Interesting hire. It will be fascinating to see if he can translate extraordinary D-III success to the FBS level.

It's like UB saw Miami hire Martin (who went 74-7 in DII) and said "let's do that times five." I like it. It's also a very early hire so he should be able to get his feet wet in Buffalo more quickly than the average new hire.

Very big risk hire. Not the direction I was expecting we'd go, but his success at that level is undeniable. We better have a good recruiter on staff.

I didn't like the Bobby Hurley hire when I first heard about it, so I'll give Danny White the benefit of the doubt this time.

I would have been gung ho on this hire, until someone explained to me that UWWW was a 12K population school competing against schools w/ 2K...and stricter academics.

It's a calculated risk that could pay off for Buffalo. But it is certainly no guarantee.

My feelings exactly with everything you said! Hope this works out and that his success will translate to UB as well.

Do we really want a coach who's first move is to hire Rob Ianello?

He will stay with WW until their season ends... So not as soon as you would think.

go into your profile and click "edit options", from there on the right you'll see "thread view options" with several boxes checked, uncheck the box that says "display users signatures in their posts" and click "update options" at the bottom. It makes reading through the posts much easier.

RE: Buffalo hiring UW-Whitewater Lance Leipold as new head coach
We'll see how Leipold does at Buffalo - When Jim Corrigall was out at Kent State after 1997, how successful could Kent State have been if they would have hired Larry Kehres instead of Dean Pees? His record at that point was 124-16-2. He was 28 games into a 54-game winning streak. Over the next 10 years at Mount Union, he'd go 136-5 with a 55-game winning streak.

I don't expect Leipold to burn up D1 like he's done D3. He'll probably pull up the Bulls a notch or two, but the Athletic programs at Wisconsin-Whitewater relative to D3 and Buffalo relative to D1 are at much different levels

It's not obvious that the move will work, even though I had long hoped Kehres would move to the MAC.

One reason is this, coaches at lower Div schools suddenly have access to better players than they usually get, and they get stars in their eyes. So they find it's fairly easy to get players who are 1-3 notches better than they're used to and they find recruiting is "easy".

But then it turns out in order to be a highly competitive team, they need players who are 5 notches above what they're used to, and it's harder for everyone to get those scarce players. And they flounder w/ their early recruits, and it's hard to gain traction.

The Stagg party is December 19th, so that's the longest Leipold will be tied up. I'm guessing they're upset this weekend.
