The two men above coached against one another during their respective team's final game of last season, a postseason affair at the Cotton Bowl. They meet again in six months, in the final regular season matchup of 2017.
The only difference is that P.J. Fleck has a new job; he is now the head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Paul Chryst led Wisconsin to its second double-digit win season in as many tries in 2016, finishing 11-3 overall and losing to Penn State in the Big Ten Championship Game before besting Fleck's Western Michigan Broncos in Dallas, 24-16.
