Then they hire him back and they suck on defense. Would be hilarious to watch if USC wins the Natty.

Yeah basically got demoted when Bobby's brother came back to be the DC. So then he went to Clemson.

It was really hard to imagine OU staying at that top level. New scheme on offense AND defense and Lincoln Riley knows what he is doing. Their offense blows and their defense can't do enough.

"Paul Chryst is a close friend. I've known Paul since his late father tried to recruit me to Wisconsin-Platteville. That's a good family, a good man," Leipold said. "That's a guy who averaged nine wins a year and got let go. But you know, that's a part of what we signed up for these days. It's a changing world in a lot of different ways and that's unfortunate."And I'm not questioning anyone's decision because there's a lot of factors that go into these [firings] that nobody really knows," Leipold added, "but that's me speaking as a person and as a fan, not as a coach."

The "he got fired despite averaging 9 wins a season" is not lost on a coach like Leipold, who is being hailed as a hero at a program for winning FIVE games in a season so far. Why risk taking a job where anything less than double digit wins is seen as a failure?!? So you can be closer to the city where you were born 50+ years ago? Nah.

That quote was very telling.

It felt like it. I think if KU gets through the Huskers and Wiscy jobs getting filled and don't lose Leipold then we may get to keep Leipold for a good long time.
