PISCATAWAY, NJ- (Kelly Whiteside, New York Times. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an except below.)
Jerry Kill knew he was headed down a familiar path. Kill, the Rutgers offensive coordinator, acknowledged as much on a lunchtime walk around the Scarlet Knights’ football stadium two weeks ago.
“I know I’m sliding a little bit,” Kill said as the path dipped near the south gate. “I’ll just be honest with you. I’ve got to get back in a routine or I’m going to be in trouble again.”
Two years ago, Kill left his job as Minnesota’s coach midway through the season, debilitated by epileptic seizures. Away from the game, without the 18-hour work days and the daily stress of rebuilding a program, his health improved. On a low-carb diet, he lost 25 pounds, walked daily and slept more. He even meditated. More than a year and a half passed without another seizure.
