The head coach of Wisconsin unexpectedly resigned from the Texas football program.
As we approach the 2024 season, the Texas football program is among the finest in the country. Quinn Ewers’s Heisman Trophy candidacy and Oklahoma’s transition to the SEC will be important story elements to watch this season.
While June and July are relatively calm months for sports, Joe Cook of On3 reports that the Texas football program is undergoing changes as a result of the departure of former Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst.
“Paul Chryst has left the Texas football program,” an Inside Texas spokesman for the University of Texas said late on Wednesday night. Chryst served as head coach Steve Sarkisian’s special assistant in 2023.
Chryst was an assistant coach under Steve Sarkisian for the Texas football team last season, but he is no longer associated with the program. Additionally, at the end of May, he was spotted at a Green Bay Packers practice, which prompted a lot of rumors. However, Chryst’s destination has not yet been officially announced.
Paul Chryst’s tenure at Texas concludes
Chryst was fired as the head coach of Wisconsin in the middle of the 2022 season, and he only stayed with the Longhorns for a single year. From 2005 until 2011, Chryst served as an assistant coach for the Badgers before taking a position as head coach at Pitt. He returned to Madison in 2015, where he served as head coach until 2022.
