Buffalo taps Gill’s replacement

The University at Buffalo named Jeff Quinn the school’s new head football coach Sunday, just a week after Turner Gill left the program to take over at Kansas.

Quinn, who is currently the interim coach at Cincinnati and was expected to follow former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly to Notre Dame, will remain with the Bearcats through their Jan. 1 matchup with Florida in the Sugar Bowl.

Quinn will inherit a program that went 20-30 and earned its first Mid-American Conference championship during Gill’s four-year tenure.
