I think Brewster was going off the obvious connections to Shanahan (Redskins), and Cutler (chicago). carroll, kinda came out of left field and after Sid's conversation with Brewster. So unless you expect head coaches to predict the future, he's no more at fault for this than you or me.
"Unless one expects the head coach to predict the future..."
That is one of the Brew's major flaws. Over the past 3 years, he's always predicting the future, PUBLICLY. Too much talk about winning Big 11 championships, taking Gopher Nation to Rose Bowls, contending for national championships, hiring the equivalent of 'killer shot' assistants, keeping the staff fully intact for another year, recruiting with/against the big boys and reeling in the Michael Floyd's, Willie Mobley's, Seantrel Henderson's, et al.
How many of the Brew's bold, public predictions have come true?
Too much talk, but never backing any of it up.
You'd think the guy would have learned something about managing expectations, especially as it relates to those not immediately inside the program.
What happens when the Gophers are sitting at 5-7 next Thanksgiving weekend, and then home for the Holidays? The earlier poster was correct...the Brew brings all of this down upon himself.
