I know not everyone has ESPN Insider, but Travis Haney is ranking the coaches in each power conference based on program stability. He lists Kill at #10 of 14 (in front of only Beckman, Ferentz, Hazell, and Wilson). Personally, I can't wait until that season opening game in St. Paul.
"10. Jerry Kill, Minnesota
Record at school: 25-26 (fifth season)
Kill just might be the most universally liked and respected guy among the coaching fraternity. Peers have been troubled by his bouts with seizures, something that was not an issue last fall and has hopefully subsided.
The head coach’s health remains a legitimate factor in the stability of the program, as evidenced by the adversity the 2013 team endured to win eight games despite Kill taking a leave of absence.
As long as he’s OK, Minnesota will remain a tough out in the Big Ten West. The 2015 season is no exception. TCU should be on high alert for a physical challenge in the season opener in St. Paul."
