That's what Tom S says. He may be right, he may be wrong, but I think his sources are former McCartney staffers

So people working at Golden Corral are giving him tips?

Correct when TT/MM left he lost all his inside folks..... big grain of salt with Tom, Jason W and a couple more.

2. Kris Kocurek, Niners DL coach

He is an up-and-comer and has had a lot of input in SF, surprised Saleh didn't nab him. Has not called a defense but that wouldn't be a big deal in this case.

did ml ever even look at this guy?

Didn’t hear his name mentioned.

I was curious to find out more

A friend told me that Leonard was offered the Illinois HC job and also the LAR’s DC job.
I must have missed that somehow!

He's been offered DC jobs before at both levels and turned them all down. We should know something by Monday if not sooner on this job.

He may love the UW gig and probably HC in waiting if PC ever steps down?

That would be my thought... his family loves Madison and he's making decent $. If things go South in GB he could be out in 2-3 years but at UW he could be there a decade or longer. Stability over short-term gain but who knows for a Wisconsin kid that's a tough choice.

Something of the Pat Fitzgerald in him, or Kirk Firentz. Dipping the toe into the NFL waters every now and then but at the end of the day he’s got such stability now and a clear path forward, would be hard to turn that down for the uncertainty and high stress of the NFL. I don’t know why ANY of these long term program guys leave their NCAA jobs, seems like such a great gig.
