Living in Minneapolis, I can't stand the Gophers or their fans.  But I agree 100% with the above post.  Minnesota is always going to be disadvantaged on the recruiting trail trying--they can't go head-to-head with elites very often, nor are people knocking down doors to play in such a cold weather climate [sound familiar?].  So their best bet to be competitive is to get a coach / staff who are strong in terms of developing talent and coaching it up, who have a track record of success.  That's what Kill excels at--landing undervalued talent and coaching it up.

I'm not suggesting that the guy is Knute Rockne, but he's a solid coach for a team like the gophers, who's best bet is to build a consistent winner, get to bowls every year to help with selling the program on the recruiting trail, and every once in awhile have the personnel to put together a special season.

Even as I type the above, I'm aware of the similarities between their situation and ours.
