Wisconsin started the season 2-3 and decided to fire head coach Paul Chryst according to Adam Rittenberg.
Chryst has coached Wisconsin for eight seasons, posting a 67-26 overall record. After notching 13 wins in 2017 and 10 wins in 2019, Wisconsin has not reached double-digit wins in a season since. Starting in 2020, he has a 15-10 record. The 2-3 start to the season puts Wisconsin at risk of not making a bowl game if they can’t play better than .500 football the rest of the way.
The school announced that defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard as the interim coach. Wisconsin plays Northwestern on Saturday in their next game.

I would of liked to have seen him be successful. I think the reason for bringing him in was had been a good offensive coach in the past. Plus while at Pittsburgh he developed a couple good quarterbacks. He hasn’t had any of that success at Wisconsin. We need to get a coach that can develop a QB. Let’s face it the only real good QB was Russell Wilson and he came in already prepared to play. I hope Coach Chryst has good luck in his future .
