Oh for FFS. We have discussed about the Turner Gil hiring.
Last year's Buffalo team was pretty young team.
Also, his first year in Buffalo was 2-10.
After that, it was 5-7.
Then it was 8-6.
Sometimes W-L's can be a little skewed with the first year, when he didn't have much to work on. But he has shown some improvement.
It also helps KU to have a former Big XII guy who has some experience in the conference. I should also point out that Gill served as position coach for two first team All-Americans, Tommie Frazier and Eric Crouch, with Crouch also earning the Heisman Trophy under Gill's tutelage. The Cornhuskers earned three national championships in Gill's time as an assistant there.
It also helps that he has strong ties in Texas.
