From College Football News, a list of 15 coaches who "do more with less." There are six B1G coaches on the list, including Jerry Kill at #13 (TCU's Patterson is at #2).
13. Jerry Kill, Minnesota
Kill is a working class guy who continuously produces working class results.
Kill is unassuming. In fact, he’s best known nationally for the sporadic health issues with which he’s had to deal. But despite staring down kidney cancer and epilepsy, Kill continues to be the ultimate fixer-upper at remote stops like Saginaw Valley State, Emporia State, Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois and now Minnesota. With the Gophers, he’s never going to beat out Ohio State, Michigan or Michigan State for the Midwest’s better prospects. And yet his team has won eight games in back-to-back years by maximizing the ability of both the players and the assistant coaches, like defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys.
