Oh I guess I will shut up.  I was confused that this was a forum where you could post things saying your thoughts and even offering info that is going on but I must have been mistaken. 
I will be on the wagon at every game home and away but I guess to offer any more posts is what I can't do.  Who is the coaching staff at UWW?  Oh yes I do know that too but I will as I have been told....shut up.

I had told myself that i wouldn't reply anymore either on the subject of the UWW coach but it is my boggling to me some of the statements being made here.  First of all......guess what Brez had been telling Leipold for years that he was his choice for the next coach....for that matter Perk had told Leipold the same thing.....Leipold has recruited in this state for the Badgers, the Warhawks, UNO and the Huskers.  I think you would be amazed at the contacts he has out there.  Give the guy a chance.....something he did in those interviews was the right thing and something Z did was the wrong.  Did Leipold brown nose in the interviews...NO guess he even gave the biggest booster answers that he didn't want to hear.  Maybe Z needs to look in the mirror and see what is that caused him not to get the job if he was such a shoe in.  Anyone catch the Janesville Gazette article on what Beaver thought after meeting with the new coach?   I believe he said he did a 180 change in what he felt and that he couldn't wait to get back to work. 
If Z is such a wonderful coach and has such a great personality, he should have no problem getting a job then, huh?
Maybe some of you should know some of the things he has been saying and doing...Dinkel too for that matter.  Turning coaches against UWW and players against it will only hurt the program.  To anyone who doesn't want to be on the Warhawk wagon get off because we are going all the way.
You may ask....do I have my facts......darn right I do.

Thanks for the positive words on Leipold.  I know he is excited to take on this position and has been contacting ALL current coaches to keep them on board.  It is their choice then if they will stay...he is asking all to stay!

The news conference is open to the public and held at Williams Center.  Welcome home Coach Leipold and be sure to show them all what you can do.

No decisions have been made on any coaches even Z since the choice of coach is not announced until tomorrow.

L Leipold is a Warhawk through and through and has a longer history with the college than any of you can imagine.  Did you know that his father played basketball for the Warhawks in the late 50's or that his uncle was a great baseball player for the Warhawks??  Did you know that Leipold himself played baseball too at UWW??  Stop bashing a person unless you know their history and true loyalty to the UWW!  You will not find a person who bleeds more for that school than Leipold!

It is so sad to see how hard you are on Leipold who is one of your own a Warhawk.  I can't believe that you would treat an alum like this.  It is good that they didn't pick an outsider if this is how you treat a true Warhawk.

Okay, I have watched the posts on the UWW head football coach and all the bashing going on and assumptions.  I wanted to clear up a few things since I do know L Leipold.
First of all, he is not only a former Warhawk but he comes from a long line of UWW grads.  He is a third generation graduate of UWW.  His parents, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins all attended UWW.  He has his masters degree from there as well as many of his family members do.
He has a huge resume of coaching under some of the greats and you can see that for yourself.  His dream has always been this job and he has groomed himself for that.
As far as some of the strange and unbelievable rumors on this site....he is not friends with DLK's son....he never interacted with the AD before this interview process started....and maybe you should give the guy a chance prior to bashing him.
He has recruited in this state for UNO and for the Huskers in the last number of years and most coaches around know him and have great respect for him. 
Have your facts right prior to bashing someone and this is from a true source unlike all the rumors that have been out there.
Give him a chance and welcome back Coach Leipold.
