Jerry Kill hasn’t given himself much of a break since taking over as the new Gophers football coach.
Kill says he’s had one Sunday evening of free time since getting the job at Minnesota in early December.
In assessing the program he was hired to rebuild and talking to current and former players, Kill says he has noted the importance of maintaining stability on the coaching staff. The Gophers haven’t had much of that in recent years.
Both of Kill’s coordinators have been assistants on his staff together for more than a decade. Kill said in an interview in his office Thursday with The Associated Press that if his players “see the same people” over the next five years then the Gophers have “got a good chance.”
