MEET THE TEAM
Turner Gill
CEO
Turner is a retired DI head football coach with stops at Buffalo, Kansas, and Liberty. Outside of his 13-year head coaching career, he was an assistant coach and administrator for 19 years in both college and the NFL. His resume includes:
- 3 National Championships as an assistant @ Nebraska
- Coaching Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch and runner-up Heisman finalist Tommie Frazier
- Winning the MAC Championship at Buffalo, taking the team from 119th out of 119 teams to 39th in just 3 years
- Being at least conference or co-conference champions for 4 out of the first 5 years at Liberty then led the transition from FCS to FBS
- Taking Liberty to their first FCS playoff, earning their first and only playoff win in school history
Since retiring, Turner has become a consultant to college coaches. The same problems kept popping up in nearly every conversation: “it’s difficult to get to know our players” and “they spend more time on their phones than talking to each other.” The idea for Posse was then born.
Gayle Gill
HEAD OF PRODUCT
Gayle is instrumental in providing research and understanding into the motivation for participation in the app. She graduated from the University of Nebraska with her B.A in Psychology and Communications, and gained her M.S. in the Interdisciplinary studies of Clinical Psychology and Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas. Her emphasis is on helping with the prevention of many mental health issues - alleviating social anxiety and eliminating isolation that can happen in a team setting - rather than just treating or measuring them after they show up.
Gayle is Turner's wife and knows the world of coaching through spending her year years loving on and praying for the players behind the scenes. This experience allows her to shape the product's current and future features. Her ideal is that teams will once more become families, sharing their stories and bonding through their similarities.
