Because.......he is a black man......and married to a white woman.....Turner Gill has had a very long wait........to get into the big time college football arena. A graduate of the University of Nebraska.....a star quarterback .......this man bid his time as an assistant coach.....before finally taking a head coaching job at Buffalo.
Buffalo? No ......not that Buffalo. This was .....the University of Buffalo. A college team that had just 16 wins in 9 years. 9 years!
Gill wins 20.......in just three years......with really no Division I players......playing against.....Division I schools.
Why? None of the big schools would touch him.
Gill is now.....on the big screen.......the big stage....(if you can call Kansas big league).
But it is a step up. We applaud Kansas for stepping up and making a statement. The year is almost 2010. Judge a man for his ability........not......a predetermined belief......of old white guys.
Turner Gill has proven.........he can coach.....and he can recruit........
It's a shame.....it took this long......to get ......a real job.
