Longhorns land former Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst

Less than one year after his departure from Camp Randall and the University of Wisconsin, former Badger head coach Paul Chryst will inherit special assistant duties at the University of Texas at Austin next fall.

Chryst, a two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year selection, orchestrated a 65-23 record during his seven-year tenure while commanding the sidelines in Madison. Now, after 11 years of collegiate head coaching under his belt, the Badger alumni will transition to one of the most storied programs in NCAA Division I pigskin history.

What’s more, Chryst appears poised to collaborate with quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, nephew to NFL icons Peyton and Eli Manning.
