Turner Gill remained a familiar face around the Liberty University campus after the 2018 football season.<\/p>\n
The former coach, who unexpectedly retired from coaching not long after the Flames inaugural season at the Football Bowl Subdivision level, was frequently spotted at football practices the following spring; traveled to San Jose, California, to watch the mens basketball team compete in the 2019 NCAA Tournament; and even surprised the football team this past November when the Flames became bowl eligible for the first time.<\/p>\n
Gill will again be a familiar face around campus. He is returning to Liberty in a non-football role as the executive vice president of diversity, development and inclusion, the university announced Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
He will be joined by former Liberty and NFL wide receiver Kelvin Edwards, who was hired as executive vice president of management efficiencies and diversity.<\/p>\n
Gill and Edwards will work closely with Greg Dowell, the universitys vice president for equity and inclusion and chief diversity officer.<\/p>\n
We are honored to have Turner Gill back at Liberty as well as Kelvin Edwards, an alumnus and successful businessman, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. said in a written release. As executive vice presidents, they will help us demonstrate our commitment to reuniting people both Republicans and Democrats who have been divided by the establishment politicians.<\/p>\n
