Agree. I thought he was a good coach and Wisconsin may look back and regret this move. Maybe Wisconsin players can take a look at what Iowa players have done at Purdue. Hello linemen and RB's
He had a decent QB a couple years ago. But he allowed him to leave via the portal so his greatest QB recruit in the history of uw qb recruits could start! And that QB has been aweful since day 1 . QB Mertz killed this team! And coach chryst put all his eggs in the wrong basket by playing him. As long as Mertz is qb, uw will be bad.
A lot depends on the school and their previous history. Auburn’s coach lost to PSU and the rumors started he was going to be fired!
if Brohm was at Auburn, He would have been fired long ago. But at Purdue he gets an extension for going to a mediocre bowl game!

I am surprised Chryst would agree to such a reduced settlement, unless the $11M lump sum paid in 2023 equates to close to the $20M across the years left in his contract.
It could be that or possibly something else thrown in there like deferred or other bonus payments - like you, I can't see Chryst just walking away from that kind of economic value he's otherwise earned or entitled to.
A lot of people that made fun of Bielema and how bad the program at Illinois was...has not taken him long to change things there...quality staff it seems, and, team is much improved as well. He beat Wisconsin at its own game on Saturday, and, no doubt enjoyed doing so in Madison.
Or maybe the original contract had offset language if he got another job.
Wisconsin has 10 seasons with 10 wins or more since 2005. Chryst won 10 games 4 times in his 6 full seasons. Was 13 and 1 in 2017 and won the Orange Bowl.
Nebraska had won 10 games once in the six years prior to Pelini's arrival and haven't won 10 games since. His worst record in 6 years was 9-4.
Purdue has 1 ten win season in its history.

If you look at W/L %, program definitely trending down the last 3 seasons versus his first 5 years.
Is that Paul Chryst's fault, or UW's fault?
Like say, the mere fact that UW thinks that it is some sort of nationally relevant program or some power program is why this happened, and, why I hope that they fail moving forward. They basically are Nebraska a decade or so later, and, may be them moving forward...which, they almost deserve given how they handled this situation.
