Vanderbilt University's football program has made a strategic addition to its coaching staff by hiring Jerry Kill, former coach at New Mexico State, Minnesota, and Northern Illinois University (NIU), as Chief Consultant to the Head Coach and Senior Offensive Advisor. Kill, who stepped down from New Mexico State after two seasons, reunites with Tim Beck and Melvin Rice, his former coaching team members at New Mexico State last fall. Meanwhile, Jerry Glanville, an 82-year-old with 57 years of coaching experience, including head coaching roles with the NFL's Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons, has been named the defensive coordinator for Division II Northwestern Oklahoma State University, aiming to turn around a team that went 1-10 last season.
