Questions for coach Jerry Kill via Dave Mona and the Sports Huddle

[DL65]

Now that the spring drills have been completed, it remains to be seen how long coach Kill will be appearing on the Sports Huddle. He's been on the weekly show for more than a year. Maybe he'll want to take a break, maybe not.

In anycase, if you attended the spring game or any of the open practices, maybe you have a question you'd like answered. If so, please submit a question in this thread for Dave's consideration.

Thanks in advance.

With the Norwood Teague hire => What are the specific things that Coach Kill sees in what he can do for the football program? Overall athletics program. He said some people have "it" and Teague has "it". I am curious what is "it"?????

Now that spring football is over you will need to select the players who will attend fall camp. What is the number that NCAA allows you to have at fall camp? How do you go about selecting these players? Finally, how many players does the NCAA allow you to have on the roster druring the season and how many do you expect to actually have on the roster?

What does Coach Kill hope that Norwood Teague will consider changing about the football game day experience?

What can Teague provide Kill to assist in recruiting? Is it just a matter of increasing the budget? If not, what other specific areas can an AD enhance Kill's ability to recruit?

Are you big on fiery pre game and halftime speeches if needed? If so do you plan what you are going to say or are they off the cuff?

1) In recent weeks, you've said you wish you could have contact with the players following spring drills, during the summer months, and up to the start of fall drills. (Much like the basketball coaches have during their off-season.) Has this been a topic of discussion at the annual football coaches meeting? Have you discussed the matter with Big 10 Conference coaches?

2) Now that spring drill have been completed and you're in the midst of evaluating the players progress in the S&C (weight room) and spring drills, are you considering any position changes for some of the players and will you be making that suggestion to some of the players?

3) You've spoken favorably in recent weeks about the changes in the defensive backfield and speed at the linebacking position. You've said, "We've helped ourselves." What phase or area/position do you see as now needing special attention?
