per Chip:
Kill’s health improved during his year at Kansas State. Ash said he spoke at length with Kill about his health before making the hire.
“That was a big part of the conversations,” said Ash, preparing for his second season at Rutgers. “We couldn’t move forward if he didn’t feel comfortable or I didn’t feel comfortable about his health. He’s in great shape. The time off allowed him to get back into shape. Develop some healthy habits in terms of sleep and eating and things like that. He’s in a great spot right now.”
Kill will try to help Rutgers improve on its 2-10 record last season in the East. The Scarlet Knights are not scheduled to play Kill’s former team until 2019.
Being a coordinator and not head coach might take some adjustment for Kill, who hasn’t served as a coordinator since 1993 at Pittsburg State.
“I’ve never coached on offense before,” Ash said. “I have an idea of what I want it to look like and what I think we need to do to be successful with the players that we have and the division that we play in. But he’s the offensive coordinator. We have a lot of conversations about what we’re going to do and certain things we need to emphasize and personnel decisions. But at the end of the day, Jerry has been hired to run the offense.”
