As head coach at Buffalo the past four years, he compiled a 20-30 record after inheriting a program with only 12 wins in the previous eight seasons. The Mid-American coach of the year in 2007 and 2008, he guided the Bulls to the MAC championship in 2008 and their first bowl game in half a century.
He called plays in 2007 when the Bulls set a school record with 424 points. A native of Fort Worth, he also proved effective in recruiting players in Texas -- something that is key to success for just about any Big 12 program. ESPN
I love Turner Gill and believe he got a coaching job a year late. (I'm looking at you Auburn) His success with Buffalo is pretty good, even though he has a sub .500 record there what can you expect with that program. He will be very successful in Kansas as Mark Mangino's replacement.
In other coaching news Jim Harbaugh finally made his long-awaited three-year contract extension official Sunday, when the announced a deal that keeps him under contract through 2014. The two sides were close to announcing the extension last year, but put it on hold because of the troubled economy.
