For Coach, Seizures Are Mere Distractions

MINNEAPOLIS — Immediately after Jerry Kill has a seizure on the sideline, one longtime assistant takes over the headset and communicates with officials. The defensive coordinator handles the postgame news conference and splits the remaining news media obligations with the offensive coordinator. Should Kill miss practice, they revert to their schedule from a week earlier, with adjustments based on their next opponent.

Always, Kill returns soon after to his office at the University of Minnesota. The assistants come to work and see him at his desk and nod and head to their own offices, not a word exchanged.

Kill, 52, is a reconstruction specialist, an expert in taking over feeble programs and turning them into something better. He is probably also the only college football coach in the country who has a seizure protocol.

Pretty impressive guy. Also, for a man to GET that kind of loyalty. most times they got to GIVE that kind of loyalty.

Well worth your time to read.

My SIL has epilepsy, and my friend has MS.

I have been through seizures with both.
