Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4750231, member: 1559"] Buffalo gave Leipold, a D3 coach a chance and nobody else did. Great hire, but how can Buffalo be our comp? One winning season from 1997 to 2012 and 5 winning seasons from 2013 to 2022 and 11-18 since he left. And, they play a much easier schedule. They play 1 P5 school per year. UConn is playing 3 to 4. Al Golden turned around Temple and Rhule was a great hire. people forget how Golden did it. His first year, he played 5 BCS schools and lost 62-0, 62-0, 43-14, 63-9, and 47-0. His first winning season, he played 1 P5 school (lost 31-6), lost to FCS Villanova., and lost the bowl to a BCS school. He was 0-11 against BCS schools with a total score of 448-79. They dumbed down the schedule to get wins and build the program. It's a strategy, but does UConn want to go that route? [/QUOTE]
