Gill takes over at Kansas

Kansas hopes that Turner Gill can do for the Jayhawks what he did for Nebraska.

As a smooth option quarterback in the early 1980s, Gill was the difference-maker for the Cornhuskers, helping free them from Oklahoma's long domination and propelling Tom Osborne's program to the top of the Big Eight.

Later as an assistant coach, he helped develop a Heismanwinning quarterback and was a key member of the staff that led Nebraska to the 1994 national championship.

Kansas made the hiring official on Sunday and will formally introduce Gill as successor to Mark Mangino on Monday morning.

“I think Kansas has made a fine decision,” said Osborne, the Huskers' former coach and current athletic director. “He will do a great job.”

As reported by The Associated Press and others Saturday evening, Gill accepted Kansas' offer of a multiyear contract.

Mangino, the most successful Kansas coach in 100 years, resigned under pressure on Dec. 3 after a two-week investigation into alleged mistreatment of players.

Just two years earlier, Mangino had been consensus national coach of the year following a 12- 1 campaign and a victory in the Orange Bowl.

But misconduct has never been connected with the 47-yearold Gill, who has experienced nothing but success everywhere he's been. As head coach at Buffalo the past four years, he compiled a 20-30 record after inheriting a program with only 12 wins in the previous eight seasons. The Mid-American coach of the year in 2007 and 2008, he guided the Bulls to the MAC championship in 2008.

Stanford coach staying put

Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh's long-awaited threeyear contract extension is finally official.

The school announced a deal on Sunday that keeps Harbaugh under contract through 2014. The two sides were close to announcing the extension last year, but put it on hold because of the economy.

Athletic director Bob Bowlsby confirmed the deal was done Saturday. But the official announcement was put on hold until after Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony. Cardinal running back Toby Gerhart finished second to Alabama's Mark Ingram. Harbaugh is finishing his third season at Stanford. He guided the 19th-ranked Cardinals (8-4) to their first bowl bid in eight years. They will face Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31.
