The internet was a buzz regarding potential coaching rumors to replace ousted Minnesota coach Tim Brewster. It appears the university has tempered those rumors and will name Northern Illinois’ Jerry Kill as the next head coach of the Golden Gophers on Monday. Kill, who is coming off of a 10-3 season and a 34-23 win over Minnesota back in September, had much success at Northern Illinois amassing a 23-16 record and 3 bowl appearance during his 3 seasons at NIU.
Kill has a proven track record as a head coach and will certainly provide the Golden Gophers a much needed spark for both the players and fans.
