So the Gophers are 6-1 and probably the hottest team in college football that hasn't cracked the Associated Press Top 25.
And Michigan is struggling enough that coach Brady Hoke is seen to be in trouble.
Enter the speculators.
On the Sports Illustrated web site this morning, it was noted that "speculation season" in college football is beginning -- and that it includes the head coaching jobs at Florida and Michigan.
And, about Michigan, writers Pete Thamel and Thayer Evans include this:
"Jerry Kill would be a wonderful fit in Ann Arbor, as all he’s done is win at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois and now Minnesota. Kill’s epilepsy, which caused him to miss a handful of weeks during the 2013 season, could hurt his candidacy. After that, there are not a lot of obvious names. One wildcard scenario is that Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long takes the AD job if it opens and brings Bret Bielema with him. Other AD candidates could include UConn’s Warde Manuel and Boston College’s Brad Bates."
That's four coaching names -- and an athletic director overhaul -- in 80 words. So there's your context..

If you read the entire piece, you'll see it concludes: "Kill isn't a serious candidate for the Michigan job no matter what the media says in the coming weeks."




Maximus: "And that hasn't happened for 30 years here."
 

Good blog post by the writer.

And now the GH will be the source of further "Kill to Michigan" rumors. This is how it happens.
 


Jerry's private jet was just seen landing in Ann Arbor.
 



Saw Jerry having a dog at the Vu and he was wearing a michigan shirt.
 


Kill foretold his move when he thanked the doctor in Grand Rapids. This has been in the works since he was originally referred to the doctor.

He's obviously going to be the next head coach of the Grand Rapids Community College Raiders. They don't even have football, but he'll get that started right up.
