Fire Turner Gill already?

So Turner Gill was the new Kansas Jayhawks coach for like 30 minutes when some idiot or a group of idiots created FireTurnerGill.com. Why?

Check out this logic:

Typically when a program fires a two-time Coach of the Year, a big name hire can be expected. Typically if a coach can't win in the MAC, they won't succeed in the BigXII. Well, the Jayhawks thought otherwise. How about a coach with a 20-30 overall record?

With all the great names out there for hire, Lew(ser) Perkins settled for a cheap, easy pick. This was a lazy attempt at a national head coaching search. If this administration wants to become a national program, make a national hire!

You can't predict failure, but anyone can see this train-wreck coming.

To actually consider Gill a failure at Buffalo shows this person's or group's lack of knowledge about college football. What Gill accomplished with the Bulls is one of the more impressive coaching jobs of the past few decades.

When he took over the Bulls in 2006, Buffalo a combined record of 16-85 since 1997. After a tough 2-10 first year, Gill lead UB to an 18-20 mark. It may not be a winning season, but it's much more impressive than what Mark Mangino did in 2007 when KU went 12-1.

Buffalo was the worst Division I program in the nation when Turner Gill arrived. That's right, worse than Temple.

As he leaves, the Bulls have won a Mid-American Conference championship and you have to go back to the 1960s to find a time UB was this competitive.

This is a great hire Kansas. Jim Harbaugh wasn't leaving Stanford for Lawrence, Kan. He's waiting for Michigan to dump Rich Rod next year. Harbaugh was using KU for leverage in Palo Alto.

Sign of the weekend?

As Ball State was fumbling away its shot at a perfect season and the Mid-American Conference championship last night, I started thinking ... is this beginning of another upset championship weekend?

It seems these conference championships never really go the way they are supposed to. Remember 2003? Oklahoma entered the Big 12 title game undefeated and No. 1 in the nation. Then Bill Snyder's K-State dominated the Sooners to the tune off 35-7. The Sooners still played in the BCS title game, where they lost again.

I even remember the first season of the BCS in 1998. That year, four teams entered the final Saturday unbeaten: Kansas State, Tennessee, Tulane and UCLA. OK, Tulane doesn't really count since they didn't register high enough on the BCS rankings.

UCLA, which looked like the nation's best team, had to go to Miami because the game was rescheduled from September following Hurricane Georges. The Hurricanes, led by Edgerrin James, won a shootout in the Orange Bowl 49-45.

Tennessee did rally to defeat Mississippi State in the SEC title tilt, but K-State fell to Texas A&M in double OT. The Wildcats' loss let Florida State, with one loss, back into the title game against the Volunteers in the Fiesta Bowl.

Could it happen today? It sure would shake things up with the BCS and give us a lot to talk about. Much more exciting than a playoff.
