Jerry Kill suffered seizure after the game

[Deleted_User]

Clearly my dad should search the internet rather than rely on his years of expertise. Dean S to the rescue!

Kill has an idiopathic seizure disorder. He doesn't have any tumors or brain lesions, he publicized the battery of tests that he went through last season.

Regardless of what you think, I doubt it's even legal to relieve Coach Kill of his duties due to this disorder. He'd have to leave on his own accord. I don't think he should.

I predict that the coach will have a seizure during or immediately after a game again this season where the Gophers are close to losing/winning. I am not a neurologist but history shows me that Jerry Kill at Minnesota produces seizures around game time during high coaching stress, while he must be at his peak mental performance. That isn't a medical bet. It is based on historical analysis.

Historical analysis concludes that Jerry Kill never has seizures after wins at Minnesota. Thus, it provides him even more motivation to lead us to victories!

This is my final post about Jerry Kill's health on GopherHole.com. It really should be none of my business.

Yup, the below career record clearly shows that this disorder has affected Kill's ability to recruit and coach his teams. Some of you people are unfreakinbelievable!

Will he miss practice this week?

When you are trying to turn around a bottom 2 program in the conference, it helps to be at practice.

I would have rather hired a younger healthier coach. But now that we have Kill we should just make the best of it. If he isn't going to miss time, I don't see it as a big deal. If he is going to miss time, at some point it becomes a problem. It is definitely a distraction.

What I find so incredible is your positive and supportive attitude. Your all heart!

Cognitive loss is associated with IGE. Does the poster with the Mayo Neurologist connection want to comment on that other than trying to belittle the question or the questioner.

If you are going to make a statement implying that Coach Kill or anyone else could be suffering from a complication of this or any other disease, you ought to have some indication to back it up. Better yet, you should show a bit of common decency.

Almost any illness or condition has complications that can be severe. For example, it is possible that a number (a very large number) of coaches in the NCAA and NFL have suffered multiple concussions. Guess what concussions can lead to? Guess we better list all of the known coaches with a concussion history and keep an eye on them for signs of impairment.

Your tactics in this argument have become revolting.

I think it is reprehensible and irresponsible for a society to reward human behavior that inflicts harm on others. If we pressure Jerry Kill to win football games and it triggers a seizure, well damn us all for being so inhumane.

Then you must think that football itself is reprehensible. Football players get injured. If they didn't play football, they wouldn't get these injuries. And yet we cheer for football. Risk is part of life. NASCAR? Risky. Much safer only to drive a Volvo on city streets. Mountain climbing? Risky. Walking across a nice flat path is safer. Swimming is risky. A sponge bath would be safer. Those badmitton rackets could cause an injury. Tug of war could lead to some nasty rope burns.

Then again, it should be remembered that he is going to have seizures anyway. And seizures don't have time-travel properties; a seizure after the game can't affect them game that was played before the seizure. The only person who pressured Jerry Kill to win football games is Jerry Kill.

Then again, it should be remembered that he is going to have seizures anyway.

His job and the way he performs increases the risk of seizures. Maybe collapsing and being rushed to the hospital near the end of, or just after the first home loss in both seasons he's been in the Twin Cities (check the history before he arrived here as well) is just a coincidence. Nonetheless, it's clear that stress and lack of rest are triggers for many people.

You seem to be implying that his job has no impact on his health, which I can't agree with.

And seizures don't have time-travel properties; a seizure after the game can't affect them game that was played before the seizure.

A seizure before a game and missing time because you're stuck in the hospital or all bruised up and feeling like crap because of an episode does affect games that will be played. You know that - If things are so smooth and perfect when he's gone, then why even have a head coach?

If you don't mind the coach having an on going health issue that is going to affect team preparation and recruiting, that's fine... but the arguments of repeated trips to the hospital being a complete non-issue are waaay out there.

 

[RodentRampage]

All I am saying is that the impact of coaching on his seizures, the impact of the seizures on his health and the impact of his seizures on the team are seriously exaggerated.

Sansevere’s Huddle: Should seizures endanger Jerry Kill’s job?

Gophers football coach Jerry Kill suffered a seizure after the Gophers’ loss to Northwestern. Gophers beat writer Marcus Fuller joins Pioneer Press sports columnist Bob Sansevere and TwinCities.com sports web producer Kevin Cusick to discuss whether Kill’s job could, or should, be in jeopardy. They also hash out whether Max Shortell is the solution at quarterback when starter MarQueis Gray is dealing with an injury. Join them in the latest Sansevere Huddle.
