[Husker] Why Not Gill?

[Harmon, Josh]

I personally would prefer Turner Gill to BP and wonder what the hesitation is with TG as well.  He obviously has more head coaching experience, so perhaps it's simply that he's too familiar -- kind of like Frank is now.  And perhaps he's too closely associated with Frank (whom I like just to be clear -- but not to start something).  
 
Anyway, I guess the chips will fall where they will.  It's hard for me to see him leaving Buffalo where he's got an ok thing going -- to come back and be a coordinator at Nebraska (even at higher pay -- I don't think it's about pay at all) but stranger things have happened in the last 5 years.
 
Looks like Byrne pulled off what Pederson could not incidentally (his NFL coach was lined up and ACCEPTED the offer).  I'm still not sure he got a winner -- but A&M was quite good some of the years that Sherman was there previously.

What exactly causes the hesitation surrounding Turner Gill as Nebraska head coach?  Is it the "he's not ready" opinion?  If so, why exactly isn't he "ready"?  What qualifies someone as being "ready" for Nebraska?  I confess to thinking much along the same lines, until I really questioned what that meant.  He now has head coaching experience, although only two years.  He's spent enough time in the Nebraska system, so he would seem to be "ready" in that regard.  Just curious as to what people's thoughts are.

Also, does anyone foresee a realistic scenario where both Turner and Bo come back to Nebraska?
