Ah ok, that makes some sense.
I think Leipold is happy at KU. I hope he has. I have adopted them as my 2nd team. Mostly because my wife is an alum there and their proximity to me and their hatred for Kansas State.

They're set up really well. Expectations are manageable. You can recruit most of the area between the coasts. Donor support is fantastic.
He's in statue territory there imo

Did he just take Bo Pelini’s post-tOSU rant and ask Chat GPT to sanitize the language?

He also asked ChatGPT how many natties he has before making it

I'm afraid of wherever Fitz resurfaces his HC career.

His schtick doesn't work anywhere. But it does produce wins at a surprising rate.

He's a good, maybe great football coach. Just also happens to be a huge spazz
And his schtick has actually been pretty successful here. Its a bad brand in a pretty competitive sports market. Before he arrived wisconsin had more market share in msp and ndsu was a really close third

He and Rhule seem to be pretty similar in a lot of ways with culture building, desiring physicality in their teams, demanding a shit ton from their players and assistants and using some rah rah motivation. It also bleeds into both of them wanting to be very public facing.
Fleck is just the cringier version that lacks self awareness at times. Apparently even the cringy version has some effectiveness.

There is a salesman aspect to the role now that makes their relative styles successful at this level, but you’re spot on about Fleckerhead being cringy.
Even at his most over the top, Rhule typically comes of as pretty genuine. Fleck always seems to be overacting in a bad B rate movie about football.
Edit: The first time I saw him first hand was with my youngest son in 2018. Frost’s first win and one and only win against Minnesota. Fleck is running up and down the sidelines like a retard on meth and my kid says ‘Who’s the ketchup and mustard colored moron?'
I snorted a little, but it was hilarious.

Hot dog being a metaphor for a homosexual encounter here, I assume.

Florida is gonna throw a lot money at someone. And I’m not sure they know who that’s gonna be yet. (just a gut impression) But they aren’t gonna fuck around money wise after 2 quick failures.

Does he have a 5* adopted son to bring with him?
