The next pairing in the round of 16 - a head coach moving up to D1 and a young DC.
Knockout Round 2
Lance Leipold, Buffalo, Head Coach
Would a coach leave a MAC school after one year to get a shot in the Big Ten? That would be the situation with the Bulls' Leipold.
The 51-year old Leipold is making the jump from D3 to D1, granted at G5 school. But his history is astounding and worth a long, hard look. In eight seasons, the guy went 109-6 and won six national titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater.
