TURNER A NO GO (Official)

[temperflare]

Anyone consider the possibility that Turner Gill wants to stay in Buffalo and take them a step further? I know that isn't the norm, but if he decides to stay because of how he feels about what he has accomplished thus far and wants to do more then I give him mega props.

We certainly didn't get that with Chizik.

It's hard to turn down something that was never offered to you in the first place...

lol... M&M are so full of ****. we are all in denial because Turner gill "turned jamie pollard down" lol. im sure they have a really reliable source... great to listen to this homers. just make me hate the hawks more!

I would love to have Turner Gill, but I think he knows what 'firmly entrenched' means! :smile:

M&M Interview of Gill's Attorney

That was a good job out of them. Very thorough.

Re: M&M Interview of Gill's Attorney

Besides the fact that they were trying to get him to tell them ISU is a bad place to coach.

 

[Cymon]

So.......are we getting Turner Gill then?

I still think this whole Turner Gill situation is fishy... I could understand choosing Buffalo over ISU if no money was involved, but I'm thinking if Pollard offered (which he may not have) it would have been $1 mil +. If Pollard didn't offer, he has a better canidate in mind.

This whole situation reminds me of when we hired Chizik... everyone starts to get down, and than Pollard pulls off a "WOW" hire.

Something very strange is going on... just not sure what.

I have that exact same feeling, i wont believe anything until JP or the coach actually says something.

We can only hope that it doesnt end the same way. :wink:

 

[cyclonez7]

I'm fine with whoever JP hires as long as I see W's.

This article pretty much puts an end to it:

Turner Gill not in running for ISU opening | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

"I'm going to be here at the University at Buffalo," Gill told the Associated Press after practice. "I've given you my word, I've given my football team our word that I will be the football coach in 2009 at the University at Buffalo."

Someone needs to tell Turner not to be so specific with his promises. What if the Penn State job were to open up tomorrow and they offered him $3 million?

So he'd rather make $300K next year at Buffalo than come to ISU and make 5 times that. If that's truly the case, I would question his judgment, and we might be better off without him.

Wow, what a piece of work. How dare he turn down Iowa State!!! :rolleyes5cz: You'd be better off without him?? So this guy, puts his team, his promise to these kids, ahead of money.....and you'd be better off without him?? It's obvious you know zero about Turner as a person. He's not looking for a payday. He's very spiritual, and true to his word. If God/his heart tells him Buffalo is where he should be right now...that's where he'll be. And money wouldn't change that. He's got class and loyalty. You'd be lucky to get someone like that.

 

[cyclonez7]

I wish Gill the best. You won't find many coaches as loyal and passionate as him.

Yet another person that pops in to give their 2 cents like anyone thats on here frequently cares. At this point Im starting to wonder how many new users we have been "blessed" with in the past few days.

He made a good point... actually a great point. Too bad you think his post number makes his opinion not count.

Dont get me started on your opinions. Is Gameday still coming to Ames?
And actually, I never said anything about my opinion of what he had to say. For what its worth, I could care less, Im tired of the one and done posters.

i don't get it, should a high post count make someone more right...in your case in isn'th helping. TG is following through on a promise, kinda reminds you of a guy that just screwed us over...except in the exact opposite way.

Good luck Gill.

Yep. The position that Gill is taking right now is what we all thought and hoped Gene would do.

Sour grapes.
