This would be weird to consider. Everywhere you're a playcalling DC you'll catch the blame for that end of half debacle. It was a bad situation. MLF can jump in front of it all he wants, fans and talking heads are obviously going yo blame Pett and King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Leonhard care about that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Maybe its just agent posturing to get the best contract he can for Leonhard. Edited February 5, 2021 by Chili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Another consideration with Leonhard is how Pettine went out. Leonhard played for Pettine and could be wary of the blame Pettine got for end of first half vs. Bucs. Maybe why LaFleur has been out front on this taking the blame for what happened since firing Pettine. Tom Silverstein //// Silverstein's just making this stuff up at this point. Pettine should be blamed for the lousy scheme call at the end of the first half. He's lucky Gregg Williams pulled his stunt against Oakland earlier this year or else Pettine would be favorite to win the ESPY for worst defensive play call of the year.

He makes a fraction of what he'd make as an NFL DC. ya this is pure conjecture from Silverstein. If he wasn't willing to leave Wisconsin, he wouldn't be interviewing with GB.

Probably the easiest way to get a raise from your current employer is to be sought after by another organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UW has limits on how much they can pay assistant coaches. The SEC pays way more because they don't have those limits. Coaches have left just for that reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like state schools... they have a certain limit for positions to be paid as they are state/public schools. Like it was a big deal years back when UCLA (state school) paid Mora Jr. because at the time he was like the highest paid state employee. But private schools like say a USC or Stanford can pay whatever they want. I guess however much the donors will allow.

jleisher Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 You know what funny about this? Last year and the year before I put Leonhard in as my new DC on some of my mocks. I got, why would he leave college for less $ in the NFL. Well, here we are with a good chance that he will be our new DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat&Beer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Quote Zach Kruse @zachkruse2 · 2m "Leonhard, in the minds of numerous sources with interest in the search, is the frontrunner and may have been offered the job."
