Paul Chryst was a rather successful college football coach. The problem? He seemingly wore out his welcome at Wisconsin after a stretch that saw him basically dominate in the Big Ten from 2015-19.After leading Wisconsin, his alma mater, to 10-win campaigns in four of his first five seasons, Cyryst went 4-3 in 2020 and 9-4 in 2021, which was apparently enough of a "slip" to earn him a pink slip in 2022. The Badgers fired Chryst mid-season last season after a 2-3 start with losses to Washington State, No. 3 Ohio State and Illinois.Chryst won't be a head coach again...

Another noteworthy member of the NFL community believes Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton could sit quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of backup Jarrett Stidham this fall. Sports Illustrated NFL senior writer Conor Orr predicted this week that Wilson "will not start a majority of the Broncos' games under center" during the 2023 season. "Payton is particular," Orr said. "He’s the head chef, and, while the quarterback is an integral part of making up his game plan, if you’re not running the plays as designed, he’s going to find someone who will." Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw spent the 2022 season as Payton's...

For starters, he turns 35 in September. Secondly, his acquisition from Brooklyn gutted the team's depth and squeezed its roster flexibility. Regardless, Durant's presence takes the Suns from a good regular-season team to a...

"Anthony and I have talked a long time about that, but we really talked more about being a great quarterback and what that really means in this league because we're not drafting Olympic athletes....
