Lance Leipold headed to Kansas. Glad to have him out of the MAC and funny that Kansas keeps taking Buffalo coaches.

That is funny. Unless you are killing it in the MAC (a la Urban Meyer and can hold out), I think you have to take the money. He was 37-33 (with 2 MAC division championships) and there is no guarantee of success. If he has one so-so year, the shine wears off a bit and no one is talking abou thim. At Kansas, he gets 6 years of big time money. If he flames out, he'll back to a g5 school.
At Kansas, you schedule the worst FBS teams you can, win them, win an FCS and you need 3 conference wins for a bowl game. Easy, right?

To be fair, he did go 109-6 at Wisconsin-Whitewater.

Guessing there’s not a great deal of interest in the Kansas job amongst the power5 level coaches. So back to the MAC they go to fill the job. That’s a coach killing program.

Be interesting when figures come out. I would assume Les Miles commanded a premium to come to Kansas. They guy before that started out at $800,000 but won a few games and it was increased to $1.6M. That would be 3-4 years ago. So it would be somewhere between $1.6M and $3.45M? I think you take that.
To each their own but if you say I want $600,000 with a possibility earning more at a future time or likely triple that amount at the next job, I don't see a problem here.

So the take a way is then let’s all remember this when/if Mike is lured away sometime! I'd rather lose him that way as opposed to fire him because hes underperforming. Obviously 2020 will buy him ample time regardless, as it should given how special that strange season was.

If you have confidence in your coaching abilities, I think a dynamic young coach might be better off to wait a couple more years contend for another MAC championship and walk into a better situation. Every few years there are coaches that leave programs that are not complete coaching graveyards and the money could even be better. If a program has only the salary that is attractive that pig has way too much make up on.

A MAC coach gets a chance to triple his salary I think they will leave every time no matter who is returning & how bad the P5 program is. I could be wrong but show me a prior example in football.
