fantastic hire, by the hawks.

[jaloma58]

lolz. 20-30 in the Mid American Conference.

BCA interview.

Can you say "colored" anymore?    I am going to have to ask Jeff about that this weekend.

[WildcatNkilt]

50/50 says he'll take it.

How much would it suck to have Gil as your head coach?

1.) You'd be an average team that struggles with MAC competition.
2.) You'd have the BCA folks breathing down your neck all the fracking time.
3.) Guy takes like 40 interviews a year, regardless of circumstance.  If he somehow won more than usual, you'd be all   he's going to leave.
4.) He's a Nubb.

I see no upside here.  Good move for the 'hawks, though.  

[Pike]

Please hire Gill. PLEASE

[Wildcat Dynasty]

I see it as a lose lose for the beakers. He fails, you lose. He succeeds and then NU will target him to be the replacement for that drunken tard they call a head coach, you lose and he goes home.

Might as well score Coach Fran now.

Buffalo was the 1950-1996 version of K-State till Gill showed up. They took your place as the worst football team in college football.
You think the Little Rat can turn a program around, Gill will be doing K-State and Nebraska in the butt for years to come.
Hope he doesn't get the job for your sake.

   No, no acknowledgment until today!  (OK, my first post could have been worded better.)

[Miracle Whip]

First, it is only a interview. 

Second, T. Gill would be considered a good hire.

Gill's record at Buffalo isn't that good, but not many coaches if any would not succeed there at a high level.  Yes, he did go 5-7 this year but keep in mind he lost his QB and RB from last years 8 win team and Buffalo isn't really a place where you can just reload.

Gill was passed on twice by NU but understand the first time was for an NFL coach (Callahan) where I don't blame NU for going that route over Gill with much less HC experience.  The 2nd time Tom O. wanted to get back to their "black shirt" ways, so they went with a defensive minded coach.  I don't see a whole lot of negative on Gill.  But no I'm not delusional, thinking like he is a Grand Slam hire.  A good one, yes he would be.

My dad says it, but he is 81.  I try to correct him, but...

Saying 'colored' is not PC, but much, much better than the 'N' word.  The NAACP does still use 'colored' in their logo:



And while I would not say 'colored' , the phrase 'people of color' is in common use today.

You may call me 'Liberal' for saying this, but I agree with Martin Luther King, Jr.:  "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

I love how you assume he can "reload" and "succeed at a high level" at uk when no other coach has been able to do that.  I guess you guys can blame his lack of success last year on the fact that he lost his QB and RB from this year's stellar squad.

Geez, what is wrong with your guys reading comprehension skills.  I wasn't implying anything to "reloading" or "succeeding at a high level" at ku.  Just making valid points about Gill's current situation.

Agreed....and "Liberal" is not a pejorative in my book.  

[PCR]

Black college graduates are 2x as unemployed as their white counterparts in the current recession.  (racism is over obviously)  Maybe ku should call a guy just sitting his couch, would be cheaper.  

FWIW I'd probably hire Fran if I were Lew and couldn't convince GPat to ditch his tcu gig.  Charlie Weis is available too, but I hear he's going to require the school to supply a mistress in his contract.

He is a guy with excellent character.

He is still looked at as a football star in the DFW area and will be able to recruit in Texas.

He has experience coaching in the NFL (fairly appealing to recruits)

He is an above average in game coach.

Things that don't make this a "great" hire:

Not a defensive minded coach (ku has struggled in this area)

Has not had a high level of success coaching in college.

Not a HUGE name that many people would like.

So let me get this straight:  You think Gill will take you guys to the BCS next season

You and I both know that ku is the leading candidate to win the title next and when I say title I mean the National Championship and when I say National Championship I mean that we will go on to play the Super Bowl Champs and when I say we'll go on to play the Super Bowl Champs I mean that we'll probably have multiple Heisman Trophy winners in ONE year..  We don't even have a coach either.  

[EllToPay]

omg, consider this thread bookmarked.

pretty good hire for the "hawks", congrats "hawks"
