6B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 2006 . ▯COLLEGE FOOTBALL Cancer doesn't change coach's sports passion BY JIM SUHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Southern Illinois head football coach Jerry Kill works with his team in late March in Carbondale, Ill. Three months since losing part of a kidney to cancer, Kill again is guiding Southern Illinois' spring workouts. Pamela Key Schmatenberger/ AP PHOTO CARBONDALE, Ill. — Three months since losing part of a kidney to cancer, Jerry Kill again is guiding Southern Illinois' spring workouts the only way he knows — full throttle and no less demanding. Once a coach, always a coach for a gung-ho guy who has benched his worries about cancer, at least for now. "He's definitely not taking it easy by any means," said quarterback Nick Hill, a former football and basketball star at DuQuoin High who'll be a junior next season. "It seems like he's got a new passion and is just thankful for being out there, like he's living each practice like it's his last," Hill added. At least publicly, Kill has been a rock since last fall, when he weathered a series of seizures that included one on the sidelines in the waning seconds of an Oct. 15 home loss to Illinois State. At that time, the university attributed the seizures to an unspecified condition that occasionally manifested itself with such episodes but was not considered life-threatening. "I feel like I'm getting better each day," Kill, 44, said Wednesday, a week after the Salukis began the yearly ritual that is spring football. While calling his bout with cancer an unfolding "process," he says "I've been going hard and strong, and hopefully that will continue." If anything, one Saluki submits, Kill's health issues may have boldened him. Tests revealed Kill had cancer not long after the Salukisnotched their biggest victory of last season, knocking off Western Kentucky — then Division Since then, Kill has taken several days off to spend with his wife, "but other than that I haven't changed any." Translation: Work, work, work. Few were told Kill had cancer, aside from the coach's family and the school's athletics director. Kill kept the secret while coaching out the rest of the season, believing the Salukis' playoffs run "kept my mind off it" and that publicly revealing the disease would distract the team. "I haven't changed my hours, and I'm not working any differently than I've worked the previous 23 years of spring ball" at colleges in Kansas and Michigan, he said. I-AA's top-ranked team. The Salukis' season ended Dec. 3 with a loss to Appalachian State in the quarterfinals of the Division I-AA playoffs, and Kill had the tumor removed about a month later. No one's challenging that. Hill calls Kill "an inspiration." "When you look at him and all the things he went through, the way he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him, taking each day like it's special — it just puts things into perspective about how lucky we are to be playing this game for fun," Hill said. "From talking to the guys on the team, they say he's a man on a mission. His energy level and desire and passion haven't faded," said Joel Sambursky, who last season closed out his college quarterbacking career with the most passing records. No need to remind Hill, who's considered Sambursky's successor. Kill downplays his ordeal. Kill downplays its outcry. "There's a lot of people out there who have struggled a lot worse than Jerry Kill," he said. "I'm a fortunate man."
