Bob Cancro: Hmm. We-l-l-l. Ya know.... And then there’s.... Uhhh....
Jerry Kill is a former Big Ten Coach of the Year. He is well respected as a coach. He brings maturity to a staff that is rather young/inexperienced. But he hasn’t actually called plays in over two decades and he had serious health issues that caused him to “retire” from coaching, though that seems to be under control. His offenses with the Gophers were not eye-popping and record-setting. He may have been the only coach to actually interview with Ash and he has the same agent as Hobbs, Ash, and Pikiell, making it sound more like a typical New Jersey no-bid contract than a transparent interview process.
