That was my gut response, but I don't think so.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 11:59 am I'm probably making too much of it, but it almost seems like Wiscy did a midseason firing to give themselves a shot at landing Lance over UNL.
If I'm Leipold, I'm pissed at the distraction midseason.
I think they want to audition Leonhard. Based on everything I've heard, he's been "the coach in waiting". Here's their chance to audition him. I hope they go 7-0 and hire Leonhard.
Liepold was an GA at Wisconsin for 2 years and an assistant at Nebraska for a couple...I don't think those necessarily make them "dream jobs" for him. I've had jobs at other universities and I don't "dream" of going back to all of them. I mean, yes, he was at Wisconsin-Whitewater....but that's not the same as Wisconsin. I went to KU...I have no desire to get a job at Kstate.
Has he said that either of those schools are his dream job...I know they're better programs and have more resources...but just having a connection doesn't mean you take the offer.
That said, the worst thing would be a bidding war between Nebraska and Wisconsin. We might be able to counter one offer, but less likely in some bidding war.
