Jim Leonhard leaving Wisconsin

He had the perfect setup when Chryst was coach because he let him treat it like a 9 to 5. He’s not getting that under Fickell.

Have you ever looked at a NFL coaches daily schedule? They might get some more down time in the off-season not having to recruit, but its a grind as well

More short term too. It seems the life span for a coach at one job is 3 years
Certain coaches took it to extremes. Vince Lombardi didn't speak with his family and Joe Gibbs outright held meetings till 3 am and slept there on numerous occasions.

As good of a DC as there is in college football.

However, I understand it wasn't the right time, right place for Jim Leonhard and Wisconsin.

I can't help but think there are plenty of G5 head coaching jobs he can go to to get his sea legs for a bigger job. I don't think Wisconsin made a mistake by passing on him...they needed something different even if Leonhard was a good coordinator candidate. He can get a gig in the NFL, too, I'm sure as a coordinator.
