How Does Southern Illinois Feel About Kill Leaving?

I hope we feel this way after 2 years!

"Kill has been on the job just 16 months, but he has remade SIU athletics in his image. He hired coaches in seven of SIU's 11 intercollegiate sports. The SIU Arena is now known as the Banterra Center. Empty positions in the support staff have been filled. Donations to the athletic program have increased.

But, more than that, the attitude around the athletic department has changed.

Kill's "anything is possible with hard-work outlook" has taken root. Everyone walking around Lingle Hall seems to have a spring in their step. And, although Kill pulled the trigger on several coaching changes, the coaching staff seemed to place great trust in Kill's ability and judgment.

It's fair to say Kill transformed the department in 16 months. And, any success the program has in the next several years can be traced back to Kill."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
