I was and still am a Brewster supporter! But I think our program is never going to be able to achieve greatness unless we go out and hire a "Lou Holtz" type coach. I am a coach and I come from a very large coaching family. I have been apart of H.S. staffs that come in for programs that have never been successful in their histories. I have seen what happens to young kids when losing is the norm and I have seen how hard it is to beat the negativity out of kids. That is why I have and always believed Brew is perfect for Minny! He is up-beat and positive. It takes a lot of time and energy to dismantle negativity! And it's always easier to hate/be angry/negative towards something rather then keep to the positive path. Like I said I am a Brewster guy, however, this program will not be successful until we bring in a coach who is above criticsm. It hurts me to say that because I love the U and the state of Minnesota, but as a fan base we suck! Look at how long we supported a guy who was content upon being average. And then people try to defend the fact that he was a good coach...He was very poor against Big Ten teams and very good against bad competition! Great job Mason!
Our fan base is brutal! We can't fill the student section in a brand new stadium that is quite small for Big Ten standards. We are in one of the biggest populations of all the schools in the Big Ten(city as well as student body)
The "Fire Brew" morons who spit these comments that he is a "bad coach" etc etc really dont see that the Minnesota Football Program is not a 3 year fix! Unfortunately many will believe that it is a 2-3 year fix for whoever becomes the new coach due to the fact Brew has built a decent amount of depth and if/when a new regime comes through the doors the rebuilding process is going to be much quicker! And the Brew Haters will all say, "see i told you so, it just took someone who knows what they're doing!" When in reality Brew did all the heavy lifting.
Losing recruits will keep happening and the big money alum are going to push Maturi to take action. Many of you believe that losing recruits is something that never happens and this is a chock that kids can't make up their minds. How dillusional are some of you? Dropping the U of MN for Oregon or TCU right now makes perfect sense. I mean both fan bases have had their ups and downs but you never here the negative rhetoric that you hear out of MN. But neither school has been as irrelevant as Minny over a 40 year stretch.
Kfan, Star Trib, Pioneer Press-Every one of us love to piss and moan about how negative these companier portray our school and athletics. When are we going to do something about it? Im just as bad as the majority of us, I hate them but I listen anyways because of the lack of local coverage. If we exect greatness out of our athletic programs why do we consistantly listen to these idiots that tell us how we will never be?
