If Minnesota has any class they will find a way to keep coach Kill around in the athletic department in some capacity. He brought Minnesota football back to respectability and should be rewarded in some way for that.
 
maybe eventually but right now Kill needs to focus on creating a new routine that puts his health first. That will be hard to do with Minnesota's season still going on. He just needs to step away for awhile.
 
I'm sure Minnesota would love to keep him with the University. It is up to Kill to decide what he can do and when he can do it......
 
Yeah I don't get the OP. He wasn't fired, he stepped down. You know our entitlement society has jumped the shark when poor people cry because millionaires are not given cushy public-sector jobs. Yeah yeah I know. I'm an insensitive jerk.

Minnesota? Class?

No offense to Jerry Kill -- he seems like a decent enough fellow -- but let me remind you that is the university whose director of athletics had to resign after being accused of sexually harassing two university employees, including sending sexually explicit texts to one of them. That's also the school that hired little Richie Pitino, progeny of a D1 basketball head coach accused of knowing about hookers being hired to play host to recruits and family members.

To play devil's advocate for a second...the one thing I don't like about what Kill did was that all of his assistants who have have followed him around from team to team now have their careers and lives up in the air as well. I'm sure they will get picked up elsewhere or stay on at Minnesota, but that's a lot of careers and a lot of families that are suddenly uprooted. I suppose you could say it was their decision to hitch their wagon to Kill's truck and you would be correct on that.

And before I get flamed, I'll remind everyone that Kill chose to stop taking his doctor prescribed medicine...which caused his problems to resurface.
 
Kill's contract specifies that he is hired as a Special Assistant to the AD for $250k per year.

Kill has given his faithful assistants a more stable career situation than most CFB assistants have. You've been spoiled by Kirk giving his guys THE most stable career situation a college assistant can have.
 
I liked Jerry Kill and enjoyed watching his football show. IMO, the guy new his stuff.

I'm just wondering what the side affects/risk were from that medication. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that they may have been more than he could deal with.

My guess is that Kill stopped taking his meds because it was affecting his ability to coach, at least how he felt it was necessary to coach the team. But not taking his meds also affected his ability to coach. Tough situation for him, and for all involved.
 
KILL: “My dr told me...if i didn’t move on with my life I may be a guy that don’t think too good down the road. I want to be able to think"

He tweeted this to KFAN the other day.
