Paul Chryst Opts Against Iowa OC Role, Staying With Texas

Former Wisconsin football head coach Paul Chryst has decided to stay with Texas for the upcoming season, removing himself from consideration for the opportunity to become the offensive coordinator at Iowa, as reported by FootballScoop’s John Brice.

Chryst, considered one of the top candidates for the vacant position at Iowa left by former OC Brian Ferentz, will continue in his role as offensive analyst and special assistant to the head coach at Texas.

This past season, Texas went 12-2 and made a College Football Playoff appearance under head coach Steve Sarkisian before losing to the Washington Huskies in the national semi-final.
