Sunday evening marked the end of Paul Chryst’s tenure as Wisconsin’s head coach. The Badgers announced the move and held a press conference on Big Ten Network to answer questions surrounding the decision.

Just as the news broke, Wisconsin media, players past and present, and outsiders reacted on Twitter and other social media platforms. The most notable reaction? Star running back Braelon Allen, who had some choice words for fans that turned on former head coach Paul Chryst.

It was an emotional press conference, and one that stemmed from an emotional locker room being told the news.
