Great news. I am happy for him.

[PECKERWOOD]

Does this spell the end for all the success UB has been having with Gill? Or do you guys think we'll find a solid replacement?

[Night Train]

Good for him.

Thanks for making UB relevant again.

still not confirmed by the University or by A.D. WARDE MANUEL, until the University or the A.D. comes out and makes a statement I'm still going to hold out hope that the reports are false. I am very close with UB as I am an alumnus class of 2002.

Good for Turner! He will have a much larger recruiting budget in the midwest and he'll want to kick the **** out of Nebraska now.

On a side note Gill makes the third African American Coach hired to a major D-I program this season. Just an interesting footnote.

now it's official,

Barrett Named Interim Head Coach As Gill Departs
National search to commence for next football coach

“Today is a day that creates many mixed feelings,” said Manuel. “I am saddened to see Turner leave us as he has done an absolutely fantastic job of building our football program to unprecedented success upon a value system that we can all be proud of. That being said, I am extremely happy for Turner and his family that they have been granted this opportunity.”

“Moving forward I have every confidence that Danny Barrett will provide great leadership for our program while we search for our next head coach,” said Manuel. “We will begin a national search immediately to find the best person and football coach to keep us competing for championships on an annual basis while focusing on the efforts of our student-athletes in the classroom. Coach Barrett is a candidate for the position and is the only internal staff member that will be considered.”
