Because we are a P5 program stuck in the MAC. Simple as that. Correction: We're a P5 SCHOOL stuck in the MAC. We're very much a MAC program though in terms of funding and facilities.

Kansas lists its institutional peers as: BUFFALO, Florida, MSU, Indiana, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, UNC, Virginia, Oregon As a program: No, not yet. And Kansas in a state with not much else going on to invest in, and a school getting Big 12 checks of close to $40M. We could fund our entire athletics budget with a check like that.

ChubbyHubby Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Honestly, I think ADMA will get this hire right. 2 things have me saying that. 1. He's a football guy. 2. He will likely want to make a splash that will look good on his resume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The athletics portion of Boldly Buffalo was already doing very well reaching Athletic Department goals, now it is Boldly Buffalo Billion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shitshow. Hopefully our guys will play with a chip on their shoulder and something Leopold couldn’t do, win a conference championship. I wish him the best of luck like the rest of the last 7 coaches. Even Miles and his dishonorable program couldn’t win there. At least LL family is set, which is what college football is all about.

Tee4three Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 James Madison is still playing football, so I would imagine anything that comes up he would shoot down in hopes of keeping attention on the up coming games rather than his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the coach really has to say that. He cannot publicly say he wants out. My guess there is no block on his phone for 716 numbers or for search firm numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But standard procedure would be to just ignore one's inclusion on a casually tweeted list of 20 prospective candidates. Instead, he chose to tweet "nope". I'd wager he won't be our coach, even just based on the timing timeline Alnutt stated and the FCS season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) UB has never had a HC who was an 1-A/FBS HC before being hired. Maybe that could change with this hire. Pollian grew up here and has the family name, an actual former HC, ran the 4-3 and pistol at Nevada, special teams coach skills would be nice, lots out there on why he didn't get extended at Nevada. Lembo has the MAC history and is well regarded. Tim Beck and Lance Taylor would also be impressive options. As a former assistant, Liguist is someone whose career I hadn't followed since he left here, but I recall he was a strong assistant. I'm very impressed where he is now. Kenres the Toledo DC would just be another Leipold, with a gaudy Mt Union D-3 record. The other names are basically what the media tosses out when we have searched for a HC in the past, NJ-based names and a bunch of lower-staffed P5 assistants.

Didn't remember that about leipold, and yes that was the point I was trying to get across. He wouldn't be the first coach to say something about staying and then instantly leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBulls99 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Brad Riter and Scott Wilson did a podcast last night with a pretty comprehensive list of options for coach. Good listen. https://www.trendingbuffalo.com/commentary/podcast/ubbulls/now-what-ub-coach-lance-leipold-heads-to-kansas/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
