How fortunate was the University of Wisconsin football team to retain offensive coordinator Paul Chryst during the offseason, despite overtures from Texas? Rivals.com lists Chryst, who is entering his seventh season as offensive coordinator for the Badgers — and eighth season overall as an assistant with the team — as the third-hottest assistant football coach in the nation. Chryst trails only Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops.
