Glen Mason fired, Tim Brewster hired

Joel Maturi hired Tim Brewster has Mason’s replacement in January 2007. Brewster, who spent five seasons as an NFL assistant before coming to Minnesota, was 1-11 in his first season leading the program and was fired midway through his fourth season in 2010 after university president Robert Bruininks criticized the program for its lack of success. He finished with a 15-30 record.
Tim Brewster: Fail.

Tim Brewster fired, Jerry Kill hired
