"High risk, high reward: UB football's new head coach Leipold shows promise"
Dec. 2, 2014Art by Amber Sliter UB?s new head football coach won?t be leaving his current team behind quite yet ? Lance Leipold?s Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks are on a 27-game winning streak in the midst of Division-III playoffs. ?Division-III? might raise some eyebrows ? UB is a Division-I school and staunchly proud of it ? but Leipold isn?t just any D-III coach. He was the fastest college football coach to reach 100 wins at any level, and in his eight seasons in Wisconsin coached his team to an impressive 106-6 record. Considering UB would be thrilled with just breaking .500 ? much less earning the 12-0 record held by Leipold?s Warhawks this year ? this is an exciting hire. It?s undoubtedly a bold move by Athletic Director Danny White, and one that strays from his tendency to bring in big-name coaches like basketball coach Bobby Hurley.
