OT: Leipold Has Gone Cold

[Knight Shift]

C'mon.. LL inherited Les Miles team. NIL has probably made teh better among them leave.. or that moved on. He will have his own recruits to rely on soon enough.. including now.

Link below shows they seem to have brought in more P5 talent than they lost to other P5 teams.. maybe it will take time to gel. This is probably going to be an every year thing.. wondering if the pluses and minuses amount to a plus or minus for the programs... for everyone.

On April 30, 2021, Leipold was hired at Kansas. He is on his fourth recruiting class. Never said is a bad coach, but is success at lower levels is not translating to the P5 so far.

Maybe it's a one ( big) step backwards before moving forward again.
Lance has had success at the lower level and was great at Wisconsin–Whitewater (109-6)
His time at Buffalo made some feel he was great because he made a fairly bad Bull team into a winner
( but it wasn't terrible having went 8-5 two years before Lance was hired)
I feel Leipold is a better HC than this year's Jayhawk team makes look to be, but he's not the world beater that many thought he was when he was hired .

So.. you're saying.. Less Miles last class.. with Covid years are super Seniors and RS Seniors? For all we know.. the core of LL's winning Kansas teams were chock full of Les miles recruits while LL's recruits played supporting roles.

Another loss tonight
2-6/1-4. Winning isn't easy.

To be fair his team hung tough against a ranked KSU Team. No winning was never easy, and now it is insanely costly.

 

[SkilletHead2]

Leipold has won 41% of his games at Kansas. Schiano 2.0 has won 42%.

Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Kansas at least seems to be competitive. There are a lot of schools where there isn't much margin for error. Kansas is one of them. So is Rutgers.

Kansas has lost 16 straight to Kansas State.

All 6 of their losses are by 1 score. Odds are you’d get a couple of those but nope it hasn’t fallen their way this year. Key mistakes still being made too, Daniels had a fumble at midfield leading to KSU’s game winning FG. This year is down the drain so next year we’ll see as every year is different. Daniels might be addition by subtraction as he’s not the same this year and maybe they change OC again.

Just look at Deion. He’s got Colorado bowl eligible in year 2. 6-2/4-1 and in B12 title contention but I’ll be surprised if they win it. Improved over last year but still some flaws. B12 is a wide open conference. BYU was picked for near last and they’re at the top and vice versa Ok St and Utah. So there’s opportunity for Kansas and Leipold to turn things and we’ll see.
