I'll guarantee you none by me....Why? because I don't care what happens to the east.

I don't know, I don't visit other boards besides this one. There probably were because there are some doozies in this fan base, too. It's just amazing how this topic has turned into a flame against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Re: Turner Gill
Fire up the Turner Gill Bandwagon!!
This definitely makes sense for Iowa State. He has proven he can turn a program around as a head coach and obviously that is what needs to be done at Iowa State.
We don't need to hire another "potentially" good head coach. We need someone that has been there and proven to be a winner. Turner Gill I am sure has some great midwestern ties and would be a great recruiter. He is passionate about his players and seems to be very loyal to who he works for (both key at this point for the clones.)
I hear everyone saying he wouldn't want to coach against Nebraska and I don't think that is true at all, they passed on him when they had the chance. He would only have to face them one time a year in exchange for coaching in the best football conference in the country. I think he will take that exchange.
Turner Gill or Bust!!!

Re: Turner Gill
No doubt. Why the ---- do they feel the need to frequent our boards and comment?
As for Gill, no way he will take this job. He has a higher profile now and no way he wants to step into this disaster.

Its two sided really. Sometimes they sneak on here and instigate, and other times, we have some folks on here that have an obsession with the hawks as well.

Like the 30 stories a year that run about the lack of black head coaches in the NFL or NCAA?

Not sure what you are talking about. I thought we were talking about Iowa State and Turner Gill here. I couldnt care less what other people do or say.

Re: Turner Gill
How'd that work out for Prince at K-State and Croom at Mississippi State?
I want the guy who is most qualified for the job regardless of his race. If we think Gill can be the one to turn this program around, I'm all for it. But, recent history doesn't appear to support the premis that a black coach will be a more successful recruiter.

Re: Turner Gill
I don't think he's enrolled anywhere else (right?). He could still come back!

I thought you were OK commenting here.
What would hiring Gill do for season ticket sales overall? We have one on the record talking a giving increase. Anyone else?

Yeah it amazes me how many perfect people we have around this board. Everyone can make mistakes except Pollard. I tell you, we hired this guy to be our network admin once who absolute didnt know **** and sucked as a team member in general. We hired him because in his interview his resume was flawless and full and his personality was golden. Made all sorts of promises about his aptitude for network management. It happens people, look at how Chiziks character panned out, he obvioulsy manipulated JP and the rest of us.
Re: Turner Gill
You know one could have said the same for DMac, but he seemed to look forward to the Iowa game every year.

Personally I think we should fire JP and everyone he's hired (ok, except Cael) and bring back Gene Smith. Everything was just perfect when he was here.
I always thought Gene looked like a tool in the "Standard black pleated dress pants with western style belt" Did he have 10 pairs of those things.
