PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- A little more than a year after walking away from the head coaching job at Minnesota because of his health, Jerry Kill is coming back to college football.Kill on Monday was named the offensive coordinator at Rutgers and handed the challenge of rebuilding what might have been the worst offense in the Big Ten Conference.The 55-year-old Kill is coming to his new job 25 pounds lighter, taking less medication for his epilepsy and ready to help Chris Ash rebuild a Scarlet Knights program that went 2-10 last season, losing its last nine games, all in the conference.In coaching, you never have a chance to get something fixed or get it under control because you cant take time off to do that, Kill said after being introduced at his new job. I needed some time to get it situated and see the right people and get on the right diet and get on the right regime and be able to get healthy.Kill had served as the associate athletics director for administration at Kansas State since May. His role was the chief administrator for the universitys football program, and in that role he worked 12-13 hour days, attending practice daily.Im a football coach. Im a ball coach, Kill said. Thats who I am. I enjoy kids. I enjoy that process. Im a lot smarter than I was a year ago, but more importantly Ive been seizure-free for a long time and this is the best Ive felt over 12 years.Kill will replace Drew Mehringer, who left after one season to join Tom Hermans staff at Texas.In his search for a new coordinator, Ash was looking for an experienced coach who was a leader and developer of coaches and players. He also wanted someone with character that could connect with the players and someone who was compatible with him.Coach Kill is an absolute ball coach, Ash said. Doesnt have a lot of other hobbies, likes and interests. Its all about coaching ball and developing the players.The Big Ten Conference coach of the year in 2014, Kill will also coach the Scarlet Knights quarterbacks. He said Rutgers will continue to run the spread offense.Kill said that he and Ash talked about football during a recent meeting in Mahattan, Kansas and found they had a lot in common.I didnt have to have a job, and I wasnt looking for a job, Kill said. But I said if it was a perfect fit for me, I would get back in the game and I wanted it to be perfect. This is a perfect fit for Coach Kill.Kill had has had winning seasons in 15 of his 22 years as a college head coach. He most recently coached at Minnesota, from 2011-2015, where he guided the Gophers to three bowl games in four and a half seasons, including the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl in 2014. It marked the first Jan. 1 bowl game for Minnesota since 1962.Im kind of a program builder, Kill said. Thats what Ive done my whole life, the last 22 years of college coaching and even in high school. Thats what Im used to and I love challenges. I dont ever worry about who we play. I worry about how we play. If we do the right things and do a good job of teaching kids and so forth, we control a lot of outcomes.Minnesota won eight games in 2013 and 2014, which marked only the fifth time since 1906 that Minnesota won eight games in consecutive seasons. The 2014 offense ranked 12th nationally in passing yards per completion (14.52), 28th in rushing offense (215.5), 29th in sacks allowed (1.62) and 32nd in red zone offense (.878).---For more college football coverage: http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25Gardner Minshew II Womens Jersey .

The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal may both be heading into the US Open with niggling injuries but Andy Murray will not be lured into a false sense of security.Murray arrives in New York as the man in form and arguably favourite to lift a fourth grand slam title on the back of a superb summer that has already included winning Wimbledon and an Olympic gold medal.The Scots case was further strengthened on Friday when Djokovic, his chief rival, announced the wrist problem that hampered him at the Olympics had still not healed and private issues, now resolved, had festered behind his summer slump.With Roger Federer absent from Flushing Meadows while he recovers from a back problem and Nadal still suffering from a wrist injury of his own, the years final major tournament suddenly appears there for Murrays taking.The world No. 2, however, is unconvinced.To be honest, Novak and Rafa, theyre both in the top half. Them having wrist problems doesnt affect my chances of getting to the final as I wouldnt have to play them in that stage anyway, Murray said.I think Rafa pretty much proved his fitness in Rio, playing a lot of tennis, winning the doubles and also playing as many matches as anyone there. And in singles as well.And then Novak obviously missed Cincinnati but only a few weeks ago he was playing in Canada as well.Hes played enough matches. Its just whether hes fully recovered. We will see that when he plays.Murray has taken false comfort from Djokovics apparent ailments before -- most notably during last years Australian Open final when the Serb was hobbling on a bad annkle, only to storm back to victory -- and the British number one may be wary of being burned again.ddddddddddddNovak just missed Cincinnati. I dont know how hes feeling, Murray said. If hes playing here he must be feeling pretty good.The top seed has also won four of the last five major titles available and lost to Murray just twice in 15 meetings.It does, however, offer a hint of vulnerability about a player who, until Sam Querreys heroics at Wimbledon, appeared infallible and primed for a period of dominance similar to Federer almost 10 years ago.Federer, 35, Nadal, 30, Djokovic and Murray, both 29, have together won 45 of the last 51 grand slams but Murray admits there is now a chink of light for the rest of the field.All of us are getting towards the end of our careers, were in the latter stages, said Murray, who plays Lukas Rosol in round one on Tuesday.We have all been up in the top 10 in the world, me and Novak (nearly 10 years), for Roger and Rafa its been longer than that -- 15 years for Roger and probably 13 years for Rafa, who has played loads of matches.So its normal there would be wear and tear on the body and you pick up a few more injuries as you go on in your career.I think when everyone is fit and healthy they are capable of winning these major events. But there are injuries and it gives opportunities for other guys to make a break.Thats going to happen over the next few years, for sure, because I cant go on forever. ' ' '
