He's his own man pursuing his own ambitions and is probably highly sought after. His decision potentially has very little to do with what Harbaugh did. lol it’s the complete opposite. He has no NFL ties except with the Ravens. If MacDonald gets a HC gig elsewhere (very likely), then maybe Minter succeeds him in Baltimore. That’s not exactly promised tho. They might promote from within. Taking the unknown route with a different franchise + coaching staff that he has no relationship with when he’s already got a fruitful one with Harbaugh that literally just resulted in a national championship together would certainly be a strange choice. Carving his own path will come soon enough if he can establish the Chargers as a legitimate defense again. Then the HC offers will come whether NFL or college. This is a layup for Minter.

You'd think there would be some back channels to gauge interest. With Leonhard passing up several opportunities it seems he's either happy doing what he's doing or he had a certain destination in mind. I think he will be our next DC if he wants it. Hopefully it's already in the works. Wouldn't that be something?! Northern Wisconsin small town boy who was a Wisconsin Badger a 3 time all American/all Big ten conference player. Went on to play 10 years in the NFL as an undrafted free agent. Became Wisconsin's D coordinator in 2017 .. from there to 2021 he had: 2 - #1 ranked defenses, a 5th, an 8th and a 41st in total defense. There's a lot to like .. young, aggressive, top ranked D's and Nfl experience. MLF could do much worse than him for his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When were they a legitimate defense in the past 10 years. They have always been offensive dependent and there is no guarantee they have enough talent on defense to become respectable. I do believe Minter winds up in San Diego, but it's no guarantee he can turn them into a respectable defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I'm feeling more and more like it's gonna be Leonhard and that's going to end well for us. @beekay414 @Packerraymond what, if anything, can we glean from Leonhards recent roles and what, of anything, should the takeaway be? Did he improve the defensive staff/team he joined? Also, why didn't he take a different coaching gig? Is he like a big on loyalty guy and didn't want to just do a year or two somewhere and is looking for a place to commit to longer?

He's the OC and odds-on favorite to get the Michigan gig. Those are the rumors around here. Sounds like MIchigan could announce Moore as soon as today.

He's on TV because they know he will say stupid ****, which he does on a weeiky basis. Also, look at where we were in the season when we was popping off, 2-4. He ate crow like so many of these bloviating, anti-Love dickheads, both on TV and on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it does, your comment was him being able to carve his own path in the NFL, IF he turns the Chargers into a good defense. IF he's smart, the odds are better in Green Bay, we have more talent on defense to work with. He's very likely to flame out in SD, because of the talent level. You can give me big names they have on defense, but most are on the way down from a career standpoint. The whole relationship deal is a bit overblown IMO. IF MLF is going to leave him alone to run his defense, that's all he needs. Having said all of this, I'd be shocked if he's not in SD with Harbaugh.
