Chryst for sure. People talk about Northwestern and the huge academic hurdles to qualifying prospects, but Wisconsin is also an elite academic institution. They rarely get big name guys, maybe a few 4* every year, but they're routinely ranked top 10 and are a factory for offensive linemen. He's a big part of it.

Chryst is perfect for Wisconsin, maybe an Iowa. And he appears to be squeaky clean.

Sounds like someone has been listening to Wisconsin fans who act like MIT is safety school for Wi applicants.

He's a good coach. Can he do it outside of Wisconsin? He did so so at Pitt, so not sure. I wanted MN to pursue him when they ended up hiring Kill

I think that Pitt was an orchestrated training job. Barry got him hired with the end game being that he comes back to Wisconsin.

Frost. Has the highest upside of anyone IMO.

FINALLY, somebody got the right answer...

All you tards going "Chryst" are basing it off prior records, which OP specifically banned

I think next year they'll win the West. We all saw what he did at year two at UCF. The offense with Martinez will be scary.

Not really. I am matching the coaching style to my favorite team. Chryst is at Wisconsin for the same reason that Frost is at Nebraska. And Fitzgerald is at Northwestern.

Frost or Brohm. Recruiting is a huge part of college football and these two are the ones who could get it done IMO. Chryst Fitz Fleck and even Ferentz are great but developing what they have, but that's not good enough at a blue blood. If I was a fan of a different school my answer might chsnge

But you can't BASE IT on anything tangible!

Wait, I think you've actually nailed it

Sounds like a disgruntled gopher

Not all.

I just think some of you overstate it. University of Wisconsin is fine school. But like I said, some of you guys act as if MIT is safety school

Also as good as Chryst has been, he's only beaten 4 ranked teams since he's been there (LSU 2016, WMU 2016, NW 2017, Miami 2017).

I think this season is big for him as it's now mostly his guys. Can he win with his own dudes?
