This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Quinn has been a head coach at the FBS level by tf86

When Kelly left Cincinnati for ND, Quinn was the interim head coach before Butch Jones took over. In the same coaching carousel, Turner Gill left Buffalo for Kansas, and Quinn replaced Gill at Buffalo.

Now clearly, Cincinnati is a better coaching job than Buffalo, so that progression appears a bit confusing. I'm not 100% sure about the details, but my best guess would be that either: (a) Quinn already had agreed to take the Buffalo job before Kelly took the ND job (although remember, Tom Herman reportedly had agreed to the LSU job before Texas offered, then reneged on LSU once he got the Texas offer); or, more likely, (b) Quinn had been told that he would not receive the permanent HC job at Cincinnati, and began looking elsewhere.

Quinn didn't do very well at Buffalo, and eventually was fired there. At that time, he probably hooked up with Kelly again. Certainly understandable, given the circumstances.
