Taking a break from the herd of papers/projects/e-Portfolio assignments that I have due on Friday to wish Turner Gill all the best. I don't think he's the right guy for the job, but I hope I'm wrong as everything points towards him being a great person. No matter what the end result is, this is a big time move by Liberty.

I think the announcement will be phase 2, but we'll see.

What an exciting time to see all this happen.

But they couldn't. It is because we are Liberty that we get a great CHRISTIAN coach. He wouldn't have even smelled richmond.

1 winning season in 4. Had a winning record in year 3 only. Hopefully he's the right choice as a coach and not just as a person.

Coach Madden, are you mad that Liberty publicly said they were referring to Tony Dungy and not yourself? The legend that you are?

Also, what makes coach Gill a winner?

well HMO i'm glad you asked. Sadly John was not able to make it tonight. He is busy on is next EA sports game on WII and Xbox Football Announcers 2012. I don't think John "He's a winner cause he wins football games" madden would ever be mad at the great Tony "the tiger" Dungy or Liberty.

As for Gill, I think liberty just went WHOOP into the national spotlight with this hire. Gill is a great human being and has proven himself as a coach at Buffalo

He. Could. Go. All. The. Way!!!!!!!!!

Habula habula, I spend most of my days at the uh, at the uh, lounge eating popcorn and trying out new products. I mean, habula hubuluh, if the, if the, if the barber comes in, if the barber comes to give you a shave you should. You should let him. You uh, you uh need to watch out for that blade though. A little Barry Sanders juke will turn you into uh, into uh, into uh Thanksgiving Turducken!

Gill reminds me of Brett Favre. Hubula hubula Brett Favre is like God with a football. Actually, Gill spent a, spent a year under Favre as a coach in Green Bay. BOOM! Winner Winner Turducken Dinner. Where are my chicken wings?!?

At 5:30 my wife walks into our bathroom and I'm laughing while reading all of the old shenanigans. She asked if our wives/significant others know why we do on here. I said some do but most don't. She said we should keep it that way.

One thing's for certain - he won't have any excuses to fall back on.

Dont' remind me about that 1-10 season. Sportswriters for The Champion fought over NOT covering football, because we had to be positive.
