Since 1883 Minnesota has had 31 head football coaches. Let's examine how Jerry Kill stacks up with the other 30.
In 1883 the Philosophy Professor Thomas Peebles, a former football player at Princeton, became Minnesota's first coach. He coached only 1 year and won only 1 game before leaving the U of M to practice law. In its 132 year history Minnesota has had a number of interesting coaches. Edward W. "Dad" Moulton was considered the fastest man in the world in 1891 when he took the Gopher job. Wallie Winter coached for the 1893 season only on the condition he could also referee the games, unsurprisingly his team went undefeated.
