Former Southern Illinois and Minnesota head football coach Jerry Kill is returning to the Salukis' program, but this time as an ambassador for the school he took to five straight Football Championship Subdivision title games.
Kill has dealt with epilepsy his entire career, and the demands of coaching jobs have played a role, including his departure from Minnesota in 2015, when he abruptly retired from coaching.
He then went on to an associate athletic director role for Kansas State in 2016, but returned to coaching shortly after, signing on to be the offensive coordinator at Rutgers for the 2017 season.
