Bulls on Parade: Six Buffalo players follow Leipold and assistants to Kansas

There haven’t been too many positives for the Kansas Jayhawks football program in the last decade. But the program which has experienced 12 consecutive losing seasons is now gaining a horde of personnel from a 2020 Top 25 finisher.

Former Buffalo head coach Lance Leipold departed for Kansas on April 30, and the lingering effects from Leipold’s decision can still be felt in Upstate New York. First, while overhauling its staff, Kansas hired five former Buffalo assistants to continue working under Leipold. Offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, defensive coordinator Brian Borland, offensive line coach Scott Fuchs, linebackers coach Chris Simpson, and quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski are among the staff headed to the plains of Lawrence, KS.
