nope, just the people who think it is dumb to extend a coach who gives us a great opportunity to compete on a national level. The guy has only had 3 years to turn around the program and it takes more time than that.
read the comments below the article. Star Tribune posters are idiots
I'm glad they extended him, but he's gone after next season. 6-6 is the best we can do with that schedule. We might not win a conference home game all year, maybe Northwestern. He needs to win at Camp Randall or beat Iowa at home to have a chance of keeping his job. I hope he can get it done but I just don't see it happening.

Well then 6-6 keeps his job if that is the best we can do, any win over that is gravy. If we are in close games and we can see improvement in the program then I think he keeps his job. The only way I see him being fired is if we win 4 games or less
You're delusional. Brew needs to win 7 regular season games next season or he's done.
6-18 Big Ten record, 0-6 vs Iowa and Wisconsin, a 1-11 season, 0-2 in bowl games, a loss to NDSU, a 3 point win over SDSU at home, laying on his stomach during a two point conversion, announcing that he'll make a killer hire and then hires Jedd Fisch, telling Sid Hartman that the entire staff will be back next year days before Jedd Fisch leaves, losing at home to Illinois this year, can't recruit a good running back, calling back to back timeouts vs SDSU, not being able to figure out SDSU's blitz package for an entire game, losing at home to Northern Illinois, 55-0, taking credit for Mack Brown's victory's, calling Reusse a fatass on Twitter, etc.
I think it's fine to extend him a couple of years like they did because three years isn't a very long time, but to call people who don't think he deserves the extension idiots shows how you don't accept any opinion other than Brewster is the greatest coach in the world. I understand that you have a picture of Brewster on your nightstand that you kiss before bed every night, but lighten up on the people who don't think Brewster is God. They have a lot more evidence to support their argument than you do, and it's not even close.
+google.
The extension is the right move. But the ACTUAL DATA gives no indication that Brewster will succeed. He's on thin ice and rightfully so. It's in the best interest of the program to give him a chance to prove the evidence to date is not indicative of his coaching ability. That's the only reason he deserves an extension, end of story.
Why 7? Why not 8 or even 9? Do you chumps actually believe the coach will stay or go depending strictly upon a preset number of wins or losses? Sheesh! No wonder we tolerate nonsense like this new "realist" guy. The rest of it on here isn't much better.
Is it too much to ask for a coach to go .500 in Big Ten play in year 4 of his tenure?
I suppose not, the last coach was 4-4 in year four (unfortunately, he was also 2-6 in year five).

I couldn't agree more.

Honestly do you keep this list on file or something?
Every thing you point out in this has a positive counter beside the record and rivalry losses. The record is vastly weighted for the 1-11 season in 07. I simply refuse to blame Brewster one bit for that season, this program was an absolute wreck when he took over.
The rivalry record sucks the big one, it hurts our Gopher pride, it burns at all of us since so many jacka$$ wisky and pigeoneye fans can't get jobs in their terrible states. We see them all the time they give us crap, we have little to return fire with.
The rivalry record is THE only thing I am critical of Brewster for, it needs to change this year, at 6-6 I can stomach a 5th year with a nice trophy game victory against either rival.
All of the other stuff you list is crap and just shows a personal bias against Brewster. Nothing else listed has ANY weight in determining his success or failure thus far.

You don't think Brewster's complete inability to correctly identify RB talent has anything to do with determining his success or failure???
Right off the top of my head. The scary thing is I left some out.
A wreck? He took over a 6-6 team that went to 6 straight bowls and 7 in 8 years. We weren't great but we weren't a wreck. Mason took over a wreck from Wacker.
You don't think getting outcoached by South Dakota State is an eye opener?
Here's to Wright breaking out early and having 20 carry 100 yard games all year long.
He's IDENTIFIED several top backs, often when others hadn't started recruiting them hard.
Most have ended up going somewhere else. Lamicheal James was close to coming here, we all know what happened to Lipscomb last year. It's no coincidence we were on several highly ranked RB's this year including Huff, Williams, Grant, Coker, etc. Wright, Edwards and Kirkwood will hopefully fill the need, which I agree has been one of the main deficient positions during his run here along with O and Dline. Here's to Wright breaking out early and having 20 carry 100 yard games all year long.
My main point was that I could care less that he called a jacka$$ like reusse fat on twitter, or that he told sid the staff would be back. Those don't figure into his overall success as the coach of the university of MN.
His inability to keep a staff or hire a qualified staff sure does figure into his overall success however.

I've never met anyone who thinks that Brewster is God. Neither have you. I've never met anyone who thought that Brewster was the greatest coach in the world. Neither have you. But go on with the standard litany of lies if you feel you must.
The people who post on newspaper's comment boards are, in general, idiots. That's not the same as saying that anyone who doesn't think that Brewster should be extended is an idiot.
