TFD: Wisconsin football sent recruiting letter with huge factual error about coach

January 22, 2015 at 10:40PM

The Badgers have been running through head coaches faster than a lot of us go through a cough drop, so those associated with the program can be forgiven if they aren't quite up to speed on all the facts about new head coach Paul Chryst.

Still, they should probably know the name of the school at which he was most recently a head coach. Per Lost Lettermen — and called to our attention by noted Badgers fan Stensation — that doesn't appear to be the case. A recruit sent out this tweet:

Everything is good until the last part. Chryst, of course, was the head coach at Pitt and not Penn State. Hey, they're both in Pennsylvania!
