Made my Sunday coming off one of the worst days in Minnesota sports. But he wanted to make it clear, "Don't Fire Brewster." But if we do, we should hire Lou Holtz.
 


Sid

Next time I see Sid I am going to boo him. For both saying don't fire Brewster and hire Lou Holtz.
Two of the most absurd statements ever broadcast on a Minnesota Sports show.

Don't do it. It was comic relief. I'm getting trash talking texts from people I know around the country digging in on me for the Gopher/Twins performances yesterday. Hearing that from Sid almost made the football debacle worthwhile. Good stuff.
 



And also to be fair, most people Sid's age are dead.
 

I'll say this for Sid: He's certainly loyal to his crew of cronies. First, it's don't fire Brewster. Next, it's how much he misses George Steinbrenner. Now it's don't fire Brewster but if you do, hire Lou Holtz. It's been a good week to watch Sid work! :D
 

Holtz? I'd honestly rather have Herbstreit.
 

Skip Holtz

what about Lou's kid, Skip Holtz? He's done a pretty nice job over his career.
 



Tonight's Sports Show, just like the past three weeks, is must see TV. Hopefully Reusse is there and Sid can scream at him some more.
 

Wow. Sid is just crazier than hell at this point.
 

I caught about two minutes and missed the general drift of where Sid was heading (as if he knew). It's just really sad for me to listen to him stumble along now. I never liked the guy that much, but his patter is simply so incoherent now, I wonder why they keep him on the show. Maybe he owns WCCO.
 

I'm surprised he didn't call for the rehire of Bernie Bierman.
 




I sometimes wonder if he's serious when he says things like this. If he is, he's gone the rest of the way senile. Even if Lou weren't way too old, the U Admin. wouldn't touch him and Sid's around them enough to know that.

Anyway, it's no worse then the staff Walters would have us assemble. Trestman, assisted by Jack Hanahan, Rob Quinlin and Joe Mauer's uncle.
 


I got ripped by some friends for suggesting the very same thing.

Bring Sweet Lou in for a couple years with Skip as his co-head coach with the understanding the program is Skip's in 3-4 years when Lou bows out and gets buried somewhere.

Do you have a better plan? I don't see anybody that's been rumored as a "long term" solution. If we could convince the father-son tandem to show up... we might be set for Skip's career. (unless the Notre Dame job comes open).

And most of them are less senile. I know an editor at the trib. They wouldove to put Sid out to pasture, but they know it would create a S-storm, especially among their blue haired readers. A.K.A. Subscribers, or"people who can't turn on a computer, let alone get the trib's content for free off the Internet"

Almost ANY plan would be better than what you propose.

First of all, even if what you propose would be remotely possible, why would Skip Holtz leave his current high paying HEAD COACHING JOB at a BCS SCHOOL in the heart of fertile recruiting country and beautiful beaches and weather to come here to babysit his aging father to wait to become head coach at a place that needs a major rebuild? He wouldn't.

Secondly, the University of Minnesota broke NCAA rules on Lou Holtz's watch and given the history of our current administration, they would not hire a head coach with that rap sheet.
 

Sweet Lou back at the helm. The cheatenest charminest coach this side of the Mississippi with the slickest speech impediment you've ever heard. That would be so awesome, it would be like having gopher from winnie the pooh as our coach. I can feel the splatter from here. Minnesssssssssssssota ! Minnesssssssssssota ! Go Gophersssssssssss ! :clap:
 

I ran into Sid the week of the USC game

we were at car dealer each waiting for our cars to be worked on. So it was just the two of us waiting in the customer lounge. They had a TV in there and an episode of Bewitched was. I was explaining that Samatha was a witch and Darrin Stevens was a mortal and had married Samantha. It was all too confusing or him. Anyway we did talk Gopher football and I asked what he thought about their chances of beating USC. He replied that he thought they would not win another game all year - either he is not as nuts as we think or he is full of BS on sports huddle
