Bradr Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 ESPN.com says that the interview is now officially endorsed by Buffalo. Forgone conclusion that he goes there? It's gonna be hard to root against him. Edit: Read some of the comments. Funny stuff. I get the feeling sometimes that Kansas fans think they are going to get Urban Meyer for head coach, Stoops and Pelini for co-defensive coordinators, and Saban and Carrol for co-offense coordinators. Jeesh, amazing how Mangino inflated their heads. Quote Link to comment
Sparker Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 He did a good job turning around UB even though his record isn't great, he did a lot with what he had. I would be happy to see what he could do next door. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 playing against Turner Gill would just be weird... Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Kevin Sumlin is another name I've heard tossed out there. Don't know how much validity that holds however Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm sure Frank Solich wouldn't mind. One less competitive team in the mac east. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Whatever is good for Turner is good for me. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'd be happy for Turner. It'd sure take some of the fun out of beating the Jayhawks though. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Houston Nutt has been linked to the KU job now. From ESPN's Tim Griffin/Big 12 Blog Another name has surfaced for the vacant Kansas head coaching job created last week when Mark Mangino resigned. The Kansas City Star is reporting that Mississippi coach Houston Nutt has met with Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins about the job. Nutt, 52, would provide a splash if he was hired by Kansas. In 12 seasons as a head coach -- 10 at Arkansas and two at Mississippi -- Nutt has posted a 92-56 record and been a three-time SEC coach of the year. He makes $2.5 million per season, which would put his contract slightly ahead of Mangino's $2.3 million contract. Nutt was offered the Nebraska job after the 2003 season while coaching at Arkansas before the Cornhuskers opted for Bill Callahan. Several media outlets have reported that Perkins will meet with Buffalo coach Turner Gill sometime in the next several days. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 It would be a great move for Gill. But having him at KU would weaken our recruiting in Texas a bit. Hard to say how much, but it would have an effect on us. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As tough as it would be for me to root against Gill, this would be a great opportunity. Going up against Nutt will be tough though since Houston has had some success and experience at a BCS school. Quote Link to comment

That would make zero sense. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Duh - Nutt is looking for another raise. Shoulda figured that one out. Bradr's comment about the Nebraska/Nutt search jogged my memory. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anyone else heard this? There's a link on Gene Menez's twitter page. Don't know how i feel about this. Quote Link to comment
