Tim Brewster did not get the job done.
Good guy and gave it his all, but it did not work out. Time to bring in Dungy and keep Brewster as recruiting coordinator.
8. Has a GIANT ego, and at the first sign of success, started looking ahead to which helmet school he was going to work for next. Don't believe that he was just happy to be here and wanted to build us into a national power.
Agree with most of what you said. Thought he could have done better with the local press, but it's difficult to do that when the first salvos after your hiring all decry the fact that you got the job. Still, the "Fat Pat" text was out of line.
I've never questioned his commitment though.
This thread is talking about Brewster not Mason, but thanks.
Mason started flirting in year 5 with his alma mater. Brew pathetically started boasting about upgrading in year 1.7. But thanks.
6 wins and 20 losses in Big Ten play. He has led us to 0 wins and 7 losses in 7 attempts against Wisconsin and Iowa. Those are the facts. I am very sad about the state of Golden Gopher Football. I blame Maturi and Prexy B. much more than I blame Brewster. Brewster did not hire himself and renew his own contract. Some say Brewster is a very nice man. I don't question that. I'm sure that he can be a very nice man.
I want to see the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers win Big Ten football games. That is not happening with Brewster. Brewster can only be judged by his Big Ten won/loss record. Brewster up to this date is a .23076 coach in the Big Ten. Where does that rank him among the current Big Ten coaches that he competes against? Brewster is quite a talker, but, I find him very hard to listen to. You see, I try to match his words with what I see happening in Big Ten play. His record is not congruent with what his words say.
Brewster IS what his Big Ten record of wins vs. losses is. No more. No less.
So you don't remember Mason looking at the Michigan State and Louisiana State jobs the first moment he had success here in 1999? His famous "if the phone rings, I'll answer it" quote?
That's not what the OP is talking about but thanks for pushing your agenda.
academic programs and athletic department in 1999? That's right, the Haskin's scandal hit the campus. I still recall being at the Sun Bowl game when the Oregon fans started chanting "who writes your papers?" to our football team. Of course Tonya M Brown was the acting athletic director and things were very bleak for the entire athletic department. Finally, after MSU and LSU started contacting Mason, Prexy Y did a VERY "prexy-ish" thing and brought in Tom Moe to take over the Men's athletic department AND extended Mason's contract. They assured him that the entire athletic department was NOT going to be shut down. You MUST remember that 2727. The University of Minnesota athletic department was a disaster at that moment in time. (Thanks to clem and his academic fraud accomplishments.)
To some of you people, that was all ancient history and Mason was merely looking for a way away from here. That was NOT the case at all. All hell was breakiing loose at Minnesota. MSU was about to enter a very shakey period as well with their own problems within their football program. LSU ended up taking Sabin from MSU, I believe. That worked out pretty well for Sabin, who had the same agent as Mason (Neil Cornrich.)
Look at EVERYTHING going on at the U and around the college football scene. It is NOT as simple as some would try to make it in hind-sight. There were things going on that went WAY beyond Mason's "loyalty."
But, any way you look at things: right now, in 2010, our Golden Gopher Football Program is suffering a world of hurt. I am NOT happy with where the Gopher Football Program is today.
