OC/DC Thoughts?

That would be a serious Home Run hire. Leonard’s name is being talked about in NFL circles.
Purdue currently has Ron English and Mark Hagen as Co-DC's. We've been there, done that with English. I also see Garrick McGee is on Purdue's staff as WR coach. He's a former UofL assistant, too. This might sound strange to say since Brohm is coming home, but I hope he hires some new blood.
My first thought: offer Leonhard something like Associate Head Catch of Defense and Defensive Coordinator.
I'm all for being optimistic, but if Jim Leonhard had the option of being a HC at a P5 school, the Packers DC, or Louisville DC, it's literally be one of the most shocking hires ever if he went to UofL
Hire Will Stein from Oregon as OC it would be a great fit. With the Brohm’s and Stein running the offense that would be exciting.
Koz - the Brohm bros call the plays. Love Will Stein but this isn’t a thought.
DC Candidates
Doug Belk, Houston
Mike Tressel, Cincinnati (This would be HILARIOUS!)

Bryant Haines-JMU loved their aggressive approach.
Syracuse-Tony White similar scheme to what Brown ran.
Love to open those Florida lines back up recruiting. Don't know who might want to be here that has that footprint down there already.
I don’t want English, if that happens I am officially worried about defense.
Yeah how bout Clint Hurt ? That would be a home run IMO..
We could do a lot worse than Bryant Haines, James Madison’s Defensive Coordinator (as thecycle27 mentioned above) or Lance Guidry DC from Marshall.
Both can flat out coach defense.

I have started taking notice of Haines. I agree he could be a diamond in the rough.
I doubt he would be interested. He is currently the DC for the Seattle Seahawks.
If you believe the other site Hurrt was 1b as a head coach candidate. If that is the case no way he is coming to be a DC.
I get it but he fills the boxes of great D coach with Florida ties.
Tressel will likely have the Badgers sporting new cars as his father did in Columbus.
