BC is telling their head coach that he will be fired if he interviews with the NY Jets.

Leaving BC for the NFL will be a career killer.

he said he is interviewing anyway

they are going to promote former ECU HC Steve Logan from OC to HC

Jag will have another job in days, he is an outstanding HC

I really can't believe Auburn didnt give Turner Gill more of a look. I watched the Uconn/BU game and that dude is winning with a bunch of 1-AA caliber guys, smoke and mirrors.

Why is that hard to believe? it took decades for there to be one black head coach in the SEC and the fact that Gill is not only black but married to a white woman did play a factor no matter what they say in Auburn.

I think most schools worry more about firing a black coach than hiring one...

Let's all remove our mouths from Gill's nuts for a moment. He beat:

UTEP 5-7
Temple 5-7
Army 3-9
Ohio 4-8
Miami (OH) 2-10
Akron 5-7
Bowling Green 6-6

and
Ball St. 12-1


The Ball State win was money, but the rest, meh.

I agree that Chizk is a terrible hire. But everyone acts like Gill was the BEST choice.

or maybe just somebody who interviewed that is clearly better than the hire?

As they should be. When black ULL coach Jerry Baldwin is fired after winning ONLY 3 GAMES in 3 years and wins a discrimination lawsuit, its troubling for schools.

He's coaching freaking Buffalo son. Give the man his props. He also had his hat in the ring for the Nebraska job last year. He's a better HC than Chizik.

I don't see what being married to a white woman has to do with anything.
