The college football world lost a good dude on Wednesday. Although Jerry Kill is very much alive, the lovable Minnesota coach is stepping away due to health concerns.
The fifth-year coach conducted a press conference on Wednesday morning and it was heavy duty. His opening and closing statements are guaranteed to make you reach for a Kleenex:
"This is a tough moment for me and our players, our coaches."
