Want Jim Leonhard as the new DC of LSU

Yup.

Would be awesome.

I would definitely put the offer out there.

He won’t leave

Would put out feelers knowing he's destined to stay there, much like what a&m just did with Raymond.

He’s taking those 3 star farm boys and turning them into a wrecking machine on defense,

In case anyone doubts this, since 2016 Wisconsin has, in total, 9 players ranked 4 * or higher. Only one of which is a 5 *. 2019 had them with 1 5* & 2 4* with only 19 total commits. This was their highest ranked recruiting season and the second highest tor]tal commits. In that time frame they have not had a 25 player recruiting class, 22 being the highest. Not sure if that’s due to lack of attrition if they hand out scholarships to walk ons, etc. considering their performance over the last several years, I’d say the whole coaching staff are overachievers.

To contrast, LSU had 11 4* and 3 5* players just in 2019. Alabama was 23 4* & 3 5* in 2019 with only 1 3*. Michigan was 14 4* & 2 5* in 2019.

Total defense is an outdated stat to gauge how good a defense is. Points per play and yards per play are much better. Wisconsin was 12th and 6th respectively, which is still really good.

I think he only leaves Wisky for a Pro DC job or a HC job.

Leonhard is the Lincoln Riley of defense

He won't come here but I wouldn't be opposed to making him say no

He's a good coach

Imagine how pissed the fans at Wisconsin would be if we plucked the 2nd great DC in a row from them?

if he did not go coach with the nicktator he ain't coming here
