We've been so busy attempting catchup that we haven't noted the hiring of Jerry Kill, Northern Illinois' coach and a steady program builder with numerous advantages over his predecessor, Tim Brewster. Kill has done the job before. He has rebuilt programs. He has a track record of success. And most importantly, his last name is KILL.
This doesn't mean he's instantly the best name to be hired as a head coach ever. For instance, any of the following qualify as a more badass name than "Jerry Kill."
