ISU is NOT getting Gill. simple as that. after 2004 he was offered a position on the OU staff and turned it down because he didnt want to have to play NU.
And dont think that he wants to get back at NU, he is very good friends with Tom Osborne and has publicly said that he does not blame TO for not giving him the head coaching job as he is an offensive coach when we needed a defensive coach. he understood.
Good luck on the coaching search but you are not getting Turner Gill. im sorry.
Because we have too many stupid people saying why a coach won't come here and they don't have a clue either way. Constant talking out their arse.
I think ISU fans are setting themselves up for disappointment. 99% of the fans seem to want Gill. What if Gill doesn't come to ISU? How are the players going to feel? Is everyone going to be disappointed?
YOU know nothing!!!im not trolling bud, im just saying what i have heard and seen.
Don't get too excited, this info is just from Marty's dentist.
We've only seen one successful season - Suppose you are JP - are you comfortable giving a $1MM, 5-year contract based on that data? I guess you are....I'm not there...yet..
Hire Auburn's coach . . he has been there before. ISU can't afford another rookie coach mistake.

Gill isn't an idiot...he knows his stock is very high right now. There is a possibility he regresses at Buffalo next year (there really isn't much of a chance to go up). He interviewed for about every open head coaching job recently and was passed up by all of them. Iowa State will be his last chance to land a BCS job this year. And who knows, maybe he falls off the map like Schiano at Rutgers did.
Ok, OK .....I'm on the Gill bandwagon - one season with 5 losses and Gill is the next Nick Saban.....Go Jamie - offer him $2 million + $1 more than what Cheesestick is getting at Auburn and ISU will be in a January bowl in three years guaranteed!
i have followed Gills career since before he left NU and judging by prior actions and comments i just dont see him going to ISU.
Who knows if we get this guy. Don't even know if he's the right guy for the job. Certainly looks like a great option.
I just see so many thinking he's the only viable option out there. So what if we don't get him? Or, what if Pollard doesn't even want him?
Hanging onto one guy via these searches for anyone usually isn't a good idea...sets ya up for disappointment.
Not sure we'll ever know for sure who is or isn't the right guy for the job until we actually hire someone and they start winning 8 or 9 games a year.
I like Gill - but who's to say that he's actually the right guy for the job? We likely won't know that for several years. The same goes for just about any hire we make.

You think we can lure Hoke out of his newly signed deal with SDSU?
I don't think we should be going after coaches that just signed new deals with new schools.
Holy crap, that's some breaking news right there...
