Is this the worst loss in the last 20 years of this program given the score, opponent and being a home game?

No. That loss to Illinois in 2019 was worse. Undefeated, game in hand, and then just poor execution and decision making from the numb nut on the sidelines. Our only losses that year were to teams ranked in the top 10 and that loss was so deflating, it lead to an incredibly poor effort vs Ohio State the next week.

It was obviously time but I’m still stunned they actually did it.

It was smart to do it in-season for reasons I stated above. You're gonna owe him that money after that dumbass extension they gave him last season no matter what. It does nothing for you to keep him around as a lame duck. You have a highly sought after assistant that someone's gonna make a head coach AND you have the current frontrunner for National Coach of the Year being a born and bread Wisconsinite that multiple teams are going to chase. 

Gives you the perfect format to make the decision on whether you go with the unproven young gun or the coach that wins at every stop he makes.

It makes perfect sense, just thought the athletic department would settle for Chryst and refuse to cut the check.

It’d be really hard for me to not giving Leipold a call barring anything short of a miraculous turnaround. I like Leonhard, but Leipold just wins. Everywhere and always.
