to clarify I would have been happy with him but yet it's no surprise.

Re: Why Gill turning us down is bad...

I dont understand the extreme love fest you have with Gill. Were you this pissed when you didnt get Tickle-me-Elmo?

Can you not read? I wasn't pissed about not getting Gill. I was pissed about getting turned down for Buffalo. Read post thoroughly before responding. Thanks, Al_4_State

Re: Why Gill turning us down is bad...

Gill did NOT turn us down... period!

There wasn't even an interview. JP has been in Atlanta all day, and Gill has been holding football practice in Buffalo. Do you honestly think JP interviewed him over the phone and offered him the job without even seeing him personally.

Get real people! Gill just isn't interested in even interviewing for any other jobs right now.

It stinks for us fans of Gill, but it's over, and he didn't say no to us. We have to move on.


source?

Let's calm down a bit here. It's a moot point because we apparently never made to offer to him to be turned down.

Gill's attorney is mentioned to be in Atlanta (Des Moines Register)

"It’s an honor for (people) to be interested in him," said Mooney, who is based in Atlanta. "I think he’s staying put."

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Why would his attorney be the one that announces where he goes?

You let third parties talk for you for the sake of your current home team unlike Gen who petitioned for the job to escape.

Re: Why Gill turning us down is bad...

It's not bad because Turner Gill was the only good candidate out there, although he was one of top 3. It is bad because we got turned down for Buffalo. It's like we're the bar skank, that put on some make up to look decent, and got turned for a fat ***** with one arm, because everyone in the bar heard this rumor about how we have crabs. Even though we aren't that ugly, we have a such a bad rep that no one is going to touch us unless they're black out drunk. :confused:

Would you get a grip!!! Pollard didn't even meet with Gill so you going ballistic because he turned us down is silly(nice term for it) because it now looks like they never even spoke!!!! :no::no::skeptical:

Yeah. I have a grip. I posted it before we knew that they hadn't spoke, ok? Besides, I thought it was a humorous analogy.

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

And that's great. All I said earlier is to not freak out to those that really wanted him. I don't see why people are so upset that I said that. I guess I was wrong and people dind't freak out. Which is good!

And this is the fourth or fifth time you've reiterated this point. We get it. You had the inside track on this scoop, and wanted us to brace ourselves for the impending failure. Thank you. You really softened the blow for us.

I'm not sold on Peterson of Boise State, has the guy ever been east of the Rockies? We don't recruit in anywhere near the same pools of talent...

Perhaps the craziest post I've ever seen. Not sold on a guy that has one of the best records in college football if not the best. They've taken on all comers and competed and won. Recruiting is for assistants - closes are for Peterson. If Gill is at the top of anyones list this guy blows him out of the water.

Didn't the last coaching search teach us anything? Nobody is going to know who it is, until Pollard lets us know who it is. All this wishing , wanting , and speculation is a total waste of time and effort, and can actually make ISU look desperate, and silly. However it is kind of fun to watch.:cool:
