The Golden Gophers suddenly need a new football coach. Perhaps they'd look to Ohio State for a replacement
An already crazy coaching search season got even more volatile this morning, as Minnesota announced that head coach Jerry Kill would be retiring, effective immediately, due to health concerns. This makes Minnesota the third Big Ten position open, joining Illinois and Maryland, and the eight to open nationally, which is pretty crazy seeing as it isn't even November yet. It isn't a stretch to think that at least 20 FBS head coaching positions could turn over before National Signing Day, depending on what happens with the NFL, and Minnesota, Maryland and Illinois might not be the only Big Ten teams looking for new coaches.
