MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Minnesota football coach Tim Brewster says he and the school have agreed to a two-year contract extension.

He says he’s “very pleased” with the deal, with national signing day five days away. Brewster was traveling Friday and unable yet to sign the contract.

The 49-year-old Brewster has been working on a five-year deal he signed when he was hired in 2007. It’s worth $1 million annually.

The extension puts Brewster under contract through the 2013 season.

The Gophers are 14-24 under Brewster. His third season in charge ended with a 6-7 finish, including an Insight Bowl loss to Iowa State, but director of athletics Joel Maturi has indicated a desire to remain patient with a first-time head coach.

oops

I’m guessing Maturi thought that Brewster was going to show off his “great recruiting skills” the next week…or at least “keep talent close to home”. Nice. I understand staying patient, but why the need for an extension, didn’t he still have two years?
