as 12th best coach in all of CFB. The article says career achievements are taken into account. but recent performance (wins, recruiting, working the transfer portal, hiring assistants, producing NFL Draft picks, etc.) is weighed much more heavily. Here's what is said about LL:
Leipold is widely considered college football’s miracle worker. He built a dynasty at Wisconsin-Whitewater, winning six D-III national championships. He then won a pair of MAC division titles at Buffalo, but his most impressive rebuild job is what he’s done at Kansas, taking over a moribund program that went 0-9 in 2020 and was 9-60 the prior six seasons to his arrival in 2021.
In Year 1, he beat Texas. In Year 2, he snapped Kansas’ long bowl drought, and last season he went 9-4 despite juggling multiple quarterbacks. Leipold coaches a fun, creative brand of offensive football, and while culture-builder is an overused term for most coaches, it isn’t for him.
There's your offseason sunshine, @Kbone !
