Wtf happened? Kill abandons SIU!
He took a job as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech. He said (basically) that it was too good an opportunity to pass up, to go back to what he loves.
i hate it. And i don't know how we're going to find someone as good as him to replace him, either.
well, this leaves Hill in a precarious situation.

After watching the game Saturday, you are correct, Hill is in a precarious situation.
Hill hasn't proven to me he's ready to be a HC. Team was absolutely unprepared mentally or physically for that game Saturday - tons of stupid mistakes and miscues in the 1st qtr. With better talent, we eventually smoked them. I'm afraid we'll get clocked in the MVC.
No search. Just hired Jarnigan. Hope I'm wrong, but I think that's just stupid.
aside from the whole not winning thing, i'm sure the new AD would like to make her own hire.

I respectfully can't agree or disagree with you. Losing your QB in the first series can throw a group into a little tailspin mentally. Takes a series or two to pull out of it. And the coaching staff prepared a game plan for one guy, and then had to audible at the very beginning of the game. Remember Nick has never called plays for Lyles in a game before. I thought the coaching staff made some pretty good adjustments.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
Does Kill actually know what he wants to do? As much as he has jumped around and got in and out of football, it seems like he can’t decide what he wants.
Sure he does
in a few weeks after Va Tech fires their coach he will take over
Kill is about himself. It took a long time for some of us, myself included, to see it. I find it funny he bashed PJ Fleck for doing the exact same things he did.
I credit him for clearly upgrading the hires in coaching and the Banterra deal among other things. That said, the shortness of his tenure is going to be problematic. Liz Jarnigan deserves a shot at being permanent AD. Problem is, a new President and new Chancellor is going to want to bring in one of their own to be the next AD.
Ultimately, some stability is needed at SIU. This doesn’t aid that. How would you feel if you were one of the people who moved to Carbondale, uprooting your family to come to a place that isn’t exactly in the middle of it all, and your boss just up and left Carbondale in the middle of the night?
This isn't good.
--Insert something witty here--
For all of the Killer's faults, I hope in a couple of years we don't realize we were better off with him than without.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
I. TOLD. YOU. SO.
Don't let the door hit you in the arse Jerry.
I hope we sue HIM for breach this time. Beat him to the lawsuit this time.
Almighty Jerry Kill had his foot out the door when he accepted the job just a few short months ago. Real classy. Real ethical. Real Kill.
I think Barkeep has a crystal ball. Kill gives Justin Fuente the Bell treatment.
Craving a McBride Special!
