so maybe that was him at the airport in KC on the way to NYC!!

I think it was...and I still don't disrupt people talking on cell phones.

About the only gig he will get with his disaster as a Big time coach.

Turner inherited a disaster of a football team at a basketball school. I doubt KU could have hired ANYONE that would have done any better considering the situation.

He'll land on his feet again.

BCS conference, YES. He was the worst coach ever in BCS conference imo as his teams got destroyed every time and his offense was crap...treated grown men like children and wonder why he had problems.

They are in BCS conference, but they aren't and haven't been a competitive program, let alone "big time," except for one year where the fat man had an easy schedule, playing neither Oklahoma or Texas, playing callllllly led Nebraska and Ron Prince led KSU... losing to Mizzouri, the only real team the played that year.

That program is garbage and their one decent season was smoke and mirrors. They fell right back to earth the next year and started their decline after that (8-5, 5-7 Mangino's last two years).

The program was rotted out from the inside by Mangino, and Gill inherited an absolute mess.

I could see Gill doing the TV thing for one season, and make some contacts. There are a lot of CFB teams out there, and I'm sure one will take a chance on him. May not be a great program, but he'll get another shot somewhere.

Worked for Urban, with a slightly different coaching history.

Bob Davie turned it into a New Mexico gig.

Agreeing with you feels dirty.

I'll beat the dead horse but Gill's biggest mistake was taking the wrong job. Coaches on the rise really need to take the right one because doing otherwise can end a career.

Gene Czick was 5-19 at Iowa St too and see what happened there

I'm not saying he's going back to a BCS school, but it wouldn't be out of this world if a WAC, C-USA or Sun Belt school thought he was a good guy to hire. I'd have to imagine he's getting a lot of sympathy from the coaching fraternity, and that will probably go a long ways to getting a new job.

I watched the replay of The Experts. I thought that he did a nice job in a group that has obviously worked together before. If he were interested in working as a commentator, I think he could be a good one.
