It's inevitable that this topic is going to come up, so I might as well be the one to post it. I completely understand that Brewster should be given at least another year (even if I'm not his biggest fan). However, if Maturi wanted to make a big splash move right now and does not believe that Brewster is the coach to get it done, then he should make the move and hire Mike Leach right now.
This could be Maturi's "Tubby hire" for the football program. I understand that the James situation has put a little bit of a cloud around Mike Leach, but from what I've read (which I admt is limited to what has been publicly disclosed) I'm siding with the respected and eccentric head coach over the son of an ESPN blowhard.
Imagine what Leach could do in a large city with a new stadium in a conference that struggles to stop offenses like Leach employs. Just some food for thought...
