Alright... I like Turner Gill....

[BigMotherTucker]

That was pretty moving....

That being said, I still want bigger and better.</p>

I was waiting for him to say "character".

Turner Gill had just beat a 12-0 team to win his conf's championship for the first time ever in Buff's history. Crooom just won the Egg Bowl. I don't think Croom could win at Buffalo.

He would have been a good one instead of Croom. But I agree, I want something better this time around.

 

[HighPointDawg]

started out 2-4 before winning 5 straight and 3 of those were in OT.... seems like they were a few plays from being 4-8 .. give up a lot of points.

..suddenly on the outs here, but somebody posted earlier today that Byrne is going to interview Gil in Atlanta this weekend.

The one red flag I saw about Croom when MSU hired him was that his alma mater had turned him down. Turner Gill's in the same boat.

 

[Incognegro]

I thought they did want him as a head coach at Nebraska though.

 

[windcrysmary]

and now they are winners...

he's accomplished a hell of a lot more in 2 years than croom did in 17 years in the NFL...

lot's of question marks due to the conference he's coaching in but he's done it at the HC position..

there's always going to be uncertainity in whoever we hire.. it is quite evident though had we hired him over croom, we wouldn't be in suckdomville right now...

is it Monday yet?

well...he has proved he is a good head coach. well I mean... since he's constantly gotten, you know...better. so I mean...if we did hire him... would it not be as bad considering that he's atleast proving himself?
