redblooded Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I doubt he would come back to be a position coach... If anything it would be some sort of AD position. Not Necessarily. Turner is a coach, from what I understand that's what he wants to do first and foremost. I'd be willing to bet they'd always find a place for him in the AD though, if he wanted. Rumor is he has been in contact about coming back to Lincoln, although it could just be wishful thinking. If Turner does come back to NU we'll probably only pay him $1 per year. At least until all that KU buyout money is depleted. No buyouts work that way, or nobody would sign those contracts. Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I'm more curious to see if what I heard about Phil Fulmer going to Kansas is true, rather than whatever happens to Gill. First Mangino, now Fulmer...is there some surplus of wicked cheap buffets in Lawrence or something? Wouldn't know about the buffets, but it seems like they have A LOT of really good restaurants and sports bars with quality food. Well one of the guys in this pick just got the kansas HC job, but it's the one in the back looking like he just spotted an open box of doughnuts. My uncle lives in Lawrence and honestly every time we go down there I think we eat at a new place and we haven't had a bad meal yet, I could see how that would be attractive to a few um... well rounded coaches. There are so many small town eateries through out both Nebraska and Kansas. Head into a small town, find a dinner. Eat the cheapest and best meal you've had in awhile. Man you fan find some good food in those small town dinners, just get off the interstate. Some of the best steak I've ever had was driving down to Oklahoma stopping in Concordia.

bhamHusker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeesh - surely he can do better than Whackjob-U. Good philosophical fit for him, though. Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I wish him the best. I don't think it is in the c for him to get back to the NU at this time, it is simply not the right fit or time and that is not a shot at Gill or NU. For me I loved him as a player and he has had some coaching success but for now we just don't have a spot that he would want. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I hope he does a great job there and continues to grow as a coach. I think (just my opinion) he will eventually make it back here. Congrats Turner! Quote Link to comment
COMPTON Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Congrats to Turner Gill, hope he proves to everyone he's the coach he was at Buffalo and not the coaching death trap known as KU football. Quote Link to comment
Rocketsocks Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 That seems like a perfect match. Congratulations coach Gill. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Good luck Coach Gill. Build that little program into a powerhouse!! Quote Link to comment
Cornicator Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeesh - surely he can do better than Whackjob-U. Good philosophical fit for him, though. Yes.... cuz Southern Baptists are SOOOOOOOOOO crazy. I'm hardly a church going dude, but Liberty University's Southern Baptist beliefs are shared by about 30 million Americans. Its a bit ignorant to call Liberty, "Whack Job U." Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 To be fair, there's a lot of whackjobs in America. Quote Link to comment

Its a bit ignorant to call Liberty, "Whack Job U." Our country (and Baptist roots) was established by "religious whack jobs", FWIW. Quakers, Puritans, and (later) Lutherans, among others, were "whack jobs" in the eyes of the "whack job" European religious establishment. OTOH, even the "whack job" Puritans weren't as big as teetotalers as the "whack job" Baptists. Just sayin'. "whack job" Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's a good fit and a natural landing spot after KU. Good location to burnish credentials and, after Weiss falters big time in Lawrence, folks might be inclined to give Turner some retrospective credit.................. Quote Link to comment
dizzturbedNUfan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This makes me very happy! He isn't coming back here! Quote Link to comment

I kinda hate to bring this up on a football website, but didn't Liberty University ban interracial dating until just a few years ago? Did the administration meet Turner's wife Gayle?
