I agree Putnam. I am appalled at the trend towards freedom from religion as opposed to freedom of religion. Atheists expect to have the freedom to hold their own beliefs, yet are unwilling to respect the rights of others to the same.
As for Turner, it took him three years to really make a difference at Buffalo. I think Kansas was crazy to not give him a third year. This year's Jayhawks were clearly better than last year's, and there is no reason to believe that next year's team wouldn't have shown similar improvement. I personally think that the big mistake Turner made at Kansas was starting from scratch with an all-new staff. When Grobe went to Wake Forest, he took most of his staff intact, and it helped him to succeed. When Frank came to Ohio, he brought in some that had worked with him at Nebraska, and many of the others had worked together at NMSU under Tony Samuel, that also helped. Gill, as I recall, elected to try to build a whole new staff from scratch at Kansas, rather than bringing the bulk of his Buffalo assistants with him, and I think that set them back quite a bit in year one.
