I'm not sure what to expect either but I'd guess there won't be much different this soon. I'd hope we'd scheme more in the pass game and not run every damn 1st down. Northwestern's offense is terrible so this is the game to experiment since the defense won't be as stressed to cover the offense as usual. I do hope we make changes on the OL. Nelson isn't a tackle, Tyler Beach sucks and Michael Furtney has absolutely no sand in his pants in the run game. With the risk of kids transferring, play your most talented kids, not this upperclassmen only Iowa type bull****. maybe that is the biggest opportunity will be the starting spots being open to be earned all over again.

Unless he finishes with a losing record (in his games) he will get the job because he’s already been eyed up as the replacement. Idk what to think.

He’ll have to look actively bad as interim to not get the full time job I think. Perfect world you retain him at DC and bring in somebody proven, but I’m ok with handing him the reigns. Anything but what we’ve been doing (Chryst). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he goes 2-5, realizes he isn’t ready to be a head coach, we hire Leipold and he stays on as DC for several more years and profit.

beekay414 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think it'll also compound with how Leipold finishes the season at Kansas. If the job is just going to transition to Leonhard and the staff remains the same, well then I don't expect much actual change. Leonhard is a good coach but he's not a miracle worker. Leipold is also 58 years old. Who knows how long he's gonna coach for going forward. Its a longshot due to 1) Leipold won't wanna have to look over his shoulder every waking moment and 2) Leonhard won't want to be the second fiddle again, but I'd try to go for Leipold and retain Leonhard as DC. Unlikely to happen, I know. We need to approach this as a trial run and make a sound decision in the off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think McIntosh is going to just hand the job to Leonhard. If he earns it, by all means, remove the interim tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be really hard for me to not giving Leipold a call barring anything short of a miraculous turnaround. I like Leonhard, but Leipold just wins. Everywhere and always. In defense of Chryst, the guy was always authentic. I'll miss him as HC. He didn't win enough big games to be remembered long term, but he won a ton of football games, and his former players have been very positive about the guy as well. He deserves to take a year off to figure out if he still wants to coach, and if he does, he deserves a big job somewhere else. Because of all that, I never thought we'd fire him. Glad we recognized that he had checked out and did it. Less glad that the timing puts pressure on the staff to make Leonard the long term HC, when the problem is and has been on the offensive side of the ball for a while now. I'd much rather gamble that we can bring in a DC to keep the 3-4 system going than trust Leonard to bring in an OC who fixes our OL, helps us develop QBs, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t happen to have a line that can get push to average 5-7 YPC we have no other option to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hope Leonhard takes the job and runs with it, I refuse to have to root for a Whitewater turd as our coach. This is also a big audition for Engram. I'm sure this offense is his and his alone now. Is he a worthy OC long-term?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe we were 3-5, we won one by like 17 and they beat us once by 17 and then the rest were decided by 3 points or less, some really great games. He's just a "kiss the rings" recruiter, or at least he was. Used the BS "you'll start here" and "don't go there, you don't fit their scheme" tactics a lot too. Mad respect for turning around some D1 schools though, no easy feat. I'll just always think of him as the enemy lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
