Brewster to Kansas rumors OPEN TREAD
This is quite the story (or non-story that has become a story that eventually may be a complete non-story) and it has Gopher Nation fired up.
Let's use this single thread for all remaining discussion.
Links of Note
- TDG wonders if Brewster is the next decommit?
- Pioneer Press original story.
- Star Tribune original story.
- STrib's Michael Rand gives us his take. And here is the money line...
All that said, prevailing sentiment is that Brewster isn't going anywhere -- at least not on his own. He hasn't proven enough to command even jobs that would be considered lateral moves. That will leave Maturi to make a call that has risks in both directions: fire Brewster and essentially start over again, producing some chaos and possibly losing seasons for a team trying to fill a new stadium and create excitement; or extend him and run the risk that things go from mediocre to worse -- leading to a deeper hole for the program and an even bigger buyout down the road with more seasons left on Brewster's contract.
I'm sure there will be much more to come. Eventually someone at the U (Maturi, Brewster, whoever) will likely have to make a more definite statement.

Has anybody heard---
1) Is Brewster’s house really for sale?
2) Did Maturi really meet with Tony Dungy in secret after Thanksgiving?
3) Is now the time to secure Erin Andrews as our next coach?
Why on EARTH
Would Kansas want Brewster? He can’t coach, he can’t delegate,his PR skills are woeful,his recruits decommit or never even make it into school,and he has turned Minnesota into Cupcake U. On the plus side,he designed a spiffy home team locker room.
they don't
most likely scenario is that Brewster reached out to Kansas.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you

If Brewster Leaves...
Can you guys please bring back Glen Mason? At least he doesn’t know how to Twitter.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Bowl game will determine Brewster's fate
A win, no matter how ugly will get him an extension. A loss, no matter what it looked like will lead to his departure. Brewster’s coaching career hangs in the balance. This is how I see it unfolding. Unfortunately, I do not see a happy ending either way. To a large extent, we are screwed.
that's what happens
with poor coaching hires. Hope clouds your short term view of the results but eventually wears off leaving you with a smelly mess that was there all along.

Fire. Brewster. Now.
IMO, Joel Maturi needs to cut this Brewster experiment off before it gets worse. I think Michael Rand was spot on. Yes, it doesn’t make the Gophers better in the short term to start anew, but every year longer we waste with this clown running the program means all the longer it will take to rebuild.
Also, I’m just curious, are we going to run the spread next year? Or is it the option? Perhaps 100 percent wishbone offense?

Brewster leaving
Patrick Ruesse just stated on AM1500 that Brewster probably started the Kansas rumor as a negotiation tactic, and he is not going to Kansas as they would seek a coach with a better record.
