Ex-Gopher coach Kill says health improving after retirement
Former Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill says his health is improving after his sudden retirement for health reasons.
Appearing Sunday on WCCO-AM's "Sports Huddle," Kill said he started feeling better over the weekend.
Kill tearfully announced Wednesday he couldn't do the job anymore while trying to maintain a healthy life with epilepsy. He told WCCO he continued to have seizures after his news conference, but was seizure-free Friday and Saturday.
Kill still doesn't know what he'll do, but insisted his coaching days are over.
In their first game since Kill's retirement, the Gophers lost to Michigan 29-26 Saturday, getting stopped inside the 1-yard line as the clock ran out. Kill didn't attend the game at TCF Bank Stadium, instead watching it on television at home with his wife, Rebecca.
