We should lock him and Doogie in a room together and they can just Hot Take back and forth.
 

That would be great for Jerry...

Let's just hope the Gophers have the season many of us expect them to have and our staff remains here being well paid, versus joining Jerry again after being without jobs. Welcoming an entire new group of coaches to Minnesota and starting over again for the Gophers is not my wish. I'm sure Jerry wants to coach. Hopefully, he is able to.

I hope he is right. I'd love coach Kill to be healthy and feeling good.

I want all of those things as well, but I'm not sure why he would decide to coach at this level again when he determined here at the U that he couldn't do it anymore and be healthy. What changed?

It would probably have to be at a smaller school where there would be less pressure. From an AD standpoint I can't see anyone outside of smaller conferences looking at Kill's history and giving him a chance with the fear that he will have to step down mid season again.
 



What is a scalding hot take?

The bolded part may seem logical, but does not apply here. Jerry Kill wouldn't "take it easy" even if he was coaching a HS team. He doesn't know any other way to do anything other than the way he coached when here. JK could buy a Subway franchise and he would work himself into the ground. It would be the best run, most efficient Subway in the whole damn Country, but he would still work 60-hour weeks trying to make it better.

I wouldn't be surprised if he coaches again. Odds are pretty good he will end up having to give it up again too.
 

In either event, this whole story (as reported) does not quite add up for me yet.

Maybe I'm being too suspicious.
 




Who would even hire him at this point given the health issues?

Certainly no school with even a slightly respectable program.

He would only allow one type of bread, white, with three toppings. Then at the end of the year he finds out that there is a Subway in Wisconsin that is actually better run. He quits, turns it over to his long time sandwich artist ,Tracey Claeys, who causes a huge controversy by allowing wheat bread.
He goes on the Jared diet, minus the child porn, loses 250 lbs and gets hired away by a Subway closer to the ingredient sources.

I'm genuinely curious which parts don't make sense to you. For lack of a better term, the guy looked like a dead man walking when he announced his retirement. If he was operating like that the few weeks prior, I totally understand why he hung it up. The whole story, as sad as it was, made complete sense to me.

I think stud55 is saying that JK took the extension bonus and raise and then used the health concern toend the contract without financial penalty. Why? cuz JK is gonna be accepting a HC job in 2017 for 3 mill/yr.

Agree. I doubt any school in the big, sec, 12, pac, or even mac or mw would. Possibly fcs but not likely there either.

I think Jerry Kill has more integrity than that.

Go back and watch the video from his announcement again. He might have some acting ability but probably not Oscar worthy.

If that was his plan, it is the worst scheme I've ever heard of.

He goes out in the middle of a down season.
He triples a potential school's concern about his health.
He quits on the eve of his easiest schedule.

If that was his plan, he's insanely stupid.

I don't think Jerry Kill is insanely stupid.

And yet that's basically what everyone believes Urban Meyer did.
 

Fatrick was on the radio this morning and is still saying he thinks Kill will coach again and thinks in the MAC since he can go 6-6 and not get fired. I still say not likely since due to his record and experience the school would gave higher expectations from him and Kill will put expectations on himself too. Even at that level the pressure would be too much for him and most schools know this as well and would not lilely hire him.

Um ... Urban doesn't have a history of seizures. At least I never saw anything by Souhan saying Urban needed to quit.
 

Jerry Kill will never head coach again in Power 5. End of discussion.
 

Reusse is the perfect example of someone who has never managed anything and has no idea what it takes.

Managing just looks way too easy to him.

I mean it's MAC football, who could have any worries or stress about that?

The difference being that Urban Meyer is widely considered to be one of the greatest coaches in the history of the game, and already had multiple national titles to his credit when he quit at Florida. He knew that he would have his pick of any major job in the country (the Penn State boards still absolutely swear on their children that he would have succeeded JoePa if the Sandusky scandal hadn't broken precisely when it did).

Kill doesn't exactly have that type of bargaining power. Urban also didn't have a history of needing to be stretchered off of the sideline during games, and missing large chunks of multiple seasons due to his health issues.

Exactly. Pat trolling again. Don't see JK ever coaching at a top level again, too risky. He'll be in a booth like Mason making good $$, and making speeches.
