Shocker. He didn’t keep Sanders’ chili hot! What a clown show. The fact that they back channeled naming the pavilion after Maturi……
 





How can this guy ever feel settled in his life? Just constant movement over his football coaching life...

This is the life of the majority of college coaches. I was looking at Illinois coaching staff the week we played them and saw George McDonald was on staff. He was on Brewster's staff at one point. Look at his career over the past 23 years. The lives these guys live are truly amazing.

I dunno, maybe I’m in the minority but I loved Brew’s passion…I think he legitimately thought Rose Bowls here. Tell me he wouldn’t fit with this staff! He has much of the same rah rah PJ likes and he can recruit. He might be a good fit since everyone says/knows we we’d to recruit better. Plus he’s done it here before. Personally, I’d take him just for that. Plus we can watch closely when they play Bert and Illinois! That would be fun!

Most of us loved his passion. That’s rarely if ever criticized.

Go Gophers!!

Jedd Fisch (former Brewster OC) always had the most wildly itinerant resume I had seen before he now has resurrected Arizona football this year as head coach
 


I wouldn't hire Tim Brewster to valet cars. Still cannot believe that Naboob Maturi was snowed by that BS slinger. He, Brewster will probably beg Mack Brown back for a job.
 

We knew that was going to happen when he got removed as a coach a few games ago. Clearly wasn't working out or didn't get along with Sanders.
 



Insider story says his chili was not hot enough for the Buffaloes.

Agree Bleed on passion "yes" but most everything else by the end "no."

Mr. Reusse on the other hand was brutal from the first to very last keystroke. Couldn't easily access his original piece from mid-January 2007 but did come up with this from 3 years later.

[Apologies in advance for the link did not work well...here's the text in its entirety. Classic Reusse when he still wrote well]

Patrick Reusse: All that's happened reinforces Day 1 take on hire of Brewster

A longtime Gophers observer has the same take on the coach nowthat he did when he was hired in 2007.

OCTOBER 17, 2010 — 12:47AM
PATRICK REUSSE

This is my 65th birthday. From age 9, when I attended a Gophers game for the first time and saw a thrilling 22-20 victory over Iowa in the 1954 season finale, to age 17, when I joined Minnesotans in screaming over the thieving referees that gave Wisconsin a 14-9 victory over the Gophers in the 1962 season finale, the fate of the U of M football team was an extremely important occurrence in the autumn.

That's not really a long time -- eight years, nine seasons -- to have been a Gophers football fanatic, but it did cover Minnesota's only two Rose Bowl appearances, and involved such greats as Bobby Bell, Tom Brown, Sandy Stephens, Bill Munsey, Carl Ellerand Bob McNamara.

It was McNamara who brought back the kickoff to upset Iowa, and it was Bell who was called for a bogus roughing penalty against Wisconsin quarterback Ron Vander Kelen that upset Minnesotans from border to border, and, yeah, I really cared, and then life got in the way.

My first day of work at a newspaper was as a copy boy in the Minneapolis Morning Tribune's sports department in August 1963, and I knew from that first shift this was where I wanted to spend a working life -- inside a sports department.

Night by night, I learned from men such as Bob (Sorehead) Sorensen, John Wiebusch, Bill McGrane, Bud Armstrong, Bob Fowler and, most particularly, the great Ted Peterson that it wasn't which team won or lost but what you could get in the next edition to tell the tale.

That was the jumping-off point for me and the football Gophers -- the transition from fanatic to observer.

I've made the journey through Minnesota sports with untold thousands of other baby boomers, and along the way have been amazed to see these young adults, and then middle-agers, and now senior citizens, bedecked in the maroon and gold garb on those autumn Saturdays.

For sure, I would like to have 10 bucks for every time one of those folks said as I walked into Williams Arena or a football arena, "Hey, Reusse, write something good about theGophers."
The response (usually silent) was, "That's not up to me; it's up to the Gophers."

The duty changed from beat reporter to columnist in 1979 at the St. Paul newspapers, and from that corner of the sports section, you have to call it as you see it.

There have been a half-dozen Gophers football coaches in that time as a Twin Cities sports columnist: Joe Salem, Lou Holtz, John Gutekunst, Jim Wacker, Glen Mason and Tim Brewster.

Smokey Joe was a hero as a backup quarterback on the Gophers' first Rose Bowl team. Early, there was promise, and then his last two teams (1982-83) fell off a cliff.

Holtz arrived with such gusto that I soon was referring to him in print as "The Music Man." Minnesotans loved him, and he was building impressively from Smokey Joe's ashes, and then he was gone 23 months after his arrival.

Gutekunst was a capable assistant and a great guy, and he had Rickey Foggie to win a few big games, and then after 1991, it was time for Gutey to be an assistant again somewhere.

Wacker was a sincere version of Holtz -- an enthusiastic salesman -- but there was never a hint in five seasons that he could get the job done.

Mason lasted a decade. He brought a degree of competitiveness, along with a handful of unimaginable losses. We took some shots at his arrogant nature, but there was no one in the mainstream media calling for his job. And then he was whacked after another
unimaginable loss, in the 2006 Insight Bowl.

Career assistant Tim Brewster got in front of athletic director Joel Maturi and his committee members and dazzled them as if they were a collection of two-star recruits.

And now he's 1-6 in Year 4, and there were reports Saturday night that Coach Brew was told he won't be back next season. Confirmation of this is expected Sunday.

Boomers in their maroon and gold still tell me, "You never gave Brewster a chance," and I don't argue.

At his inaugural news conference, I listened to the least sincere pile of verbiage ever heard in Dinkytown, and that's what I wrote, and never saw a reason to change.

I couldn't help it. That's the job.

Patrick Reusse can be heard noon to 4 weekdays on 1500ESPN. •

I would be amused / would welcome him back as a TE coach…. if we had room/ PJ was up for it.

You cannot believe that Maturi hired him? Really?

Jedd Fisch has moved 14 times since 1997... and that is giving him credit for not moving when he went from USC to the LA Rams! The network that some of these guys build are impressive.

He coached with Deion at Jackson and Deion liked him enough to bring him to Colorado.
 

Possible that Brewster didn't like the culture at Colorado. Parents possibly asking questions during the recruiting process leaving him in a tough spot.
