Wow, tough to have to live on just 19.5M + whatever other millions he currently has the rest of his life. I'll bet in total he'll have about 30M in net worth. Why coach any further?
 
Wisconsin and Paul Chryst have agreed to a reduced buyout of $11 million, to be paid before Feb. 1, 2023, per a school official. The Badgers were initially on the hook for roughly $19.5 million for terminating Chryst without cause. The UW Foundation will pay the reduced buyout.
 
Why coach any further?
Because people value their worth based on their profession for some odd reason.
The Chief Justice of the PA Supreme Court just died yesterday and was set to retire in a few months or something.
I don't understand why people tie their professional life to their value and work way, way too long.
I think the average age of Congress is like 68. 60 f-ing 8, the average age. Like get a life people. If you work past 65 you've done it wrong. Shit if you work past 60 you probably did it wrong or live beyond your actual means.

Wrong, I'm 80 and love what I do. Don't need the money but keeps me busy and occupied. Why should I quit and just "veg" out. Keeps me in touch and keeps me active.
 
Not sure exactly what Chryst wants...but sim9ly retiring and maintaining his relationship with both the 8niversity and within the state seems like a smart move.

His coaching and personal styles are things of the past. It will be hard for him to win as his opportunities decline (see Mora, Jim Jr at UConn).

Perspective can be unique to each person. I retired at 59 and my wife died 4 months later. All the things that we planned (and I imagined retirement to be) were no longer of interest to me.
I was approached about taking a job in my field so to speak and decided it was best for me....at least spending some of my time in familiar territory (as everything else had been turned inside out).
Here I am 14 years later and still working. Actually, Its mostly a hobby and many of the school athletic directors I work with are somewhat like my children. I try hard not to be judgmental about other peoples circumstances.

I'm far from retirement but I also love what I do. I would probably volunteer to do similar work, so why not work and get paid. Outside of not having to work in bad weather, not really much of an upside.

One thing I learned from the "elders" on our old board was the need to remain active as we age. Many of them told tales of peers who kicked back and passed early.

I agree that too much of our self esteem is tied to our jobs. When I was a business exec I had the opportunity to travel a lot and meet folks from all walks of life. In general- when you asked people "what they do" those from the Northeast and Midwest mostly told you their job title. Mountain states and Westerners talked about hobbies or passions (skiing, running etc).

My bride is 59 and I'm 57. We have thought of leaving our jobs and simplifying...but the reality is that given the uncertainty of Social Security and Healthcare coverage/expenses we are going to gut out our careers as long as possible.

After that we fully expect to remain employed in some capacity for the rest of our lives to save up for trips/ treats etc

Pretty interesting. Noticed no one mentioned family. What defines a person? Work/career? Hobbies/entertainment? Or maybe social/volunteer activities?

Truth is they all round out the person. Paterno and many other coaches in college and high school will say developing quality people that are good citizens, good family members, good roll models are more important than win/lose records and the true rewards of their profession.

As for Chryst.... he always seemed like a very good man, a decent coach but not an inspiring leader. He would be great recruiter, a solid OC, but not a head coach. Wish him well where ever he lands.

A surprising number of people who retire then quickly pass away. I think most people need some sort of real purpose to continue on.
 
I used to think I’d retire the day I turn 60. But after watching others struggle with health and purpose in retirement, I no longer plan to.
 
I would say "do what makes you happy", but with the amount of happiness I see on this forum... 🤣🤣🤣
