What are they in, year three??? And they still have zero meaningful wins! It is time for this silly-me and his worthless staff to go. They have done nothing under Kill and they never will. The U probably likes it when he flops around on the sideline cause its the only way they can make it into the national news. Take one good look at his face and you can see he is not healthy at all. You would be doing him a favor to fire him. Gopher football sure as hell isn't worth dying for. Of course the University has no balls though so the worthlessness will continue for years to come.

They should give Kill the option of an "Advisory" role or something like that and give his top assistant the head job so the players have a consistent Head Coach. I think his "program" and overall Philosophy is good and his staff seems solid. They still lack the quality players IMO to compete in the Big 10 but they are improved over the recent teams back to Mason whom they should have given a "lifetime" extension to IMO.

Yeah, it is.

If it goes down that way I'm sure some folks will use that as an excuse, but I don't think he will.

If he were to resign at the end of the season, what would he cite as the reason? Are you suggesting that he would say he is just tired of Gopher football and wants to go home? If his health condition is not the reason, what would it be?

Urban Meyer had no problems using "health reasons" for an excuse to skip out of Florida.

I played college football for 5 years and was never once "coached" during a game by my "head coach". It's all about the coordinators and position coaches come game day.

Tell that to anyone who has ever played for Nick Saban.

That's not what you were implying in your original post. But you know that, don't you, and just want to twist this into Big Dave's alternate reality again.

There are 3 good reasons why Kill should step down.

1. For his own health. Obviously the pressure and stress of game day is causing him problems. Time to move on to something less stressful.

2. For the good of the program. His game day seizures will only make a hard recruiting job even harder.

3. He was more than likely going to fail and be replaced within the next 3-4 years anyway. He might as well go out with the mystique of not knowing for sure if he really would have been the only coach in the last 35 years to turn this program around. He can blame it on the seizures and go out with dignity, not how Brewster went out.

It's clearly obvious:

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill takes leave for epilepsy

Paul Myerberg, USA TODAY Sports 4 p.m. EDT October 10, 2013

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill will continue to take time away from the team "to focus on his treatment and better manage his epilepsy," the university said Thursday in a statement, adding that defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys will again act as the Golden Gophers' interim coach until Kill "is ready to return."

Kill missed last weekend's 42-13 loss to Michigan after suffering a seizure early Saturday morning. This was Kill's fifth seizure-related episode since taking the Minnesota job following the 2010 season and second of 2013, with the previous episode occurring just after halftime of the Gophers' win against New Mexico State on Sept. 7.

"Kill will remain in very close contact with the team and his staff and provide direction and support as needed," athletic director Norwood Teague said. "Our support for Coach Kill is unwavering and we look forward to his return to full-time coaching duties.

"This is a great group of student-athletes under the guidance of one of the longest-tenured and most respected staffs in college football, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will continue to move this program forward and make us proud."

While Kill has dealt with epilepsy for more than a decade, going back to his time on the Football Championship Subdivision level, last Saturday marked the first time he had missed an entire game due to the illness.

"Norwood Teague and Coach Kill are managing this health situation, as it relates to our football program, in the most straightforward and caring manner possible," university president Eric Kaler said. "They are acting in the best interests of this University, its alumni and fans and, most importantly, the student-athletes who have placed their trust in us. I eagerly look forward to Coach Kill's return and wish him all the best."

In a statement, Kill called his time away a "difficult decision to make, but the right decision."

"Our staff has been together a long time and I have full confidence in Coach Claeys and them during my time away," he said. "Every decision that will be made will be in the best interest of the players and the program. I look forward to returning to the Minnesota sideline on a full-time basis soon."

Minnesota is 4-2 heading into Saturday's Big Ten road game at Northwestern. Minnesota went 3-9 in 2011, its first season under Kill, but reached the Meineke Car Care Bowl a season ago.

Getting back to you... laugh

Thanks for letting me know the Gophers actually won a big 10 game, I would have never believed it otherwise. Although it was to one of the OTHER Big 10 doormats.

Yep....

One of the other door mats that gave Ohio nothing but trouble, Who must surely be a door mat then also....

It's OK, I knew you would have nothing good to say about the win. I was just wanting to see you type your excuse why they won.... Because we all kow there was no way they'd be able to win in the big 10 without an excuse!

Good Luck!

The Ohio State has not blown out any Big 10 team yet. Maybe they are not as good as some people make them out to be? Wisconsin and Iowa also gave them trouble.

How many more wins do you think the Gophers will get?

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.

      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.

      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      Emerald Shiners for Walleye on LOW

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!
