Me to!
The 1966 game of the century, #1 Notre Dame v. #2 Michigan State in East Lansing, ends in a 10 all tie to a chorus of boos as Parseghian's Irish run out the clock.
Growing up in Chicago the Northwestern Wildcats were awful till he took over, he was 36-35 in 8 years. Before Huarte to Snow, it was Meyers to Flately. It was at Northwestern that he caught the eye of the Irish. He was one of the best coaches of that decade. RIP Coach.
I remember him being quoted after he retired as saying that he needed every bit of experience and seasoning he'd amassed by the time he was hired there in order to be able to do that job - a program of that magnitude and with those expectations. Intended or not, it was a commentary on Gerry Faust's difficulty in that position. I think of that quote a lot when I see a young, inexperienced person being hired to a high-profile football coaching job - and it applies universally to a lot of difficult and high-powered jobs. As much as I wanted Brewster to be successful, Ara's quote was ringing in my ears when he was hired.
Brewster was neither young nor inexperienced when the Gophers hired him.
Brewster had never been a HC when The U hired him, so he lacked that experience.

Thank you. Good answer to a ridiculous statement.
Incorrect.
Where had Tim Brewster been a head college football coach before getting hired at Minnesota?
Like Mason, Kill, or Fleck?
I never said that he had.
You said "incorrect" to my earlier post about his lacking HC experience.
What did you mean then?
And please don't bring up a 15-8 record as head HS coach like that has anything to do with being a Big Ten header.
