per Joe:
That didn’t take long. The Big Ten regular season ended Saturday, Nebraska fired Bo Pelini on Sunday morning, and by midafternoon, Gophers coach Jerry Kill was featured prominently on FoxSports.com, CBSSports.com and ESPN.com as a potential Cornhuskers candidate.
Now, to be clear, that’s just media speculation.
But Kill, 53, is a Kansas native who has spent 30 years climbing the ladder, turning around programs at each stop, including a Gophers team that has two consecutive victories over Nebraska. So it makes sense for the Cornhuskers to take a good look at him.
Kansas and Florida have openings, too, and Michigan is expected to fire Brady Hoke soon. The coaching carousel is turning fast, and that story line will linger while the Gophers get ready for their bowl game.
When asked about the Michigan speculation six weeks ago, Kill said: “I’ve said all along, this is my home. And as long as people want me in this home, I’m in good shape.”
