The phone is ringing in Seattle. Let’s get the band back together.

It’s real and it’s raw. Time to get the bear.

Do any of his sons still have eligibility left?

Bwahahahahahaha!

I’ll be cheering for him.

Ditto. I liked the guy. He actually thought he could win here, he just didn't understand that rah rah sloganeering wasn't enough to win at the P5 level. I'll never forget that year we were 7-1 before it all fell apart, I actually thought he figured it out and we were onto something

I think he probably understood that, but also realized it was all he really had to offer. Glen Mason could say "look at what I did at Kansas." Jerry Kill could say "look at my track record at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois, etc." Fleck was able to leverage his work at Western Michigan.

Having that previous head coaching experience and success can help establish a culture, get buy-in from players and provide a resume to the media to build some legitimate excitement around the program. Brewster simply didn't have that resume, he wasn't even a DC/OC, so all he could really do is use those slogans and be a promoter.

I remember thinking his 7-1 record would catch the attention of other schools and they would poach him away from us. (silly me)
