During CBS' pregame show for the Southeastern Conference Championship Game on Saturday, Tony Barnhart said that University at Buffalo coach Turner Gill would interview at Kansas today.

Gill's name has also been linked to openings at Virginia and Louisville but neither school

has contacted Gill for an interview.

Rumors of Gill going to Kansas have been swirling since Mark Mangino came under fire a

month ago. Mangino was forced to resign Thursday after being accused of verbal and physical

abuse by former players.

Gill, a former Nebraska player and assistant coach, is a natural fit for Kansas.

Gill became nationally known as an assistant coach by successfully recruiting his native

Texas and the Jayhawks are believed to be seeking a coach with strong ties to Texas. Also,

Gill's oldest daughter, Jordan, is a student at Kansas.

Neither Gill nor UB Athletic Director Warde Manuel were available to comment.

Gill led the Bulls to a 5-7 record in 2009, his fourth season at the school. Gill signed a

contract extension after last season when he led the Bulls to their first Mid-American

Conference championship and first bowl bid in 50 years. His contract runs through the 2013

season.
