don't know if anyone read sid's column yesterday, but with the economy in the tank, bob bruiniks has had to make some tough decisions at the 'u,' including the shelving of plans to extend contracts, etc.
sounds like brewster and his assistants will have to do without a contract extension heading into the 2009 season...
the silver lining in this economic gloom? joel maturi will have at least another year with which to evaluate bewster and his bottom-line performance, without any added financial risk to the 'u'
the fortuitous timing of bruiniks' decision provides 'cover,' and presumably a sense of relief, for maturi as we look ahead to the 2009 season...
if the gophers finish in the top 4 of the big 11 (i.e. alamo bowl or better), and if the economy begins to trend upward, then brewster should have his contract extension 12 months from today...
if the gophers are home for the holidays for the 2nd time in 3 years, then maturi hopefully has his list of replacement head coaching candidates updated in his desk drawer, with his own 'killer shot' at the top of that list...
if the gophers go to a minor bowl, then maturi has a tough decision to make next year in terms of whether to buy out the remaining 2 years of brewster's contract, or to accept an environment of declining standards and expectations at the bierman complex...
