per Sherman:
Who in the league possesses the characteristics to excel in a way similar to Ryan? Here are my top three picks, in no particular order:
Jerry Kill: The 53-year-old Minnesota coach took over four years ago, so he got a jump on the Ryan path. Like Ryan, Kill paid his dues at the lower levels, working at Saginaw Valley State, Emporia State, Southern Illinois and Northern Illinois before his arrival in Minneapolis. His deliberate style, with an emphasis on defense, resembles Ryan's coaching blueprint. And similar to Ryan, who failed to get past the second round of the NCAA tournament in his first three trips at Wisconsin, Kill is winless in three bowl games with the Gophers. Perhaps a breakthrough is coming.
