That's not how you treat people. If Reusse knows when someone is sincere and insincere, then he should be making millions playing poker, not writing a bad sports column. The new head coach of the University of Minnesota deserved a warm welcome and an opportunity to prove himself on the field. Whether it was Reusse or the "Brother Brewster" comments by Tom Powers, I was embarrassed as a Minnesota fan that our media seemed eager to make the new coaches job that much more difficult.
I remember listening to Reusse on Garage Logic only a few months after Brew had been hired. Even then he was saying that Brew is all bluster and that it was time for him to just shut up and coach. At that point he got it right - he took the cheerleading thing too far and he made a clown out of himself with it. Yeah, Reusse and Souhan are savage. But we read them because they are entertaining. If you want ass-kissng we always have Sid (dot, dot, dot)
Ruesse sounds so sincere in this article, he's more of a phony than Brewster. Make no mistake about it, Ruesse is pleased that Brewster failed.

The world will be a better place when Reusse no longer draws breath from it.
Hands down winner of the dumbest comment I've ever read on the hole.
That column today was spot on regarding previous coaches, and how many of us got hooked on Gopher football at an early age.
So let's hope Reusse passes for printing the truth? There are some, and I'm one of them, who thought Brewster's introductory news conference was way over the top. He smelled like a used car salesman and proved to be one. There are others, the suddenly invisible Schnoodler for example, who wanted to extend this guy for reasons that made very little sense.
Brewster won the lottery here, talking himself into a job for which he was unqualified and collecting a salary well beyond the pay scale of a tight ends coach. Call it a win-lose.
While I disagree with you, the world is never a better place when someone draws their last breath. Ridiculous.
