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.

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....

For those who may be interested, here is a link to the press conference with Ward Manuel(new AD) and Turner Gill...

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.
