bhamHusker Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I don't want to derail this more than I already have (inadvertently), so we can take it to politics and religion if we need to continue the discussion. I must clarify one thing, though, since a few are taking exception to my description of Liberty University. Living down here in Alabama, I get the opportunity to meet many Liberty graduates. I stand by my description. Mind you, I'm not describing Baylor or TCU or even BYU as "whack job U." Liberty is a factory for extremists, and was founded as such by the same clown that gave us The Moral Majority, and who said that his god allowed the 9/11 attacks to succeed because of this country's "acceptance" of the gays. I think "whack job U" is a fitting monicker for a university that has "liberty" in its very name but has banned a student Democratic Party club. I hope Gill brings to Liberty University the same level of success he enjoyed at KU. /derail off 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I don't know about the philosophies or politics of Liberty U. But I know that Lynchburg VA is one of the neatest little towns in outstate Virginia. It would be a great place to live. I hope Turner prospers there. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Gill announced his coaching staff today with some former Nebraska associates worth mentioning. Another somewhat surprising twist is Carl Torbush is back with Gill again after retiring before the 2011 season at Kansas due to prostate cancer. The following people on the Liberty staff have either played for or coached (Assistants, GA's & Interns included) at Nebraska. Dennis Wagner (OC/OL) Aaron Stamn (Co-OC/TE) Joe Dailey (QB Coach) Mike Minter (STC) Liberty U Coaching Staff Quote Link to comment

Following him at NU and then Carolina, I always thought he would be a good one. Best of luck to a classy guy in Gill. Good fit for him and some others on he staff. 1 Quote Link to comment
bisonwiches Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So, I was reading about Mike Minter Jr.(2013 class hopeful) and his father Nebraska Hall of Fame safety which led me search the internet for minter(jr. and sr) when I came across Turner Gill's new staff at Liberty which includes several former huskers including Mike Minter(Special Teams Coordinator) and Joe Dailey (Quaterbacks Coach). link: http://www.libertyflames.com/index.cfm?PID=10869&NewsID=8265 Quote Link to comment
bisonwiches Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 damn!.....I did not read that through before posting, my huskerboard career is floundering quickly Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 How did I miss this? Liberty/Lynchburg is less than an hour down the road from me. Mixed emotions. I'm surprised Gill dropped to this level. He was at least proven at the MAC level, but maybe he was looking for something different and thought Liberty is a good fit. I'm not a fan of the Falwells, but I run some trail races put on by Liberty people and it's all good. Might have to go see a game next year. I think they play my kid's school (JMU).

Both as a Husker and a pro. Seem to remember an article where he moved back to Lincoln in order to get his son right under the noses of the Husker staff. Hope joining TG doesn't move Junior out of state. Quote Link to comment
Pornhusker Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 To be fair, there's a lot of whackjobs in America. Quote Link to comment
