Nick Herbig reacts to Wisconsin’s first game without Paul Chryst
Published:
There has been a lot of emotional fallout from the firing of Paul Chryst as the head coach of Wisconsin, but one of the biggest reactions now is Badgers outside linebacker Nick Herbig.
After the 42-7 road win over the Northwestern Wildcats, Herbig opened up about the departure in his press conference:
“I lost one of my best friends I saw every day,” said Herbig. “I talked to him last night on the phone. I miss that guy for sure. I know he was watching us today, though. If he is watching this: I love you coach.”
