Paul Chryst knows value of Badgers job

Paul Chryst has returned home to be the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers after leaving for Pitt. Chryst played quarterback for the Badgers from 1986-1989 and was the offensive coordinator from 2006-2011 so it's understandable that he would call this his dream job.

He stopped just short of that during a sit down with the Big Ten Network but here is what he had to say:

"I feel fortunate and am excited to be here. But I thought every job I had coaching football was a dream job. But it is pretty unique to be able to come back and coach where my father did, where I was a player and an assistant. Wisconsin isn’t just any job to me. I have been really fortunate and it continues to be that way."

Badgers fans are certainly hoping that Chryst is around for a long time to guide the program.
