Pitt Hires Paul Chryst

The University of Pittsburgh hired University of Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst as their new head football coach. Let's take a look at Wisconsin's offensive ranking since 2008. Wisconsin's offense ranked as the #50 most productive in the nation. In 2009 Wisconsin improved to be the #33 ranked offense in the football bowl subdivision. The following season Wisconsin's offense improved again to be the #12 most productive offense in the nation. As of the end of the regular season (including the Big 10 conference championship game) Wisconsin's offense is the #3 ranked offense in the nation. As you can see, Wisconsin's offense has been improving since 2008. Pitt is hoping that Chryst can be as productive while the head coach of the Panthers.
