Reusse predicts Kill will be feeling good and head coaching in 2017

Donate To GopherHole

If Kill really wants to coach again, I think he has two options:

Serve as an assistant or consultant at a D1 level school -

or take a head coaching job at a D3 level school or a JUCO.

The big question - can Kill swallow his ego to be somebody else's assistant - or to be a head coach at a lower-level program.

If, as he says, he wants to be "around the kids," then I think a D3 or JUCO would be perfect. It's still coaching, but with less scrutiny and hopefully less stress than a big-money D1 program. Time will tell.
 

Anyone who thinks coaching at a lower level would be any less stressful to JK or that he would approach it any differently than coaching at the U just doesn't understand Jerry Kill.

Ditto.
 

wait!what? said:
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.

Reusse predicts he'll be uglier tomorrow than he is today. I predict the sun will come up tomorrow.

Why are people even posting Reusse stuff in Gopherhole? He has said many times he dislikes Gopher Football.

Where did this "Kill is so intense or work so hard" stuff come from?

He's no different in that regard than Brew, Mason, Bielema (other than being sober), Alavarez or any other coach I have watched in action.

Being a D1 coach is stressful in itself and Kills condition doesn't allow him to handle it as well as the others (IMO).

My observations were in games the gophers lost to opponents....insert the Dakotas or Mid major (embarrassing loses) Kill had seizures. Same thing with losing seasons.

The stress seemed to cause the seizures, not the working so hard (IMO).

I don't disagree with your conclusion. However, saying he works just like those other coaches you listed would only confirm he works hard, not dispute it. I never said he works "harder", just that his personality (and likely that of the others listed) wouldn't allow him to "relax" if he was a coach at a lower level.

I think Spoofin was trying to say that Kill is a very intense and emotional person who was extremely bothered by losses and who couldn't get step away from the game even when he was at home. People who are like that usually have a hard time getting a good nights sleep. Undoubtedly, Kill's personality has a negative impact on his seizures.

I heard Tracy Claeys on Reusse's show last week say that he was just the opposite of Kill in that way. Tracy said that when he is at home he doesn't talk or think about football and almost always gets a good night's sleep. He added that he forgets about losses very quickly. Tracy seems to have a similar personality as Mason. Let's hope he doesn't get as used to losing as Mason did.

From his own words that he works tirelessly with very little sleep working many hours a week. He has said he would rather do the work himself than delegate and get better rest. Part of the stress caused siezures was due to the lack of sleep and endless hours he put in. Kill has said this all himself. He is very different than Brew and Mason. If you arent able to tell the difference you are in the minority here. Kill would not find relief from this even at the mid major level.

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.

Yeah thats undoubtably one of the most illogical conspiracy theories I've ever heard.

The myth of Kill. The only difference for him is has health issues.

Ha thats a laugh. Lets not get side tracked into a comparison of coaches though. Its pretty well documented that Kill never took a day off unless he was forced to.

I wasn't trying to be argumentative, my point was I didn't see Kill being any different (work ethic wise) than the other coaches I have observed. But that's just my opinion.[emoji3]

i think the point is that most college coaches are more like Jerry Kill than Steve Spurrier.
 

I would disagree. A few are but the ones he listed i wouldnt put in that catagory.
 

If only Kill would've shown up to pro day in 2012...

You have no idea how many hours those other coaches worked. Some just do the work and don't feel the need to tell everyone how hard they are working.

Its well known mason was a lazy recruiter and that kill got as little as 2-4 hours of sleep at night due to work. I just dont believe kill would find less stress unless he went below fcs level.

You have no idea how hard Mason worked/recruited. Just because this gets regurgitated by other posters on here doesn't mean it is true. You also have no idea how hard or the hours worked by any of the other coaches mentioned work do you?

I think we are getting off topic here but his recruiting spoke for itself as did he when he stated he didnt go after higher rated recruits.

Bingo! This is what pops into my head with every post from sportsfan24 regarding Kill.

True that Sportsfan doesn't like Kill. I doubt he would deny it. However, he has a different and real perspective than the rest of us when it comes to Kill. I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss it because it doesn't fit your image of Kill. It doesn't fit mine either, BTW.
