Family:
Katy Chryst remembers telling everyone in fourth grade that she wanted to be a football coach.
And it made perfect sense: coaching and football run in the Chryst family.
She’s the daughter of Badger Football Head Coach Paul Chryst, who had previously held coaching positions for the University of Pittsburgh, Oregon State University and the San Diego Chargers.
Wife:
Paul Chryst’s wife Robin Chryst is the mother of their three children, Katy, JoJo, and Danny. Robin has no problem addressing the media and appeared very comfortable in interviews following his hiring at Wisconsin in 2014.
She stood there with a bunch of microphones in front of her face, and she answered all the questions about transition like a champ.
