Wisconsin AD freaked out and did what so many stupid HawkeyeHeaven, IowaFan, L. Wade, Shawnee morons have wanted to do from time to time with Kirk, and that is "totally change it up and go after it".
Chryst had become a bore and was going through a slightly mediocre stretch and started 2-3 that season. In their defense, he wasn't adjusting to the new era in recruiting, but they could have forced him to. Instead, not in their defense, they fired a guy that had this record at Wisconsin...

Pure fucking stupidity. Even dumber than when Nebrantska fired Bo Pelini while listening to their idiot fans.
Now look at where both programs are and have been. I hope Iowa never makes this idiotic mistake.
