In a stunning and emotional twist, former Wisconsin Badgers head coach Paul Chryst has officially returned to the program — this time in a new role as Senior Offensive Advisor, according to university officials.
The announcement was made just moments ago at Camp Randall Stadium, sending waves of excitement through the Wisconsin football community and reigniting nostalgia among fans and players alike.
Chryst, who served as head coach of the Badgers from 2015 to 2022, led the team to three Big Ten West Division titles and multiple bowl victories. Known for his steady leadership, offensive mind, and deep ties to the program, Chryst’s return is being hailed as a major boost for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
“Coach Chryst is Badger football through and through,” said current head coach Luke Fickell. “Bringing him back as a Senior Offensive Advisor is not just a strategic move — it’s a cultural one. His presence will elevate everyone in the building.”
Fans erupted on social media following the announcement, with hashtags like #ChrystReturns and #BadgersFamily trending within minutes.
Chryst’s new role will focus on offensive game planning, player development, and mentoring young coaches — a move seen by many as a masterstroke by the Wisconsin athletic department.
This move also marks a full-circle moment for Chryst, who played quarterback for the Badgers in the 1980s and later served as offensive coordinator before becoming head coach.
