Art Briles’ former boss is in need of a new head football coach. Could this be the one?

If former Baylor coach Art Briles has any hope of landing another job as a college football coach, an opening was just created where he could realistically land.

Liberty University coach Turner Gill, who graduated from Arlington Heights and was also the head coach at Buffalo and Kansas, announced on Monday he is retiring immediately.

Gill announced the decision based solely on the health of his wife, who was diagnosed with a heart condition in 2016.

Liberty’s athletic director is Ian McCaw, who was the Baylor AD from 2003 to 2016.
