MADISON, WIS. — Winds of change encircled Wisconsin’s football program this off-season, and not just the annual attrition and addition of players.

UW head coach Paul Chryst spoke on Monday afternoon inside the McClain Center, one day before spring practices. He discussed a variety of topics in his nearly 40-minute chat with reporters.

BadgerBlitz.com presents the first half of Chryst’s press conference, talking about the coaching staff changes, Bobby Engram and the playcalling process, Mickey Turner’s new role, and more.

Chryst then answered questions regarding Al Johnson leading the running backs, the updated offensive coaching staff, the conversation with Bob Bostad that led to him switching position groups to mentor, and more.
