Another seizure for Jerry Kill
Not to sound cold-hearted or to put a football game or program ahead of a man's health, but I don't see how you can keep this guy at the helm of your program.

Completely sympathetic with this man's challenges. I hope him the best, but you have to question if he's in denial about what affect coaching is having on him.

Sadly I agree.

Ate you suggesting that coaching football is causing his seizures?

RE: Another seizure for Jerry Kill
The stresses of recruiting, film work, and just game planning take a toll on the body. Anyone who has even coached a sport at the high school level knows the time demands that are associated with coaching. I can't image what it does to someone with epilepsy (sp?). Only coach Kill knows how it affects his body, and his ability to do the job. The problem is Minn. can't really fire a coach due to his health, it has to be based upon W-L record. They can encourage him to step down due to health reasons, but firing him for health reasons would create a public backlash they do not want.

I'm saying the stress that coaches at the college level endure could possibly play a part in it, yes.
