The University of Minnesota's football program has made big strides under head coach Jerry Kill, and the school rewarded him for that progress Friday.
Kill, who is the reigning Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Minnesota to an 8-5 record in 2014, secured his future Friday by adding another year to his current deal, according to Marcus R. Fuller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Fuller also provided specifics related to the new contract:
Kill, last year's Big Ten coach of the Year, will be under contract through the 2019 season and is expected to get $300,000 raise.
