duey Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20051216/1057240.asp I think this is a great move for this team. He was an offensive assistant while at Nebraska, inlcuding their QB coach, and this will hopefully translate into the development of the UB offense. Plus, he is a nationally known name who apparently has a strong recruiting background. Well done UB...well done! And kudos for getting this done so quickly.
The Poojer Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I saw it scroll on ESPN, nearly pooped my drawers when I read "....Buffalo Hires former Nebraska QB and Assistant Coach Turner Gill as Head Coach..." I failed to see the NCAAF that preceded the scroll.... http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20051216/1057240.asp I think this is a great move for this team.

duey Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 The good news...the hiring makes ESPN.com's front page. http://espn.go.com/ The bad news...the program gets dissed at the same time. (see Good Call?) Can't say the criticism is unfair. Let's hope he can bring the program up to a respectable level.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Turner Gill will bring some cred to the program. The MAC has lost one of its punching bags. In 3 years I bet no one will want to face UB. PTR
LabattBlue Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 For those who may be interested, here is a link to the press conference with Ward Manuel(new AD) and Turner Gill... http://stream.buffalo.edu/insecure/shared/...ill_Presser.wmv They tried an asst. from a big time progam(Craig Cirbus) and a HC from Div 1-AA(Jim Hofher) who both failed. Now they turn to a coach without HC or coordinator experience. Who knows how it will work out.....a few years back UB gave the basketball job to a relative unknown even here in WNY and look how that turned out.
