.. if you won't go away? Ex-coach Jerry Kill is suing SIUC for holding him to the terms of his contract. According to the article, Kill still had 3 years on his contract as head football coach at SIUC, when he took the coaching spot at Northern Illinois. His SIUC contract requires him to pay the university a third of a year's salary if he takes another position before the contract expires. The university calls it liquidated damages to cover costs associated with replacing him, he says it's an illegal penalty because the contract had no provision for him accepting another coaching position.
