Pat Reusse: Talkin' country is why Minnesotans love Jerry Kill

[BleedGopher]

per Pat:

Kill arrived in December 2010 and started talking with a twang that was pure country. Folks in Fergus Falls and Willmar and Blue Earth said: “The new coach sounds like my grandpa. He’s one of us.’’

It helped that Kill was replacing an over-the-top salesman who had taken the Gophers back to the depths, and there was empathy for Kill’s epilepsy struggle, and he won some in 2014, but we liked him before that.

We liked him because he was country, and at its soul, the greatest appeal of Gophers football is country, too.
