THE RED ARMY IS OBSOLETE.

No, not Vladimir Putin's.  Paul Chryst's.

Chyrst’s days in Madison were numbered before this loss. Chyrst achieved a lot of success early in his coaching career, winning three Big Ten West Division titles, a Cotton Bowl and an Orange Bowl. Though he finishes 67–26 over seven seasons, the Badgers overall record this season is 2–3, including 0–2 in the Big Ten.

Milwaukee radio sports pundit Bryan Dee repeated a message he has long been on.

It’s time for an entire philosophy change in Madison.

It’s not 1990 anymore.

Ground and pound by recruiting offensive linemen and running backs isn’t a winning strategy in the modern era of college football.

Nor is it a system that top recruits want to play in.

If I’m a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, my ultimate goal is to play in the NFL.

Wisconsin’s offensive system isn’t getting me there if I’m a quarterback or wide receiver.

You need top players at those positions to be competitive.

It’s that simple.

Yet the leadership in Madison is stuck in this antiquated mindset because “that’s Wisconsin football.”

Well, guess what? Wisconsin football stinks right now.

It’s deeper than Chryst.

The game has passed Wisconsin by.

Philosophical change is in order.

Now’s the time to do it.

Without successful quarterbacks and receivers, it might be difficult to showcase the running backs and offensive linemen, many of whom have gone on to play on Sunday.
