Well Coach Kill tell us how you really feel. Hearing all these bad things about the team makes me wonder what this team would be like if Brew hadnt been fired. Would half the team be eligible?? The way it sounds nobody cared about academics, way too many Jewan Edwards like players on the team or something. I cant wait until we start hearing some positives about the team. Maybe after some actual practices, Coach will let us know who stands out at certain positions, there is talent on this team. Kinda getting tired hearing about how terrible they are.

So...I'm guessing this guy was banned not too long ago?? Taken from the PP comment section of the article. I usually try not to read the comment section of the PP or the Strib, but I couldn't help myself. Man, some of those people are miserable tools.

22 min ago Use common sense; did any of you really think a kid with an Einstein like mind and a work ethic that would lead to success anywhere he went would be taken in by brewsterblather? I know..I know..the gopherholers were, but you could sell that crew used toilet paper......

JK has been the coach only 3-4 months and he is already talking about "taking a step back" and getting fired by doing things "his way."
Wow....
He knows he will fail here..just setting himself up to keep the checks coming in as long as possible!
Kill should be happy he didn't get the team in the condition Brewster did a few years ago. We have much more talent on this team now then we did when Brewster took over.
Look at the linebacker position for one example.
Kill talks as if he has completely nothing and people lap it up like thirsty puppies. In my book we should finish .500 this year or Kill did a poor coaching job. And that's not asking very much at all.

I agree that there is more talent than what Mason left, but I would also argue that the talent has not been utilized/coached/trained well, and it will take some time to train these guys to do things his way.

In three plus years how many guys were ruled academically ineligible? No BS being slung around the team now. No sir.
Did you forget the fact that Brew inherited a bowl team and promptly went 1-11 his first season?
Kill is starting with a team that went 3-9. "Expecting" .500 in year one is a bit of a stretch.
I'll pay the role of Buzz Killington here...
How do you know it's not BS? How do you know Kill isn't just saying these things to hedge his bet in case he underperforms the next couple of years?
The thing is...you don't know. 4 years ago, we could take these over-the-top positive message board posts about Kill and just do a find/replace with Brewster's name and you wouldn't have known a difference.
I guess I'm just tired of the "Rah, Rah! Kill is amazing and everything we could have wished for" line because I saw the exact same thing with Brewster 4 years ago. I'll admit...I was hook, line, and sinker with Brewster. I'm not making that mistake again. No way. I have no optimism until Coach Kill actually coaches some games. As far as I'm concerned, Kill is just playing to the crowd with his words because he knows we want the anti-Brewster. Call me a cynic but I'm withholding all judgement until I actually see the product on the field. For now, his words are (and should be) completely empty and meaningless to me.

why some don't believe Kill when he says what he says is beyond me. there is still this notion by many that there is talent all over the roster. there was a reason Minnesota was picked to win 2 games last year. they were able to get to 3 wins and with another new system and not the Coach's type of recruits in the system yet there is a lot of work to do. this just isn't a reload type of roster.
IMO they will be far better coached but that might not translate this first year in a overall better record.
I think that after kill went to Murray Warmath's funeral and talked to more of Murrays playeers, it just reinforced his attitude!!
