Brewster will be gone after this year!

[gophermanic]

5-7 this year, 5-7 next year. At least under Mason we could score and look like a legitamate B10 team. This is beyond pathetic. Changes must and should be made Mr. Maturi.:cool:

Mason lost 44-0 the last time he was at the Shoe.

[Go4]

Mason lost 44-0 the last time he was at the Shoe.

and he was fired even after going to a bowl

[skoolvikes]

It doesnt matter what Mason did in his last year at the Shoe. The point is Brewster is not qualified to coach in the Big Ten. Has him or this coaching staff EVER heard of freaking second half adjustments?!? This team just simply gives up once they get down. NO discipline. Mason is/was a better coach then Tim Brewster.

[gophermanic]

They will be lucky to beat Illinois at home this season and salvage a 6-6 season. If they lose that game and go 5-7, Maturi has every reason to can his sorry a ss! 13-24 in three seasons will be the ammunition he needs.

[stocker08]

look at him with that confused ass look on his face

[Berget13]

and he was fired even after going to a bowl

But wasnt that the year we had a big lead over TT and blew it?

[Donovan]

I've been hoping Brewster was the guy, each game is making it tougher to believe.

[gophermanic]

You can recruit all the talented goons you want, but if you cant coach them simple fundamentals and discipline they will keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Right Brew?

SO true. Going into the Penn State, Ohio State game I think most people figured we would lose. But we didn't think we were going to get utterly embarrassed in both games and I mean we got embarrassed on national television at that. Mason could at least have us hang in there and make things interesting. Michigan State now looks like a very large, dangerous mountain to climb and we don't have hiking boots. Get my drift????

Just think how good Mason would have had us if he could have recruited like Brewster.

[Goldteam]

the guys he recruited are all freshmen or red shirt freshmen

relax people

[Plinnius]

Mason could at least have us hang in there and make things interesting.

He could also get absolutely thrashed.

[upchurch]

Has Brew's team ever made a comeback? He has never upset an opponent. It's been 3 years.

[gophermanic]

1999 at 2 Penn State
2000 at highly ranked OSU
2005 at Michigan
Iowa and Wisconsin victories.

3 bowl wins in a row.

We will be LUCKY to get to a bowl this year or next, pal.

[Plinnius]

Has Brew's team ever made a comeback?

Yes? This year . . . several times.

[gophermanic]

Syracuse, Northwestern, and Purdue, WOW, how are we not ranked??

[JohnnyGopher]

that was an average Ohio State team that was just begging to be upset. while the idea of changing coaches is not something I like to see, I have completely been converted and have lost all faith in Brewster. The blind Brewster supporters can talk recruiting all they want but rivals stars don't mean squat on the field. Being highly rated didn't help Eric Lair from having that big third down pass bounce right off his chest. Whats really sad is to read all the posts from Gopher fans here and on the other site who seem pretty content in losing this game since it was Ohio State, what did you expect. That was an extremely winable football game for a competant football team, which it's painfully obvious we are not

[go4rob]

I have seldom seen a more undisciplined team than this Gopher team…they are tanking it! I can’t wait to hear how proud Brewster was of our effort. Let me tell you , when you see a player fighting with a coach on the sidelines…the end isn’t far behind. Here my pick, the only game we win the rest of the year is the Jack Rabbits, and hell, we might even lose that one. They should be ashamed of their efforts the last two week. Pryor looked like a Heisman candidate against us and I think Decker is done for the year. Nothing good to report. Go hire Tommy Tuberville RIGHT EFFING NOW!

Dude, Mason was a horrible game-day coach. he did have some big wins but he had five times as many utter implosions. He was also blown out many times on national tv. Brewster is a used-car salesman and needs to go, but please don't compare anyone to Mason.

I totally agree. It is so frustrating because Brewster really brought the interest level in the program way, way up. But now that he can never win a meaningful game I fear it may go right back down where it came from, along with his ability to recruit. How long can you sell a "program on the rise" when it isn't going anywhere? Now, I may be irrational at the moment, but if we get our butts kicked by Michigan State Brewster is going to be in the dog house.

I agree. Good grief, how did Hayo Carpenter get 4 stars from Rivals??

Brewster could pull his rear end out of the fire if this happens: he pulls Weber and inserts Gray and we go 2-2 and win a bowl game with Gray. People will be back on board.

Having said that, I'd be fine hearing that Maturi is is working the phones behind the scenes, whether that is with Philip Fulmer, Turner Gill, or whoever (I'd love Brian Kelly, but I'm afraid this job would not be seen as a big step up for him).

[GeorgiaGopher]

But if we fire Brew who will water the grass from the Rose Bowl or is it dead now???

[the24fan]

hey you all...im a hawkeye fan but youre right about stars not meaning crap. We had a bunch like that a few years back and it gave us nothing. However were fortunate to have one of if not the best fundamentally sound hc in the country in KF..makes a difference when you can actually develop players who fit your system. most of his success is never with the highly rated recruits, but the overlooked ones who fit the hawkeye system. Brewster needs to figure that out quick. But give the guy a break hes from Colorado..too little oxygen to the brain.....

[Maroon]

If the Gophers finish 5-7, that most likely means they lost to Iowa, Michigan State and then either Illinois at home or South Dakota State. A loss to Illinois or South Dakota State at home to go 5-7 and miss a bowl, and it's over Brewster. No excuses.

[howeda7]

I tend to agree. Before the season I said:

8-4 or better: A-give him his extension

7-5: B-Give him at least a one year extension and keep rolling

6-6: C: Letting him go could be justufied, but probably just let him coach out his contract

5-7: D: A firing is more then justified, especially if no trophy games are won (which would now be certain)

4-8 or worse:100% gone.'

I stand by this now.

[koppco1]

Mason was a horrible game day coach? At least he beat Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa etc etc. Brewster has not come CLOSE to doing so.

Yes and he also got blown out 44-0 by tOSU in 2006 (not to mention all of the other blowouts); had some of the greatest implosions I've ever seen (Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, I could go on and on); said we were "rebuilding" in year 10 of his tenure; said we could never win at Minnesota; was continuously looking for a better job; and was one of the most arrogant d-bags I've ever met.

[50PoundHead]

Mason was a brutally bad gameday coach. That's not saying Brewster is a good gameday coach, but Mason was horrible.

[bankonit]

Has Brew's team ever made a comeback? He has never upset an opponent. It's been 3 years.

please watch at least one game before posting. Your question is stupid, We have had multiple comeback games this season already.

[bankonit]

I can't believe you people are calling for Brewsters head, You are all as stupid as the people in Ohio calling for Tressels head. I would not trade Brew for another Big Ten coach, he is the right person at the right time and we are closer to big ten titles then we have been in decades and if you can't see that you are looking to close at wins and losses and not enough at the big picture of building a big time program

Thank god someone is thinking clearly. If you haven't noticed our most athletic, skilled players ie. Grey, Stoudemire are Brewster Boys, imagine a team with talent like that? Let Brewster do the recruiting and work with our coordinators a bit as it would be a nice change of pace to have them around for a few years. Its gonna take time, but his recruits are already making a difference in the game and we need to allow him enough time to where the whole team is Brewsters players and then lets see what happens. We looked so horrible today I got physically ill, but to start calling for Brew's firing is absolutely foolish right now, its way to early. As for the comparison's between Mason and Brewster, thats a whole cookbook of stupid.

[bankonit]

thankyou minibeaver. People need to take a deep breath. The game today got really ugly but Brew has us on a path with more talent than we have ever seen here. Is Brew going to be a great coach? we don't know that yet, give him time to bring in the players he needs and then see what happens.

[Donovan]

Wouldn't it be great to by a fly on the wall in Maturi's office? I'd love to know where his head is at right now. I guess we all feel that way.

[gopher pops]

we looked horrible today???? come on horrible??? we held Ohio state to one touchdown ....nobody in the nation has held Ohio state to one touchdown..... not even the great Pete Carroll and the mighty Trojans of U.S.C. and yes i said one touch down.. you cant count the defense with their backs against the wall deep in our own territory because the offense gave up five turn overs... somebody posted the team gave up.... how and when... when you hold Ohio state to one touchdown in the shoe at half time you won the half at what point is that horrible or the sign of a team giving up??

[WriterGoph]

GopherManic, when will you start your postings like this over on the basketball board? After we lose to MSU and Purdue on the road?

So predictable

How about OSU making Halftime Adjustments and blowing us out in the 2nd Half? How about being conditioned to play an entire game? The final score was 38-7 for Christ sakes.......

[sec105]

Hmmm..Marion Barber III, Laurence Maroney, Gary Russell. I don't have to imagine talent like that. We had it.

Oh and those of you who continually point to Mason's teams collapsing after big leads vs Michigan and Ohio State etc...I can only "imagine" someday Brewster will have such a lead to collapse from. So far he's not even close!

Not true...remember when we were leading 35-14 against NW in 2007?

Oh wait, you said GOOD teams.......

Dude that's simply a ridiculous claim. Let me take a hit of whatever it is you are smoking.
