Description

When University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill stepped down due to health concerns in October 2015, he said, I cant do what I love doing anymore. What Kill loved doing, and did remarkably well, was turn around college football programs. 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 Years Day bowl game and being named Big Ten Coach of the Year. Kill describes his dedication to his players, how he drove them, and made them into disciplined and inspired football players. Readers will also learn about Kills work to bring awareness to cancer and epilepsy.
