Here&#8217;s what you should know about him.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW officials last October gave Chryst a new contract which included a raise of about $900,000 and a total compensation package of $5.25 million per year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">McIntosh told reporters Sunday night he and Chryst had agreed to a buyout significantly less than was called for in the contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The agreement is obviously good for UW.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But why would Chryst agree to take less money?  Chryst was not available Monday but he had, under the terms of his contract, a duty to mitigate in the buyout section. <\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In short, if Chryst took a Division I coaching job or a job in pro football during the term of the liquidated damages, UW officials could deduct money from the buyout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">That term now ends on Feb.  one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In addition, his annual compensation package for the bulk of his seven-plus seasons at UW generally left him in the middle of the pack or lower among Big Ten coaches.  Even after he received the new contract last year, he was the eighth-highest Big Ten coach according to USA Today. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Chryst never appeared to be concerned less experienced and less successful coaches were being paid more annually.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_hf\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"method\" data-gl-method=\"loadHb64\" aria-label=\"JS main subscriber embed\" data-t-cel=\"hb64\" data-gl-hb64=\"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\"\/>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best gnt_em__lp\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=2219&prm-gnteamid=111&prm-league=NCAAF#fhp-assetid=8171623001\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MADISON \u2013 University of Wisconsin officials are set to pay former head football coach Paul Chryst a buyout of $11 million.
