YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He’s done a fantastic job at Wisky. Big 10 fans would be glad to see him go to the nfl! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 if he's successful...which I suspect he will be...he will be a head coach in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He was always touted as being very knowledgeable about the game as a player. The story was he made up for less than all world athletic ability by using his smarts to break down tendencies and plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jim Leonard taught teammates the scheme while he was on the field. I remember George Wilson saying he owed a lot to him. Not surprising that he’s thriving as a DC, perhaps he’d even do a better job than Frazier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jim Leonhard was an underrated DB who was able to call coverages at the drop of a hat based on what the OC was doing. He's done good work as DC at Wisconsin. He'll be a good get for the Pack. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He was a good player and has been a successful coach so far. I expect Leonhard to continue to succeed and would not be surprised for him to climb the ladder and someday be a good head coach. He's a very smart guy, seems to have a great work ethic, plus has the playing experience (college and NFL) that will command respect with the players.

Man with No Name Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He is going to be a stud. I know we've talked about this here before. IT seems he was basically a D-Coordinator on all of Rex and Pettine's teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somnus00 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jim Leonhard is the type of former player that tends to make a good coach. He's a guy that succeeded on hard work and brains. He was never the most athletic guy. But he had smarts, instinct, and tenacity. I wish him well until he plays the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 He was a bright light on a poorly staffed Bills team. I hope he does well whether that is in college or the pros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Jim Leonhard should win the Nobel peace prize for his contributions to football. Just an all-time great human being.
