It appears that Wisconsin offensive coordinator, Paul Chryst will be named the new coach of the Pitt Panthers very soon. He appears to be gaining steam and gaining it fast. The reported leader for a long time, Mario Cristobal, the head coach of Florida International, but he appears to have been passed by Chryst.
It was also reported that basketball coach Jamie Dixon reached out to his Wisconsin counterpart, Bo Ryan to gauge more information about Chryst. The recommendation Ryan gave was glowing, and it matched Western PA (and Wisconsin AD) native Barry Alvarez’s words to Pitt about the prospect.
For the record, I am in favor of Cristobal for several reasons. The biggest one is that it is widely reported that Chryst does not like recruiting and has a boring personality….that worries me GREATLY for a head coach. However, I said from the beginning that I was happy with everyone that was interviewing and I will stick to that.
