Wyoming pilfered a MAC school for its new offensive line coach last month. This past week, another MAC school turned to that ousted Cowboys assistant to fill a hole in its coaching staff.
Buffalo confirmed Friday that Lance Leipold has tapped Scott Fuchs as his new line coach on the offensive side of the ball. There is a previous working relationship between the two as Fuchs and Leipold were on the same Nebraska-Omaha staff for three seasons in the mid-aughts (2004-06).
The past five seasons, Fuchs had served as the line coach at Wyoming.
In addition to Fuchs’ hiring, Leipold also announced a couple of other tweaks to his staff.
Brian Borland will move from coaching safeties to coaching cornerbacks. Taiwo Onatolu will now coach defensive ends and special teams after coaching cornerbacks over the last three seasons. Chris Simpson has added defensive run game coordinator to his duties as linebackers coach.
