Gophers head coach Jerry Kill was released from the hospital on Thursday, five days after suffering a seizure during Minnesota’s home opener against New Mexico State.

There’s no timeline for Gopher football coach Jerry Kill’s return. He checked into the Mayo Clinic to try and find the cause of continuing seizures. He coached from the sidelines during Saturday’s loss to North Dakota State, but suffered another seizure at home on Sunday.

He says most other players and boosters he’s talked to feel the same way.
