Jerry Kill, once the poster bulldog of stubbornness in terms of ignoring his health for the betterment of coaching his football team, has been seizure-free for 14 months.
“I’ve lost 20 pounds,” said Kill, the former Gophers coach. “I’m on a diet that seizure patients have. I’m exercising every day. I’m totally different than I was a year ago just because I had time to go take care of myself.”
And all that 24/7 stress? Gone. The 365-day work year? Gone. Fighting the modern-day knee-jerk hiring and firing of coaches? Gone.
That has to be the happiest feeling ever, right Jerry?
