Turner Gill

[OregonSmock]

From the bleacher report:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/332706-new-college-football-hires-top-10-list#page/11


1. Turner Gill (Kansas)

Before taking over at the University of Buffalo, Turner Gill was the quarterbacks coach at the University of Nebraska, coaching Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch as well as Tommie Frazier.

Not only was Gill a coach at Nebraska, he was also courted heavily by the school out of Arlington Heights High School in Forth Worth, TX. Nebraska beat out Texas as well as Oklahoma because Nebraska allowed Gill to not only play football but baseball as well.

During Gill's coaching tenure, the Cornhuskers won three national championships.

Gill interviewed for the head coaching job at the University of Auburn— losing out to Gene Chizik—in a move that was highly criticized by ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach. "More than anything else, the Tigers needed to do something to sway some of the momentum away from Tuscaloosa," Schlabach noted.

Instead, Auburn hired a coach who seemed to be a dead man walking at Iowa State. In recent weeks, Chizik demoted both his coordinators and fired two assistant coaches. "That's not a sign of stability." - Mark Schlabach

Gill looks to bring the Jayhawks back into the thick of things in the Big XII conference, especially after they won five straight to open the 2009 season, then dropped their final seven to finish the season 5-7.

No, I'm sure he'll do great.  You're right!

[Johnny Wichita]

This article fails to mention his close relationship with Jebus which is most likely directly responsible for his one winning season. 

[mcmwcat]

if TG can't out-recruit and destroy OB in less than 3 years he should be fired.

[JMart]

As of last week, he hadn't contacted Butler yet. 

[cas4ksu]

That and TG prays/fasts with beef consemme, instead of tomato soup like the church of Butler does.  Seems like a small issue but it is like the sunni and shia diference in the muslim faith.

If Gill ends up being Ron Prince v2.0, I'll be the first to give you guys credit.  I just don't see what's not to like.  If you're really basing everything on his coaching record at Buffalo, then you don't understand how bad Buffalo was when Gill took over that program.

Everything you ever say about sports, the exact opposite happens.  It's uncanny.  You couldn't be more inaccurate if you did it intentionally.  So, yeah.  Keep saying he will be awesome.

There are not many examples of a mediocre @ low/mid-major to awesome @ BCS.

I'll say one thing for Gill:  He's got a good agent.

Now he just has to watch out for the types for a couple of years and he's home free.
