The guy is more honest than I would be in that situation.

I'm not sure I'd be any less honest. Let's face it, the program IS bare. Tempering expectations is good. Given that "It's a process." is already taken by a local team, he can't use that. But people excited about Weis shouldn't be expecting BCS bowls any time soon.
I'm not much of a bullshitter, but I can see where a little honesty goes a long way. Particularly since the only thing we've had to talk about the last few weeks is speculation.

So maybe he just let 'em do their own thing. It appears his approach was to try to teach them the correct path and convince them that he trusts them to do the right thing.
Y'know what? Turner Gill sounds like a new-age parent. Y'know the type, the Dr. Spock sandal-wearers that believe raising your voice to a child breeds violence or something. (Must. not. make. Lawrence. joke....trying. not. to. troll....)
Seems like hippy paternalism has failed pretty mightily here. Sometimes an ass-kicking is in order, Turner.

Unfortunately, that is precisely why Gill was hired. We were saddled with this bag of rabid rat shit because Mangino was "mean". As blatantly dumb as it is, IMO KU did what every other program does, is go to the polar opposite, when some moderation is usually the correct answer. Although most teams go from offense to defense. KU goes from "mean" to soft bitch.
That whole series of events just makes me ****ing sick.
