JOEY Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 There is no program aside from Nebraska I want to see succeed as much as Turner Gill's Kansas. I just don't want it to be at our expense is all. Next season it's on. yup next season Quote Link to comment
deedsker15 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 i personally will feel happy for any success that Gill has...even if it is against nebraska please don't beat us Gill Quote Link to comment
MCAT800 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I knew the chances of getting UT tickets would prove to difficult and expensive so I am glad I picked the KU game as the game I was going to this year. I have so much respect for Turner Gill that I wanted to be at the only conference game between him and the Huskers. It will be a special night. And hopefully we hang 50 on him. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I cannot wait for this game. I want this to be a blowout so it's decided early, and I want the crowd to chant "Tur-ner GILL!" as he leaves the field. Are they any recruits coming to the game? How awesome to show them that once your N you may leave but you'll always be family. Quote Link to comment
druski_2k5 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Gill will get a great reception, I hope he gets things turned around at Kansas, I have absolutely nothing against them, even including 2007. However, he will be "the enemy" for three hours and we have to see it just like that, because that is how he will "view us" and each side wants to win. It's friendly competition, but at the end of the day, we will all still appreciate what he did for us, and us moving to the Big Ten, it will be less awkward while Gill is at Kansas, plus rooting for them to overtake the Big XII will be easier.

mnhusker Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Callahan is a dick!!! Unsuccessful prick! I 2nd that. Quote Link to comment
druski_2k5 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I wouldn't mind meeting Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, if we can't get a better opponent, than to beat the holy crap out of Pederson and his school now. Sweet, sweet revenge. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Absolutely awesome article. Im glad his coaching career has taken off but I wish he could still be on our staff. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have a question for all: should an automatic qualifying conference such as the Big East get to send their champion to a BCS game if their champion isn't ranked in the top 25 of the BCS? Quote Link to comment
TemporarySaint Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Callahan is a dick!!! Unsuccessful prick! It's more than that. Even if Cally was a success, his style would of been hard to swallow. His arrogance, lack of respect for or history, and tradition. A college coach is more than that, they are first and foremost molders of men. 95% of your guys will never go pro, never even think about it, as the coach you are there to help them become stronger in life, not just on the field. After Cally was fired, it really came out how cold he was towards the players. I guess in the end I will always look to the interviews of players from our Nat Champ years under TO. You see some of the hardest men to ever play the game start to well up as they talk about what TO meant to them in there lives, and the respect they still have for him, no one will ever shed a tear for Callahan.... Outside any personal feelings regarding Callahan or Gill, I have a hard time finding fault with Callahan in this story. There is definitely a problem when a receivers coach can't get his guys lined up properly that long into camp. I assure you our coaches now here way worse from Pelini in practice every day.

I'm referring specifically to really the only part Callahan is mentioned in the story. He coached wide receivers in his only season under Callahan. I cringe every time I recall Callahan, during a preseason practice, barking, “Day 19, Turner, and you still can’t get them lined up right!” Quote Link to comment

I cringe every time I recall Callahan, during a preseason practice, barking, “Day 19, Turner, and you still can’t get them lined up right!” Turner Gill was the QB for one of the most prolific offenses of all time here at Nebraska. He helped coach Tommie Frazier, Brook Berringer, Scott Frost, and Eric Crouch to 3 national championships and a Heisman trophy. He's intensely loyal to his players and to the school, and Bill Callahan/Steve Pederson came in and in just a few short years nearly destroyed everything guys like Turner Gill and Tom Osborne and Bob Devaney helped to build. Callahan never understood Nebraska football, and didn't make an effort to. That's where he was at fault. And you can talk all you want about how Bo chews out his assistant coaches. He is incredibly loyal to every one of them, defends them in the press, encourages them to move up in the business when they get an opportunity, and Pelini's staff has now been together for 3 years, while Callahan lost Turner after just one year.

Nebula Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 C'mon UConn! I just can't get excited about playing Pitt in a projected BCS bowl. All the Pederson bitterness aside, there are about eight teams I'd rather play in the Fiesta Bowl. And much respect to Turner Gill. He is clearly a good person with a big heart, whether he is actually a good head coach or not. (I'm not saying one way or the other, because I honestly don't know. He had a great season at moribund Buffalo, but I don't think he's established himself as a coaching heavyweight or anything. I know one thing for sure; If somebody told me when I was seventeen that I had a choice of two places to attend, and at one of the places I would have a 10pm curfew in place in terms of being out and about with the opposite sex, I would have sprinted like an East Berliner toward an unguarded wall in the opposite direction.) EDIT: Stupid S key! Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Turner Gill is and always will be my fav Husker. I think we could blow out Kansas, but I don't think Bo will let it get to ugly. I don't think Turner would have rang up 76 points on us even if he could have, if he was the head coach of Kansas back then. There's a thing called class, and he has a lot of that. I hope Turner has a great career at Kansas, once we're gone. As far as playing Pitt,. Nothing would be sweeter than to stick it to Pederson. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
