The calendar has flipped to October, and the coaching carousel is in full rotation. Does the Paul Chryst firing impact Penn State Football?

Penn State Football enters the week on a well-deserved bye week. While James Franklin and company are resting and preparing for the upcoming matchup with Michigan, Wisconsin decided to break the Big Ten internet.

The firing of Paul Chryst is a rare midseason move in the Big Ten. Especially for a coach that has led his team to three Big Ten Championship appearances(only two more than our very own James Franklin).
