Liberty head football coach Turner Gill announces retirement

 

Effective immediately, Liberty University Head Football Coach Turner Gill announced that he is retiring from coaching football.

 

Liberty says a national search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Gill's successor will be the ninth head coach in the school's history.

 

Gill recently completed his seventh season as Liberty's head coach, and will end his tenure at the school with a 47-35 record and a career 72-84 record.

 

Liberty posted a winning record in each of Gill's seven seasons at the helm of the program, extending the Flames' streak to 13 seasons in a row with a winning mark.

 

Gill's tenure afforded him to see Liberty transition from an FCS football program to the FBS level. That move was jumpstarted with a 48-45 win over Baylor on Sept. 2, 2017.

 

 

Look who's in the picture they used for this article. I wonder if Coach Brown has any interest in the job?

I'd probably retire too if Joe Dailey was my OC

 

 

 

But in all seriousness best of luck to him and especially his wife.  It's too bad his coaching career couldn't have gone a little differently.

Best of luck to Turner and his family with everything.  

 

Would be interesting to see if Liberty goes after Ron Brown.  Hugh Freeze wouldn't stun me either.  Depends how quickly he wants to get a head coaching job again I suppose.

A guy like hugh freeze at liberty university? That's highly unlikely.

He's 56, BTW. Wouldn't be surprised to see him resurface somewhere at some point...

The Bold - I had the exact same thought when I saw the picture.  Brown to Liberty makes perfect sense.

His first public appearance post resigning at Ole Miss was at Liberty.

I don't think he ends up at Liberty as I think he'll be able to snag a high level OC job, just that it wouldn't stun me.

If anything I'd say it's the opposite. Liberty is crooked and immoral as they come. 

 

I hope Turner continues to do well in life and I'm glad he retired so I can stop feeling so conflicted about him coaching at that school.

Are you speaking of their homophobic stance?
