gill to be ku head coach

[Pett]

17 Seniors starting for the Buffalo football team this past season, all while playing in the mid-american conference, and no bowl? What? How?

[kstatefreak42]

Turner Gill.  Welcome to the  nation! uk just went from Mediocre to crapty.. Terrible choice.

[Rick Daris]

***new information alert***

ku moved quickly w/ gill within the last 24 hours because sumlin turned cincinatti down and then cincinatti quickly turned their attention to gill. ku didn't want to lose gill to cincinatti. thus the quick contract and the signing of it. lol.

cincinatti head football coaching job > ku head football coaching job

Don't understand why it's a terrible hire.  Seems pretty good to me.  Buffalo was the worst program in the country when Turner took the job.

Out of curiousity, if a coach took over the worst football program in the country and his first four seasons went as follows:
1-10
5-6
7-4
5-6

How would you evaluate their performance -- great / good / fair / poor.  Would this person be deserving of being the head coach of a BCS conference team?

he's from a crapty school. Just because he had ONE, ONE!!! mediocre season everyone thought he was a genius, but he proved the year after it was a fluke. season. I just dont see why you would want him?

[NEKS-Cat]

 


Is there any question that the ku star and Lew were pumping a little sunshine regarding interest from other potential coaches?  No way they would hire Gill if some of the other names were interested.   Nothing against Gill, but no way if TT/JH were really interested.

[Leyton]

No way TT was really interested?  I dunno...sure sounded like he was in the KC Star article.  You'd have to be crazy to pass on Tubs, though, wouldn't you?

FYI those numbers I posted aren't Gill's, but for a different coach.  Mystery Coach took over a program as bad as Buffalo and those are his results after his first 4 years.  Tell me, would you say this mystery coach is any good, based on those numbers?

Mystery coach is clearly terrible and would never belong on this side of Kansas.

And he looks like some kind of half-human half-turtle monstrosity

I see what you did there

[KSUTOMMY]

Me thinks uk will regret this hire over tubd, if in fact he was actually interested
 However, I wouldve taken Gill over Prince... at least he does have some kind of HC experience

[slucat]

Love it!   

[Catfanatic]

Hey Sux4hypeman if gill is so good then why didn't you guys hire him instead of pelini? Nice lying pic too, where is the 2003 big 12 trophy in your pic? You guys only have one more big 12 champ trophy than we do so don't go there

[Johnny Haysville]

lol

The relevance is simply the failure of Mr. Gill to, as your kind say, "Git r done".   Regardless if it's against the University of Miami in 1984 or against the University of Texas in 2009.  Your relevance is simply disappearing.  And it makes me happy.  No worries! We really do love you!!!

[Pett]

Man, how tough for ku, Mangino was just starting to dominate in the recruiting world and now they hire Turner "Five commitments in the 2010 class" Gill...

Failure Awaits.

[kstatefreak42]

Compare Snyders turn-around at kstate, to Gill's. my friend honestly thinks Gill did a better "turn around job" than snyder did

[Leyton]

Gill is a fantastic hire for ku, IMO (particularly with the experience coordinators he's supposedly bringing in).  Just a big step down in the name-recognition category when Harbaugh seemed like a distinct possibility and Tommy Tuberville was begging for consideration.

Just amazing that sooooo many ku fans are upset about this hire.  Given the recent history of their football program, that's pretty rich.

Note that the URL has "sigmapi" in it, which is a fraternity at K-State. Thus, it's clearly some crapty fraternity's trophy room. You're a dumbass.

[McLovin]

Judging by how these coaching transitions go, I doubt that Tubs was truly all that interested in ku, regardless of what he told the Star.  Was probably just throwing his name out there to see if he could get any feelers from other schools. 

In that same vein, I'm guessing someone in ku AD office leaked the Harbaugh stuff to speed up the process with Gill.

Nothing is what it seems when it comes to coach searches.  Except when Weefer is involved and it is all fracked up, then it is exactly what it seems.

Pretty sure Tubs was really interested his  name isn't getting brought up for any jobs.   He's mid 50's and going on his second year of not working.  I'm sure he'd take any BCS job he could get and might end up settling for a non BCS job. 

Also pretty sure that ku went after Harbaugh and had Gill as a back up plan.  Lew wanted to make a big splash and Harbaugh was his first choice.   As soon as Harbaugh turned it down they went right to Gill.
