Unfortunately, I tend to agree with you, especially if the stress of the job is contributing to these seizures.

He has to not be on the sidelines...if he cares enough about the university he can't risk having it all end tragically, if you know what I mean.

I believe he just has epilepsy, which to my understanding isn't deadly or anything. It's just a struggle he has to live with.

Heard on the tube that he has a seizure "condition", which could mean a lot of things but I do hope that it's not as serious as it sounds.

Kill, who has epilepsy, has become an advocate recently for those with the affliction.
And this article makes it sound as if it's nothing new. He's had a history of seizures in his coaching career. So it sounds like Minnesota knew what it was getting (or at least should have known).

Looks like Kill is on "shakey ground".


...too soon?
