I want Turner Gill. The question is, can we get him?
I like the idea of Gill or Peterson(he might be a stretch) Can someone fill me in on Graham. If I remember correctly his name came up 2 years ago. I believe he was a coordinator for the Browns but I can't remember.
I think we will try and get Danny Mac back.
Because Glen Mason is a jack***?:yes:Quote:

Loney enjoyed three coaching stints at his alma mater Iowa State as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach (1995-97, 2000-01). During his third stay with the Cyclones, Loney’s offense produced back-to-back bowl seasons in 2000 and 2001. In 2001, the Cyclones averaged 423.1 yards total offense per game and 26.9 points per outing. In 2000 his offense averaged 424.4 yards per game, the third-best total in school history.
Loney was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Minnesota in 1998 and 1999. Under Loney’s guidance in 1999, Minnesota was second in the Big Ten Conference and 11th in the nation in rushing offense. The Golden Gophers averaged 415.4 offensive yards and 31.6 points per game. In addition to setting five school records in 1999, Loney’s offense produced All-Big Ten first team rusher Thomas Hamer (1,326 yards) and first-team All-American center Ben Hamilton.
From 1995-97, Loney was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Iowa State, where he produced the only tailback in NCAA history to rush for a pair of 2,000-yard seasons in 1995 and 1996, Heisman Trophy finalist Troy Davis. Troy’s brother, Darren, followed that feat with 1,005 yards rushing in nine games in 1997.
BRING HIM BACK!
I like it. The irony would be sweeter when Tommy started to win and Gene started to lose.Quote:

Can we get Loney?Quote:

I'd take:
Peterson
Gill or
Loney
Gill or Peterson would probably keep more players Loney I could definetly see some players leaving.
Pete Carroll baby!
We should have a poll later when there is serious candidates, not when it's 100% speculation.
Add Brian Kelly.
******* lulz.Quote:

But seriously, I think Turner Gill sounds great. Not only does he sound like the kind of guy qualified to turn around an underachieving program, but we would have one of the only African American in the nation. Should be an asset for recruiting.
With Gill, you've got a guy used to cold weather, that might not be looking to make that jump back South. Don't know if that counts for everything, but I bet his phone has been ringing today.
