    Wittingham would be dope. His teams are stubborn as fuck, play defense. They have only lacked elite qbs and wrs, which I think he can access at UW.

    B1G membership would be a good selling point for him.

    Whittingham would be interesting. His teams are Pat Hill TUFF, and his style of ball would play well in the B1G. The problem is he’s 64, and who knows how much longer he wants to coach.

    If Florida sucks next year, which they probably will (insane schedule), then the AD is gone and so is Napier.

    And then Fisch is gone after one year.

    No.

    Yes yes yes

    My concern with hiring Leipold in a matter of days is that Dannen just said, “Find me someone who’s like DeBoer, quick.”

    Have you watched Kansas play at all? Dude can coach.
    not even once

    No doubt. But is he the best option? Can he recruit at the level we need to rebuild? How does he handle boosters? The roster is nowhere near as talented as DeBoer got it. Do we lose anything by waiting a week to make sure we have the right guy? This class is a throwaway and most of the talent that we wanted to keep is already in the portal.

    Leipold is 59. Carroll is 72. Just for context.

    I just want 8 years of stability. I feel like these older guys will stay until retirement. If UW needs to rebuild I want the coach who builds it to be here to coach the finished product and grow off that success.

    Thank you. I was just about to google Leipold’s age.

    What is stability? 7-9 wins?

    If they’re young, they’ll leave.
