Hot Seat Magic Number: Brewster Still has a Chance

Statistically, Time Brewster could still lead the Gophers to either bowl eligibility or a strong five win finish to the 2010 season. In my opinion, either scenario would save his job. Now, such a feat would require winning some very difficult games. How difficult? Let's take a look at the updated Hot Seat Magic Number Chart:
Having already lost to both Northwestern and Wisconsin, the Gophers options for a strong finish are slim. The only way that they can lose to Iowa and reach six wins would require wins versus both Ohio State and Penn State. Unlikely. Even if lightning strikes and they beat Iowa, Ohio State and Michigan State are having monster seasons. The only conceivable (yet highly unlikely) scenario would be wins versus Iowa, Penn State, Purdue, Illinois and either Michigan State or Ohio State for a 6 win season. If that happened (please...I'm not saying it will) Brewster should deserve a shot at the 2011 season.
The list is short, and the odds are against him. Yet, if one of these scenarios happens, do you think he deserves another shot?

Yes, he should get another year
but it is such a long shot you could not get any sportsbook to lay out any sort of odds on it.
Of course he deserves a shot if he does that!
Ridiculous question…like if Obama ends all conflict in the middle east and restores the economy to the high flying 90’s….does he deserve another 4 years? Actually, resolving all conflict overseas is more likely than Brewster beating OSU, MSU, ILL and IOWA this season….
Was that really heavy political stuff Erik T?
It wasn’t really political at all…not pro nor anti Obama. Just saying solving the country’s economic woes and conflict in Afghanistan and the Middle East in general was more realistic than the Gophers defeating OSU, MSU, IL and Iowa…and I stand by that statement.

Is it possible
that we put together a 2-game win streak here?
Purdue and PSU are rather beatable. I’m not holding my breath and I wouldn’t put a nickel down on it happening but it wouldn’t be completely shocking.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you The Daily Gopher
Spark is Here!
— The Gophers “probably will” wear the white helmets again against Purdue this week, Brewster said. The brand new helmets were his idea to try something different to spark the players last week.
No
he’s a salesman. I mean maybe if he pulls off all of these upsets, but i just don’t see the upside with this guy
Yes
History has recorded miracles. Moses parted the Red Sea. The US Hockey team beat the Soviets in the 1980 Olympics, but they were very disciplined and drilled and well coached.. It would take a miracle by Brewster and his team.
