Leipold is impressive
- Thread starter mt_slothmore
- Start date
Guessing Leipold will have offers to take decent to good/great, not mindnumbingly bad to decent....

I am all in on him now. I was not but I am now.
I also think most fans would love him because he is so milquetoast and I don't mean that in a bad way...but he is the type of coach that even our dorkiest most "look at me" posters would have a hard time creating rumors about.
Kansas up 42-21 with 2:00 left in the game. Zero turnovers zero penalties on Kansas.
Their players play with enthusiasm and an edge.

He's been the poster child of building programs to a degree. Others have done well when handed the keys of a finely tuned machine.
His stock went up and Kliemen went down today
According to Sipple, who says he has known him for 25 years, Lance would take the job, no question.
Of course he would. And I bet he’d be relatively cheap too but is that what we’re looking for?
Might have to settle if we can’t get anyone else.

Been on the Leipold train for awhile now. I just worry when he drops some games at KU the love fest will be over. I am crossing my fingers for 8 wins so that Nebraska will be okay picking him up.
A battle of 3-0 teams next week in Lawrence - Kansas vs Duke. An early season battle of coaches performing massive turnarounds. Go Devils!
Two things I don't like about Leipold:
1 - He's almost 60 years old
2 - How would he fix our terrible defense?
I feel like we either need to hire a great defensive coach, or someone that we know will bring a very good D.C.

I would think that Trev would not be swayed if Leipold is the guy, unless the wheels fall off. But who knows?
You expect him to lose some games at Kansas. It is Kansas after all. But he's got those boys believing.
My only concern:
He was spectacular at UWW for years. Why was Buffalo the only team to give him a look? And then why only Kansas?
I don't know why he stayed at Whitewater as long as he did. But he skipped a level and went from D3 to D1 and was successful. He worked his way up in his younger years learning the trade. I don't care, the guy clearly knows how to put a team together a staff and a game plan. His teams play hard and they don't beat themselves. Kansas fans know that we are interested in they are worried.
Leipold was on the recruiting staff under Solich, so yeah, I am sure Sipple has known him for 25 years.
Liepold is Tom Osborne 2.0. I wonder what his buyout is. I think it's very obtainable though because Kansas isn't paying that much right now.
