Lance Leipold is the new football coach at Kansas.
The Jayhawks announced Friday morning that the former Buffalo head coach has agreed to a deal to take over at Kansas. Salary details aren’t known at this time. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Leipold was hired following Kansas showing Les Miles the exit.

I like this hire a ton for Kansas. The only guy I probably would have liked more was Army Coach Jeff Monken.
Leipold got his start as a head coach in D.III at UW-Whitewater where he won multiple national titles. That catapulted him to Buffalo, where he’s had a very solid amount of success for a G5 coach.
Now, he’ll be tasked with taking arguably the worst football team in the P5, and finding a way to win in the Big 12.
To say that he has his work cut out for him would be one hell of an understatement.

Having said that, he has a track record of success, and it’s bold hire that I can get behind. Today is a great day if you’re a Kansas football fan.
