Danimal Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I can't believe Illinois and Maryland don't have openings. One of those could've been good for Gill. Illinois could be hard to get but I could definitely see Maryland. I don't think Gill is up for Cinci but he could get whatever job the new Cinci guy leaves. Houston or ECU would be still be nonBCS but definitely an upgrade from Buffalo. Quote Link to comment
sarge87 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Perkins denies any offers Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Athletic director Lew Perkins says he has not offered the vacant Kansas coaching job amid reports that the school is negotiating with Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh. Perkins has been interviewing candidates to replace Mark Mangino, who resigned under pressure after an investigation into his treatment of players. Perkins is known to have talked to Buffalo coach Turner Gill and Mississippi coach Houston Nutt. Perkins issued a statement Friday insisting he would not comment on unsubstantiated reports. He added, "Having said that, I will reiterate at this time that the process is ongoing. We have not offered the head coaching position to anyone." A school spokesman declined to say whether Perkins was negotiating with any candidates. Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 ^^ All I know is they better hurry. They're losing potential recruits the longer they wait. Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just in case this get's lost. Further evidence of a "Nutt" job (no Tiger). From Twitter: Tom Dienhart:I am hearing Jim Harbaugh is NOT coming to Kansas. Turner Gill may be on deck. Skip Holtz, Kevin Sumlin and Butch Jones also are options. Quote Link to comment

sarge87 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 If they are looking at Gill to be the head coach: Will he be able to raise money? How does he fare against the Basketball program which is the dominate horse on campus? I think what also may have been Mangino's undoing at KU was the animus he was creating between the basketball program and the football program. He turned it into an us versus them environment in the locker room, which possibly could have contributed to the altercations between the football and the basketball players this year.

I think your No. 1 point is most significant too. Rumors swirl that the reasons the witch hunt started was that Perkins had no faith in Mangino being able to offer an assist in raising the 34 million that they need for their new skybox addition.

I had heard from a relative of mine, who was a student there, Mangino had rubbed some of the big money boosters the wrong way, and Perkins always had to clean up the PR disasters Mangino caused with them.

Danimal Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Congrats to Gill I was hoping he'd get a BCS job outside the 12 but I'm still happy for him. I guess he has Chuck Long lined-up to be OC and Carl Torbush from Mississippi State to be the DC. Quote Link to comment

I guess he has Chuck Long lined-up to be OC and Carl Torbush from Mississippi State to be the DC. Yeah I just read this at Kansascity.com. I guess Gill is a better hire than those ungrateful blowhards in Kansas are giving him credit for. Who would have thought? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Gill went from making $400K per year at Buffalo to $2 million per year at Kansas, says Sean Callahan. Quote Link to comment
ICT HSKR 10 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 People down here are already complaining about hiring Gill, idiots. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I know I breathed a big sigh of relief when KU announced Gill as their coach. It appears that both the Big 12 North and South just got a little easier. Quote Link to comment
