Minnesota Coach Jerry Kill will miss game at Michigan

It’s tough to keep reporting this, but another seizure has forced Minnesota Coach Jerry Kill to miss Saturday’s game at Michigan.

Minnesota’s athletic department reported Kill did not accompany his team to Ann Arbor after feeling ill Friday. He was going to join his players and staff Saturday morning but suffered a
seizure Saturday morning.

“Coach Kill has been in contact with his staff today and defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys will serve
as Minnesota’s acting head coach from the press box,” the school said in a statement.

This is Kill’s fifth seizure since becoming Minnesota’s coach in 2011. The last one occurred on Sept. 14 at halftime of the Gophers’ game against Western Illinois.
