[Husker] Why not Turner Gill?

[JEN_SENS]

I would almost bet anything Turner isn't going anywhere this year. He feels 
a great deal of loyalty to his players in Buffalo. (What a concept) There is 
a desire to finish what he started. I believe the Nebraska job would have 
been a difficult decision for him.

I think somewhere along the way someone with a great deal of influence in 
his life, taught him that the joy is in the journey, not the destination.

BTW it appears the former player to replace Cassidy is Trev Alberts.
