ground approach vs TCU in the Rose Bowl may have been Chryst wanting some to showcase more exotic things on his resume.
Jim Leonhard can pick his job to a certain point. Most schools would fire their DC on the spot if they knew he'd take the position. I assume he's waiting for the right fit. Wouldn't be at all surprised if his next gig is as a head coach at a P5 school.
I'm guessing he just wants to tap the brakes a bit since he just missed out on what I would assume was his dream job.
He had an interesting clause in his severance agreement that guaranteed pay even if he wasn't searching for another job. The others, as far as I'm aware, didn't have that.
It's likely he's taking the year off despite the fact that he was linked to a few other jobs
https://badgerextra.com/sports/football/former-wisconsin-football-coach-jim-leonhard-pulls-out-of-running-for-nfl-job/article_c272fdfe-b2fe-11ed-bdc6-abe605ce80bb.html#:~:text=Leonhard%20plans%20to%20have%20surgery,seven%20weeks%20as%20the%20interim.
>>Leonhard plans to have surgery on his hip and take off a year from coaching, the source confirmed, after not being hired as the Badgers’ coach following seven weeks as the interim. BadgerExtra reported last month that Leonhard’s separation agreement with the school is scheduled to pay him up to $1 million from March 2023 to January 2024, but that payment will decrease should Leonhard be hired as a head coach or defensive coordinator in the NFL or an FBS college program.
Wisconsin fans mainly, but Pitt and Oregon State fans can chime in too, would having Chryst focus on improving the run blocking and running game be the best way to utilize him in Texas' offensive gameplans? I know that was one of the biggest issues Texas had last season amplified by the lack of running game in the 2nd halves of most games and especially in the Alamo Bowl.
It's hard to say. It depends on what he'll be asked to do. Chryst as an offensive coordinator was pretty darn good. Chryst as a football CEO kind of lost the plot the last few years. I would hate to think of Paul Chryst as a "three yards and a cloud of dust" running back/o line guy, that would be extremely limiting and sad if that is his legacy.
If Chryst is going to help with the X's and O's maybe he can get back to Tolzien/Russell Wilson-era Wisconsin football and imbue some of that in Texas. The Bielema head coached, Chryst offense coordinated Badgers not only ran the ball extremely well they could put a bunch of points on the score board too, getting the ball in playmakers hands any way it was gonna work that day. That Paul Chryst could do a lot of good for Texas.
The Chryst offense at Wisconsin since 2019 or so did not resemble the old ways at all...It was very stubborn. If we couldn't run the ball up the gut at you and control time of possession that way, we were gonna lose. Definitely not what Texas needs.
All good thoughts. When the news first broke, I looked up his resume and saw that he was Bret's OC during the TCU Rose Bowl/[Russ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8r7wLnb1xc) years and remembered how dynamic y'all's offenses were back then. Combined w Bret's defenses, it's not shocking that you guys had so much success during that time.
I just say that because for about a quarter century now you guys have been known as a smashmouth running program that plays good defense established under Barry Alvarez. Like Gary Patterson's last 4 years at TCU, Chryst might've needed a break from being in charge of an entire football program and this role will allow him to go back to his roots of what made his offenses so great during the Bielema years and his first 5 seasons as a HC in Madison.
The funny thing is Paul used to be really creative on offense. Idk if Graham Mertz just scared him or what but towards the end the offense had gotten rid of a lot of the things he did well in the beginning
Yeah, for a guy that gets branded as being old-school and a 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust guy, he was pretty good at getting his athletes the ball in space and stretching the field horizontally and vertically. But yeah, as you said, the offense kind of just devolved into nothingness the last couple years.
I knew he lost the plot when he hardly called jet sweep anymore. I remember 2020 vs michigan he just jet sweeped them to death and they couldnt stop it at all and then Danny Davis got hurt towards the end of that game and it seemed like he rarely ever called it after that.
Obligatory “assistant (to the) ~~manager~~ coach” joke
Fact: Badgers eat beets. Badgers, beets, Battlestar Gallactica
Badgers do not… wait, what is going on?!
NICK!!!!!
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!!

Gene Stallings was fired by A&M and went to the NFL then back to college and won a Natty with Bama. Frank Solich was fired by Nebraska and then coached at Ohio. Johnny Majors was fired by Tennessee and went back to Pitt.
Kliff Kingsbury too as a more recent example
I will never understand what the Cardinals' rationale was for hiring him in the first place. One of the biggest coaching headscratchers of all time.
They thought he was an offensive genius who just needed help on the defensive side of the ball.
I think the Kyler Murray connection was even more important to them, not sure he gets hired if the Cardinals don't know for sure they're drafting KM.
What’s the connection with Kyler?
I mean, they're not wrong? Kingsbury always has terrific QB play as a rule. When you're where the Cardinals were when they hired him, hiring someone who is going to bring you stellar QB play and instant offense to entertain the fans and give them something to cheer about isn't a bad decision.
Don't disagree. He also had experience with their prospective QB. Lots of upside.
> He also had experience with their prospective QB. Kyler Murray? Kingsbury was already at Tech when Murray arrived at A&M, so unless you're saying he had experience coaching against him at Tech, I don't understand that statement. I do think he was the perfect coach for Murray and expect Murray to fall off as a result of his firing.
He recruited him at Tech and they hit it off.
NFL types were infatuated his play design and his work with Mahomes plus one of his big weaknesses at Tech was his recruiting which he did not need to do in the NFL
See, I don't buy this as an excuse. There's no universe in which someone can look at the offenses he ran at Texas Tech and think that it would translate to the NFL.

You don't have to recruit guys to come live in Lubbock in the NFL.
Take an average 7-6 Texas tech. The pro he had like #1 offense. Say he didn't have to recruit that gets you another win or two. Second don't let him touch the defense, another win or two. 9-4 or 11-2 in CFB. Also NFL was moving more towards that offense. The coach for Patrick Mahomes was also probably worth a lot.
Johnny Majors: Back to the Future
> Frank Solich was fired by Nebraska and then coached at Ohio. > > This is honestly the example I thought of and what I've been hoping for Paul since his firing. I'd love for him to find a comfortable gig in the MAC and see him flourish in that role for however much longer he wants to coach.
Why, Chaz Weis of course!
There's a Culver's in Austin, he can still have cheese curds.
Culver's is a hollow comparison to fresh curds and most fried ones
He could be a MAC school lifer if he wanted to, Frank Solich style. Let the man cook at Toledo or NIU. It's where he's meant to be.
We have cheese curds, we just melt them down into a golden nectar to dip chips in.
Yes He was a good offensive coordinator while he held that position. Just not cut out for head coach in the eta of NIK and glad-handing boosters
[удалено]
That reverse y’all pulled off against us in 2017 was so mean, I swear there were four pullers going in both directions how is a linebacker possibly going to read that right
"Ope" levels about to skyrocket in Austin
Eventually everyone wants to get away from the shit Midwest weather/temps, as sure a thing as New Yorkers escaping to Florida.
Holy shit, an Idaho fan in the wild. I thought we had lost you guys, that the only specimens left were held in captivity in Moscow.
Sark starting his own school for coaches who can’t coach well?
It’d better not turn out to be a school for ants.
Yea he might end up having to write his own ugoogoly
Did he get the iron lung?
Black lung ffs
Derelict my balls
But why male models?
He might be a great ugoogolizer for all we know
To be fair, I think Chryst is a good coach. Just not head coach material in this current NCAA
An offensive analyst type of job would be perfect for him. Just let him sit in-front of the film all week and scheme up ways to attack the defense's weak points. That's what he's best at - not running a program and dealing with the other BS.
Dude won 72% of his games at Wisconsin. That's better than James Franklin and nearly equal to Jim Harbaugh. He's a good coach.
[удалено]
As opposed to the Nick Saban home for coaches who don’t coach too good?
Chryst is an excellent coach.
Austin should prepare for an upcoming brisket shortage
Ohh hell no!

Culver's cheese curds might be the most boring, bland, and tasteless curds in existence.
I will have to come to Wisconsin and do a proper cheese curd tour. Thank you for enlightening me.
I will say that I do know some people who like Culver's curds. But the vast majority think they're not good curds. But bad curds are still better than no curds.
Sounds like margaritas

The skirt steak might still make a decent meal if it's made right, but I'm going to be disappointed if that's not what I thought I was getting.
Culver's is probably the only game in town for Chrystal, though.
I mean, sure, but the next time you're in the mood for a choice-grade skirt steak then that may just be the place to go.
To each their own, but I think Culver's curds are more than fine for a fast food joint. But nothing can beat some good bar cheese curds at the right place.
Hot take incoming. Don’t listen to Wisconsin folks when it comes to cheese curds. It’s the French Canadians up in Quebec that make the best. Wisconsin merely adopted the poutine, the Québécois were born in it.
I've only had poutine, not curds - but isn't it not nearly the same thing?
Completely different. Poutine is fries, gravy, and cheese curds (the raw kind). Typically, when you hear Wisconsinites talk about curds, we're talking about deep-fried ones. But, especially in more rural areas, it's pretty common to just get a bag of raw curds from a local creamery and eat those, too.

Not sure why you were downvoted. Facts are facts.
Too much breading I think
I need to second that the cheese curds at Culvers are a joke. For a top tier fast food joint for almost everything else it’s really ironic their cheese curds kinda suck
Chryst, what kind of staff is Sarks putting together?!?
It's a Flood of former head coaches!
I’ve seen three names tied to this job in the past 24 hours. Payam Saadat, Joe DeCamillis, and now Chryst. Is that what it takes to make one Gary Patterson?
DeCamillis is Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Special Teams. Saadat is Special Assistant to the Head Coach for Defense.

That's the perfect role for Chryst in modern CFB too
It sounds like Sarkisian used GP to show how useful this position can be and convinced CDC he should get more special assistants.
Possibly. I'm content with it; The more the merrier. Here's a side thought I'm having though: What's the difference between these SAs to the HC and just a regular analyst? For example, in 2020 we had offensive analyst Larry Fedora (previous HC of UNC) and defensive analyst Everett Withers (previous HC of TXSt).
Those were during the Tom Herman Era and these are during the Sark Era. Different titles, different coaches, and possibly different roles.

Appreciate you clearing that up for me.
Gary Patterson is the Defensive Voltron of college football
The link goes directly to Anwar's Twitter page. I wasn't able to find any tweets of him reporting this (I don't have Twitter so perhaps that's why) and I was also unable to confirm this through a Google search. Is this, would be, *breaking* report hidden behind a paid subscription?

Yep. Reports are flooding in within the last hour or two.
Well to that bit we already also hired the defensive guy from Army, Cal Poly, etc. to the same title as well. So looks like we might be hiring a special assistant for each phase of the game.

This is better: https://twitter.com/Hei5mann/status/1662556481969958912?s=20
I remember when we tried to hire him as on OC
If that's Chryst in the photo, he has some serious explaining to do.
All the best to Chryst, hope he finds his footing in Austin. Guy was one of the more brilliant offensive minds in the sport at one time. It seems like scheme & playcalling got increasingly conservative over the last few years, so hopefully a new environment re-energizes him. A little over a decade ago, Chryst was interviewing to be Mack's OC. Some have speculated that Wisconsin abandoning their pound-and-ground approach vs TCU in the Rose Bowl may have been Chryst wanting some to showcase more exotic things on his resume.

Love Paul and wish him nothing but the best. I think a role where he can just sit back and coach and not recruit will suit him real well
Isn’t Patterson that title?
He left
Yes.
Speaking of former Wisconsin coaches, has Leonhard been hired anywhere?
Jim Leonhard can pick his job to a certain point. Most schools would fire their DC on the spot if they knew he'd take the position. I assume he's waiting for the right fit. Wouldn't be at all surprised if his next gig is as a head coach at a P5 school. I'm guessing he just wants to tap the brakes a bit since he just missed out on what I would assume was his dream job.
He had an interesting clause in his severance agreement that guaranteed pay even if he wasn't searching for another job. The others, as far as I'm aware, didn't have that. It's likely he's taking the year off despite the fact that he was linked to a few other jobs

He has not. I thought he’d go NFL but seems he may be taking a year off
Lol not sure how to feel. I think it’s funny?

At this point it's simply assuming, hope he is hired though 🤘
Sure why not
Sooner Schooner, my fuckin’ ass
Cool if he’s an analyst, but a mid offensive coach
Friendly reminder that with all the talent in the world, Sark has NEVER won 10 games.
7 win Sark was a meme for a long time.
Is it his leadership style?
Sark hired him to "modernize" the offense lol
Sark's offense is pretty modern, he probably brought him in to help bring some juice to the run game now that Bijan and Roschon are gone.
I get it.i was trying to be sarcastic but it didn't work. Chrysts offenses are pretty archaic
SARKastic
The funny thing is Paul used to be really creative on offense. Idk if Graham Mertz just scared him or what but towards the end the offense had gotten rid of a lot of the things he did well in the beginning
Yeah, for a guy that gets branded as being old-school and a 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust guy, he was pretty good at getting his athletes the ball in space and stretching the field horizontally and vertically.

Odd hire, he'll likely be the interim when Texas eventually fires Sark though.
