When University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill stepped down due to health concerns in October 2015, he said, “I can’t do what I love doing anymore.” What Kill loved doing, and did remarkably well, was turn around college football programs. Kill describes his dedication to his players, how he drove them, and made them into disciplined and inspired football players. In this book Coach Kill shares for the first time his inspirational, thought-provoking, and heartwarming story, from his early years playing for and working under Dennis Franchione to guiding the Gophers to a New Year’s Day bowl game and being named Big Ten Coach of the Year. Readers will also learn about Kill’s work to bring awareness to cancer and epilepsy.
Fun But Powerful Story from Memorable Football Coach Kevin M. Derby Jerry Kill has built a reputation as one of the masters of rebuilding college football teams but he is far more than that. An epileptic who suffered seizures on the sidelines and a cancer survivor, Kill offers an inspiring and engaging tale in “Chasing Dreams.” Covering his childhood in Kansas to his time on the sidelines, Kill looks over his years at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois, Minnesota and other programs as he build a team of assistant coaches who stayed with him and turned programs around. Even though he offers a serious message, Kill doesn’t take him. "I know the person receiving this gift will love as he is a big Gopher fan" according to Amazon Customer.
