The Bulls will introduce former Wisconsin-Whitewater coach Lance Leipold as coach on Monday. Leipold has had great success at Whitewater over the past eight seasons. In 112 games, Leipold's teams are 106-6 including 12-0 this season.
Whitewater has won four of the last five and five of the last seven Division III championships.
Buffalo head coach Jeff Quinn was fired in October after the Bulls were 3-4. Buffalo finished the year 5-6 after beating UMass in its final game of the season. The Bulls played 11 games instead of 12 because of the massive snowstorm that hit Buffalo the week before Thanksgiving. After attempting to play against Kent State twice, the game was ultimately canceled.
Alex Wood, the offensive coordinator under Quinn, served as the team's interim coach.
Leipold, 50, played quarterback at Whitewater. Before becoming Whitewater's head coach he served as an assistant for Nebraska from 2001-2003 and an associate head coach and offensive coordinator for Nebraska-Omaha for three seasons.
