I've followed Coach Kill's career since his SIU days and always thought he was sort of like Beilein...capable of winning at all levels and building/developing/retaining a great staff. While I'm sure these aren't the circumstances he wished to retire under, he can look back fondly at a long and successful career.

I know that there are a lot of other factors that could be at work: age, other health issues. BUT it is notable that before he took the Minnesota job his stress and health were more manageable. Being the head coach at a top tier program is stressful.

Did something happen in the last few days, like another seizure or something related?

Either way, that really sucks. He seemed like he was great for Minnesota, but there are some things in life that are far more important than football. Have to take care of yourself and your family's well-being before anything else.

Enjoy a stress-free retirement my friend. You've earned it.

I'm excited to hear Coach Kill on TV in the future, he's probably got a ton of great insights from 5 levels of college head coaching experience

Health is a fundamental factor in our life because i think a single moment which we spent in our life is totally depend on our fitness and health level, if the level of health is less than happiness is also less as well as low chances to achieve the goal which you have to achieve in your life. As i have read that our ancestors make the use of plant and herbs for physicial and mental fitness and if we compared us than we see that they the best in fitness. So, we should also use the herbs and plants in food or curing diseases like mardana kamzori ilaj desiherbal.info/mardana-kamzori. The strong effect of St John's wort has also been demonstrated in a recent study. The strong herb could be used not only for depression, but also for cancer prevention, as researchers at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin have stated. St. John's wort, or some of its ingredients, protect against the environmental toxin benzpyrene, which occurs in car exhaust gases and which is converted into a carcinogenic substance in the body. Thanks for updating us with the news.
