In The Great Gatsby, narrator Nick Carraway describes the main character, Jay Gatbsy, early on in the story as possessing “a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.”
Sub “romantic readiness” for “obsession with full back screen passes” and you have football coach Ron Turner.
Make that now on-the-market football coach Ron Turner.
According to multiple outlets, Florida International University have relieved Turner of his duties Sunday. This comes the day after FIU fell to 0-4 this season with a 53-14 loss to Central Florida. FIU is just 13-40 over their last 53 games.
Thus the current misery present in both Chicago Bears and Illini football has now also spread to former Illini and Bears personnel. Ron Turner was head coach of the Illinois Fighting Illini 1997-2004, and Offensive coordinator for the Bears for two separate stints (1993-1996, 2005-2009)
