Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

What if JP is in deep discussion/negotiation with someone better than Gill? He speaks to Gill because everyone wants him too. JP (and Gill) knows Gill isn't going to be offered the job...Gill comes out and says he is staying at Buffalo and looks loyal and gets a fat raise out of the deal.

This scenario happens ALL OF THE TIME.

Jesus people, the sky isn't falling because one guy isn't coming here.


Careful. I got ripped on for saying people might freak out :)

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Uh,Chizik told Auburn "no" too....or was that just he told JP he told Auburn "no...I'm so confused. Wouldn't English be easier to understand if everyone just said what they did and did what they said?

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

And who, pray tell, is this person? Bill Parcels? Bill Belichek? Pete Carroll? Jim Tressel? The only name that seems even remotely attainable that would be better than Gill is Gary Patterson, and if we get him I will run 4 miles naked in this weather...

Please. We want to encourage Patterson to come to ISU. Not discourage him.

Turner's hot right now. He's probably being patient and waiting for the right job.

Not surprised if this rumor is true, but also would not be surprised if it's not.

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Gill is being honored Friday night by the UofB and will be signing autographs Friday night. So much for him being in Ames Friday.

Someone give me a blank 5 year contract, I will slide it in while he is signing 'autographs' and trick him into signing!

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Wow. That certainly doesn't bode well for ISU. I mean Buffalo vs. ISU and Gill turns it down?

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Buffalo out negotiated us... We may be the worst school in Division 1.

How do we know we got out negotiated? How do we know that Pollard even made an offer?

Chill out people...seriously.

Bunch of cry-whiners, this group...

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

We don't even know if Pollard was pursuing him as a serious candidate.

Re: MARTY TIRRELL - TURNER A NO GO

Atleast we know Pollard went after him.

Don't even know that much. We're pretty sure they talked/met, but that's about it. Mayhaps Pollard simply met with him and wasn't seriously interested - unless Gill wowed him.

Pollard said he's always got a short list - I'm willing to let him work though it.
