Kansas’s Lance Leipold Addresses Nebraska, Wisconsin Job Openings

Kansas is usually synonymous with basketball, but it’s the Jayhawks football team that has been surprisingly in the spotlight this fall.

Off to a 5-1 start, and its only loss coming in a close 38-31 contest against ranked Big 12 rival TCU, Kansas has raised its profile thanks in part to coach Lance Leipold.

And when a coach finds success with an unsuspecting program, the coaching rumors ramp up.

Sports Illustrated asked the 58-year-old Leipold how he handles being linked to other head coaching openings in the sport, which currently include Nebraska, Wisconsin and Arizona State.
