[BleedGopher]

per Adam Rittenberg's tweets:

"Northern Illinois spokeswoman Donna Turner confirmed to me that coach Jerry Kill will be attending the team banquet tonight."

"Heard Saturday that Kill had emerged as one of the frontrunners for Minnesota job, which should be wrapped up very soon."

Go Gophers!!

Him attending the banquet is a good sign. Thank you for the ray of hope.

Looks like it's about time for the next rumored hire.

 

[LaXGoph]

I would really like the hire. Seems like a great coach.

This will make for an awkward banquet. guess he'll be telling the team hes gone and will then proceed to hop on the plane heading to MN

Total guess, but I would think he would have told his team earlier this morning.

this is weird. I literally wish I could go to sleep and just read the newspaper in the morning like when Wacker was hired. Yargh.
