Jerry Kill will be responsible for rebuilding one the worst offenses in college football.

The former Gophers head coach was announced as Rutgers new offensive coordinator Monday afternoon, just more than a year after retiring from coaching because of effects of epilepsy.
Kill's absence from the game didn't last long. He was hired in May by Kansas State as an associate athletic director overseeing football and Monday officially returns to coaching in the Big Ten.
"I know how to take care of myself better," Kill said in a teleconference Monday afternoon. "I've been seizure free for a long time and this is the best I've felt over a long time. ... I needed some time to see the right people and get on the right diet and get healthy."
Kill's contract is reportedly a three-year deal that will pay him an average of $625,000 per year, making him the highest paid assistant coach in program history. He was paid $150,000 in one year at Kansas State and earned $2.5 million annually at Minnesota before retiring.
Kill now has the large task of turning around a team offense that ranked last among the 128 Football Bowl Subdivision members and was last in nearly all offensive categories in the Big Ten this season.
"All the jobs I've ever taken are challenges. I'm a program builder," said Kill, who spent 22 seasons, five with the Gophers, as a head coach. "That's what I've done my whole life. ... I'm a competitive dude."
Rutgers was shut out in four Big Ten games this season, losing by a combined score of 224-0 against Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State. They were shut out in back-to-back weeks against the Buckeyes and Wolverines, then a month later shutout in back-to-back games yet again. The offense only scored 13 points in the final three games of the season.
