WOWT: Former Nebraska assistant coach Turner Gill has accepted the head coaching job at the University of Buffalo according to Channel 6 Big Red Insider Sean Callahan of Rivals.com.
Gill will coach in the Mid-American conference where former NU head coach Frank Solich coaches Miami (OH.).
Gill left Nebraska one year ago to pursue his dream of becoming a Division I head coach. He’s been working for the Green Bay Packers in director of player development.
The Buffalo Bulls are looking to turn around a program that has gone 10-58 the past six years, with a 3-8 record in 2001 standing as its best in that span.
Buffalo is getting a quality man who will bring some credibility to their program. Recruiting may take awhile ro turn around, but people will want their kids to play for Turner and the wins will eventually come also.
Turner Gill is a quality man and coach and he will be able to recruit Texas players and turn things around there. I wish him all the best!
