    Jerry Kill is an asset to the Gopher football program. His staff is long on experience and can offer both Coach Kill and the program the experience and support they need. Nothing would be gained by again changing coaches except to set the Gophs back further in recruiting and developing our players. This program has to build and mature - it's not new coaches we need, it's time! Kill is an enthusiastic and hard working leader who more than makes up for his occasional health interruptions. Go Gophers!

    What if he had asthma? What if he suffered asthma attacks and missed some games, would the U of M let him go? Should he retire then?? What if he had diabetes and got hypoglycemic and had to leave a game, should the U of M let him go. Has this world gone mad???

    I have epilepsy and as one who has the disease I say J. Kill needs to leave his position as the Uof M Gopher football coach. It can take over a year to find the right chemical or surgical combination to control the seizure pattern.

    If J. Kill's epilepsy was under control than by all means have him stay.

    But please no bleeding-hearts from anybody. No pity.

    Everyone who has epilepsy knows the sacrifice they need to make, for awhile.
