Jerry Kill the new Offensive Coordinator?
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Play calling would be a unique skill set I would think.
All I recall was Minnesota suddenly becoming a very tough, physical football team under Kill. They used to be an easy out prior to Kill.
This.
I’m not certain of Kill’s skills related to calling plays, and/or what his approach to offense would be.
I also don’t know if he was more of the CEO-type of head coach that hired and delegated play calling and scheming to his coordinators. If that was the case, that reinforces my question if this type of hire is the right way to go.
As stated by others, I’m hoping JK isn’t the absolute best we can get (i.e. our 1st and 2nd and maybe even 3rd choices declined) … but considering JK does provide for some interesting discussion.

He would decent. If we want significant experience he is probably the best we can get. Definitely more realistic than this Herman nonsense.
The team disintegrated at the end of Claeys tenure. Fleck took over a steaming pile after Claeys was fired. That team had players boycotting a bowl game, 10 players were accused of having a role in a sexual assault. Anything suggesting Fleck took over a built product is just revisionist history.
The more I think about it might be a no to Kill.
Kill was 1.5 years gone. All those problem players were his recruits. In fairness, I do think most (all?) were exonerated by the legal system but believe a number were punished by the school.
But...Kill is no threat to Frost, and he left Minnesota with a good reputation, just health issues.
Football Scoop is reporting something else for Kill. Keep ‘yer powder dry folks.
Sources: New Mexico State expected to make coaching change
Jerry Kill could make his full-time return to head coaching after a 7-year absence, sources say.

I agree with others, not sure what about Kill would have been considered a good hire as an OC. Associate head coach maybe, but not OC.
