The Most Tragic Coach in College Football

I love this video, but as someone who is going to SVSU, the way you pronounce Saginaw is going to drive me insane lol

I was blessed to have Coach Kill as my Head Coach from 2008-2010 at NIU. He changed my life. He demanded everything you had, plus some. Even just being the Long Snapper for the Huskies, it was demanded to have this level of professionalism and reliability both on and off the field. He was so passionate about his team and in particular special teams, that our specialist meetings would be directly with Coach Kill every day. Remind you, he was the Head Coach, that’s unheard of. He helped me develop as a football player to receive votes for the East West shrine bowl, to improving my grades, improving my mindset, and most importantly how to grow up and become a father at the young age of 20. Coach Kill is so much more than a football coach, he is a Leader of Men. I attribute so much of my life’s success to his leadership. God bless Coach Kill!

What Jerry Kill has done with NMSU is more than remarkable might be the greatest Two Year coaching job in the history of the sport.

As a epileptic, I totally understand and support Jerry Kill. When he was in the Big 10 at Minnesota, it felt someone was living my life. I knew exactly what he meant when he exclaimed ' I am not a freak.'

I attended SIU while he was AD there. He used to drive around campus on a golf cart on game days giving kids rides to the stadium or yelling the fight song outside of dorms through a megaphone. His passion was infectious, and he wanted us to love football just as much as he did.

as a Minnesota fan this doc will hit me like a truck

I’ve followed Kill since he was at ESU. He’s always epitomized that working-class ethic. This video does his career justice. Thanks for calling attention to him!

As an alum of New Mexico State, he proved me wrong. I didn't think the Aggies would ever have a winning season two years in a row. Thanks, Jerry.

Man if he didnt have seizures he would be a hall of famer. That is insane.

I never knew before I watched your videos how much I was interested in Kansas centric football but here I am

As a K-State fan, I was somewhat aware of Kill's career at Minnesota, and of his health issues. I was impressed that he was up to taking the Assistant AD job with the Wildcats after his health forced him out at Minnesota. It's truly impressive how much he's accomplished in spite of those issues and equally heart-wrenching to think of what heights he might have risen to with even average health.

I have no idea what your day job is but you are a fantastic story teller. Loved this video. You're like if Jon Bois and Ken Burns had a baby that really loved Bill Snyder. Keep doing what you are doing man. It's great stuff.

Loved Jerry. I was saddened when he took Flecks comments personally, but realizing how much effort he put in, the improvements he made while giving up his health... I can understand why he would take it personally now. Heck, I would have, too. Thank you, Jerry! We're proud to have had you as our lead Gopher.

Another banger from dalukes

30 players hit the transfer portal @NMSU once Coach Kill step down, the impact of 1 man

Legendary TCU interim head coach, Jerry Kill (Gary Patterson's best friend & best man at GP's wedding)

Followed him as of Southern Illinois and am a Gophers fan. He was the most solid coach at Minnesota in generations.

Sag-in-aw your pronunciation killed me 😂😂

Wow man I never heard of this. That man had more courage than most people in the world. God bless him.

As a Liberty fan, we respect Jerry Kill. Great guy.
