Is Turner Gill a no brainer?

If there is, there shouldn't be.
Slim to none, IMO. If Jamie pulls it off, it's a major home run.

Gill has built a program from practically nothing and won a conference title with them. He has ties in this part of the country. Pelini is doing well at Nebraska so that job won't be opening anytime soon for him.
Yes, it's a no-brainer. I just hope he gives us a chance.

After losing Chizik, who has made himself out as scum of the earth for lying to everyone involved, Gill would be a complete 180. I don't know if any of you saw his interview after the MAC championship, but I don't think you'd come to see any of this from Gill.
I don't think anyone here would be unhappy with Gill. He is a hot commodity candidate with a proven track record as a head coach, unlike Chizik.
I think JP has to try and hunt down someone who has had success at a non-bcs school. Right now, after failure with Gene, I want someone who has succeeded as a head coach.

Found this on the Syracuse Board....
If he wasn't enthusiastic about the SU job, why would he be for one of the worst jobs in the country?
Because it's in the Big 12
...and?
If he wants to go to back to that part of the country, he'd be better off taking a job like TCU or Tulsa.

We dont need another young coach that will leave for a better situation once someone comes throwing large $'s. We need a stable head coach who could build the thing up and appoint someone under him to take over down the road. Phil Fulmer, Tommy T. Needs to be an offensive coach. The last defensive coached we have hired have not panned out. The big 12 is going to high scoring offenses, we might as well get on board. Young recruits want to come to a place to score TD, not battle it out in a 13-10 game!!
Its too good a fit. He has experence, he knows how to build a program, he knows the conference, players would like him, fans would like him, he is ofensive mind, and is from texas.
I definitely don't want to see Phil Fulmer. Gill would be awesome, but I don't know if he would come here. He might like the Nebraska job down the line, but it probably won't be open for a bit. I would be very happy with him. If he can win at Buffalo, that says a lot.
I think if Auburn fans were pissed about the Chizik hire, they'd be even more pissed that we ended up with what could be the better coach between the two at the end of this.
The same would probably apply if Gill found his way here as well.
And the flipside:

I have to say the more research i do the more i want Turner Gill at Iowa State. His personality seems like it would be a good fit for us.
I think we need a bookie event for betting on who we think will get hired! That could be interesting. :yes:
I'll betcha Tommy T will end up back in the SEC if anywhere, just to stick it to Auburn...
