The move clears the way to give favorite son Jim Leonhard a full audition running the Badgers program, and that&#8217;s why The Athletic has heard the coaching change was made now.<\/p>\n<p>Leonhard receives seven regular-season games and probably a bowl game to make his case to keep the job.  He&#8217;s been a fantastic defensive coordinator and has turned down significant money to stay in Madison.  His seven-game stint does n&#8217;t feature a single ranked opponent at this time.  The hunch here is he&#8217;ll have a very, very good chance to prove he deserves the job.  Going 5-2 or better, and showing he can spark the offense, likely would seem good enough.<\/p>\n<p>But if Leonhard doesn&#8217;t end up with job, things will get very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Lance Leipold, head coach, Kansas<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Nebraska fan, you should probably root for the Badgers to go on a roll and win out, aside from the Nov.  19 games in Lincoln.  The reason: One of the Cornhuskers&#8217; top targets we hear, Kansas&#8217; Lance Leipold, is a Wisconsin native who won six Division III national titles in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Would Leipold, a former Nebraska assistant, opt for Nebraska over Wisconsin?  We&#8217;re not so sure of that, but if Leonhard does well, it might become a moot point.  Regardless, Leipold&#8217;s stock is soaring right now after the remarkable turnaround he&#8217;s done at Kansas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n        fbq('init', '207679059578897');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a move that seemed to sneak up almost out of nowhere given Paul Chryst&#8217;s record entering this season, Wisconsin fired the longtime head coach despite Chryst&#8217;s 67-26 record.
