Buffalo's Director of football operations, Paul Bittar, was assigned other duties within the Buffalo athletic department last month and the Bulls have now hired a new face to take over football operations.
Luke Groth was the director of football operations and on-campus recruiting at South Dakota, and before that worked at.... you guessed it... Wisconsin White Water.
Groth has held the DFO title at the University of South Dakota since 2012. But for two years before that he was at DIII Wisconsin-Whitewater as their Director of Football Operations and assistant to the Athletic Director. This is another Leipold overlap hire so Groth does have some DIII national titles on his resume.
