What does Brew sell?

[wels0081]

There has been some talk about keeping Brewster around until the end of the season for, at the very least, recruiting purposes.

Initially, I thought that made great sense. At least that way there will be something waiting for whomever takes the job.

However, now I'm wondering. If you're Brewster--- what do you have to sell? Sure, you've got the campus amenities that aren't going anywhere. But how do you convince a high school senior you're going to be here for his freshman year, let alone all four years of his eligibility?

What do you hang your hat on? "We're really working to build a program here..." Most parents will take one look at the results of year 4 and give him the boot from their living room.

I guess what I'm saying is--- put yourself in a recruit's shoes: what credibility does Brew have left?

Brewster is sucha good used-car salesman, he could sell you a 91' Pontiac grand prix that was rusted out and been in a flood for ten grand. He sold me on the program from day one and my friends and family tell me I am kinda of a cynic. go figure.

Good point. I think there IS value in things like playing time as well as getting a college scholarship to play football. I think there are many good things that the U of M has to offer - just not playing for Tim Brewster.

At this point he has GOT to know he is gone at the end of the year. The only thing missing is the vote of confidence from Maturi - that would pretty much do it.

He's not selling anything. There is almost no recruiting going on now, I think there is only 1 scheduled official visit. The only thing he can be selling is the program to the kids already there, to make sure they stay there and help with the transition.
