Gill deserves the same chance we gave Mangino. However, after reading numerous posts on GroupThink.net, it's apparent that our fanbase won't give Gill the same opportunity. Honestly, I hate around 50% of KU fans.

Do they have to buy him out or just pay him his salary over the time he's supposed to be there coaching? Meaning the actual cost would really only be like giving him a raise of whatever amount the salary of the shitty coach they hire would be.
Do they understand that the KU AD is a huge KSU fan and won't exactly hire a homerun for a school he is basically hoping to leave for KSU as soon as possible?

No way he wrote it with good intentions.

QuoteHonestly, I hate around 50% of KU fans. Finally, something I can agree with moonbeams on.
That % seems a little low. I hate probably 75% of KSU's fanbase.

Not so with a loss to Kansas State. Those losses sting all year long because, around here, KU fans are neighbors with K-Staters and work for Wildcats. Losing to the purple people is personal for KU fans, not just because they’re so emotionally invested in the rivalry but also because the ramifications of a rough outing actually affect their daily lives.

Absolutely. And John Currie won't take a job unless he views it as a life long destination. Zenger pined for this gig and settled on yours. Fact.

That’s not me announcing some grass roots campaign to get rid of the guy or even suggesting that he should go. It’s closer to being a fact than anything else, and that’s the scary part. Thinly veiled threats of violence against Turner just keep pouring out of the racist cesspool that is Lawrence, KS. I'm hoping he can make it out of that town in one piece
