Former Wisconsin football head coach Paul Chryst may have to regroup and continue reevaluating his potential coaching options heading into 2024.
Based on information from a source, Chryst, initially reported by BadgerNotes.com as a top contender for the Iowa Hawkeyes’ offensive coordinator role, will not get the job after being named a finalist.
Instead, our source close to the situation shared that Kirk Ferentz intends to hire Joe Philbin, with an announcement expected to come shortly after their matchup against Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl.
If/when Iowa formally announces Philbin as its next offensive coordinator, it’s a hiring that will make sense for Kirk Ferentz, and he’s certainly more than qualified for the position his son couldn’t handle.
