Why is a young position coach in the NFL, with no experience running his own D, more appealing than a very highly regarded and experienced college DC?
I won’t lie, I’d enjoy Leonhard as the coach more than some others because he is a Badger but that is not why I’d want him as the coach.
What I like about Leonhard is the flexibility in the system he runs and the aggressive nature of his teams. The fact that he got top ranked D’s with lower ranked and less heralded players is another reason I’d prefer him over other college DC’s from big time programs that get a bunch of 5 stars.
In the end, I’d be happy with many of the names floating around as the most important qualification is they are not named Joe Barry.
