Gill Sets Tone As New Kansas Coach In Lawrence
Kansas opens the season with Turner Gill leading a coaching staff that contrasts the late Mark Mangino in appearance and approach. Gill, a Nebraska standout and former high character quarterback, inherits a squad missing Todd Reesing and star receivers while aiming to add speed and depth, with Jordan Webb and Kale Pick competing for the starting role. He faces injury absences, a rebuilt receiving corps, and a defense needing more speed as the Jayhawks prepare for North Dakota State, Georgia Tech, and Southern Miss.
