Makes him asst HC. Ouch..one of best in business. Chryst apparently demoted him so time for a change. I would be particularly hurt if I were a Penn State legacy OT with NFL dreams who chose Badgers bc of Rudolph's track record.
 
206 rushing yards against us, not counting Mertzs' losses is not too shabby. The essentially ran the ball down our throats, as usual.

Plus, it was with a probably all B1G Dt that we lost later in the year.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have any experience with a collegiate athlete, as a parent or as close family member?

Most collegiate athletes see multiple assistant coaching changes during a 4 year career. Many see HC changes during a 4 year career. They call it a coaching carrousel for a reason. Everybody knows this up front.
No. I hear you but Rudolph has been following Chryst around for 13 years and UW alum. I told my buddy who is hardcore UW fan about rumor two weeks ago and he said 'no way, those two are extremely tight'. Just saying that this a shocker for UW.
 
Your friend has been living in a "Homie's dream world". Collegiate athletes and their families have a completely different understanding of reality from that of the avid fan.

The athlete's reality is far less tribal. They understand the cold reality of the business and thunder dome of competing for playing time. Tribalism is for fans and alums.
Don't doubt your point, but lots of recruits seem totally shocked when head coaches change jobs, e.g. Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly this year.

Going to disagree here. Some simply hitch their wagon to guy who develops NFL talent. Rucci was very vocal that Rudolph was big reason for selecting UW. If UW selects someone with different philosophy on weight and strength approach then Rucci family might not like it for dear Nolan's development. Happens all the time. That said, Chryst is pretty bland guy and will go in-house hire with same philosophy so probably no risk here.
 
When my son was in high school I advised him "All coaches lie."
His personal experience proved the point.

yea football coaches certainly starting at high school level are epic hypocrites. Had a new coach come my son junior year made all this big, heart felt talk about how he was making his home in our community, joining and church blah blah and end of season bounced to a "better" option. My son befriended a kid that summer at governor school who was all excited for the "new" coach who just came to their school, who was the guy who just left our school. My son tells kid do not be surprised when he leaves and kid like "oh no he joining a church and blah blah blah". Sure enough end of season coach bounces to low level job a Ga Tech. I mean Brian Kelly was literally in a recruits home recruiting him to ND when his deal with LSU closed. I mean how much more coldly hypocritical can some one be

And we were at full strength (Mustipher was in there)... yep, not too shabby at all.
