I thought it would be Turner and I posted all the reasons I thought so last week.  Turner and Tom are very close, and I think Tom would have loved to have given the job to Turner.  There were many reasons why he would have been a very good hire and it would have been easy for Tom to have hired him.  I think it came down to Tom choosing the person that he thought would be the best person for Nebraska at this time and put his own feelings aside.  He wanted to hire Turner, and he didn't, and that once again speaks a lot about the kind of person he is.
