Jim Leonhard Listed on Hot Board for SEC Coaching Vacancy

Death, taxes, Wisconsin Badgers legend Jim Leonhard being mentioned for an open defensive coordinator job, and that school thinking they’re the best option for him to break back into the coaching world.

Being facetious aside, Missouri is the latest school that’s mentioned Leonhard as an outside candidate that media members feel would make sense to replace former defensive coordinator Blake Baker, who left to take the same gig at LSU this offseason.

Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has the program on the rise and is coming off an 11-win season in the SEC. Would Leonhard consider joining Missouri as a defensive coordinator after a year of working as an analyst at Illinois?
