Chryst hasn’t made decision

The Paul Chryst watch continues.

In the last week the University of Wisconsin’s offensive coordinator has interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys for a vacant position on their staff and received a multiyear contract offer to remain with the Badgers, who finished in the top 10 of both major polls last season.

Yet according to sources, neither Dallas coach Wade Phillips nor UW coach Bret Bielema had learned of Chryst’s plans as of Monday.

The plot thickened Monday when the San Diego Chargers hired Norv Turner as head coach. Turner, who was the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator last season, worked with Chryst in San Diego for three seasons (1999-2001) and the two remain close.
