Turner Gill will be the next coach at Kansas, according to multiple published reports.Gill, 47, will officially accept the position in the coming days, according to a story originally reported by Yahoo! Sports and later confirmed by the Lawrence Journal-World and others.
Gill is in his fourth year as the head coach at Buffalo, where he has a 20-30 overall record and a 5-7 mark this season. Last year, Gill led the Bulls to the MAC title, defeating heavy favorite Ball State in the championship game.
He was considered among the candidates to fill vacancies at Nebraska and Auburn, among other schools, in the past two seasons.
The return to the Big 12 will be something of a homecoming for Gill, who played quarterback at Nebraska from 1980-1983, leading the Huskers to a 28-2 record in three seasons as a starter, including three straight Big 8 titles. Gill finished fourth in the Heisman balloting in 1983, an award won by teammate Mike Rozier.
No terms of the contract were immediately known.
Kansas' previous coach, Mark Mangino, resigned in December after a late-season collapse by the Jayhawks and an investigation of his treatment of players.
Connecticut coach Randy Edsall was also believed to be a candidate for the position.
