🚨 HUSKER HOMECOMING: Nebraska Stuns College Football World by Bringing Back Legendary QB Turner Gill as Assistant Coach — A Bold Move to Rekindle Glory and Restore the Heartbeat of Big Red Football
Lincoln, NE — In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the college football landscape and igniting a firestorm of excitement across Husker Nation, Turner Gill, one of the most iconic figures in Nebraska football history, is officially returning to the program — this time, as an assistant coach under Matt Rhule.
Gill, the beloved former Husker quarterback and national champion, is back in Lincoln to do more than just coach — he’s here to inspire, rebuild, and help restore the soul of Nebraska football. His hiring marks one of the boldest cultural moves of the Rhule era — signaling a return to tradition, toughness, and the core values that once made Nebraska a national powerhouse.
> “This is more than a coaching hire — it’s a homecoming,” Coach Rhule said. “Turner Gill is Nebraska. And together, we’re going to remind the world what that means.”
From 1980–1983, Gill led the Huskers to glory under Tom Osborne and remains a symbol of discipline, leadership, and excellence. His return bridges the gap between Nebraska’s storied past and its ambitious future, giving players a living example of what it means to wear the scarlet and cream.
Inside the program, the energy has shifted. Recruits, alumni, and fans alike are calling this a “turning point” — a signal that Nebraska isn’t just rebuilding a team, they’re rebuilding a legacy.
> “The pride is back,” said one former Husker. “This move is pure Nebraska.”
With Turner Gill back on the sidelines, Big Red is charging forward — with its heart fully restored.
