is that he is such a hard worker. He really appears to try hard. You hate to see someone like that fail. But of course---hard work---in any occupation-only goes so far. You do need to have success. But think about this:
Brewster was hired in January and the first recruiting team was signed in February. So you really cant count that as his recruiting class. That was almost entirely Masons class (by the way my gripe against Mason was that I didnt see him as nearly the worker Brewster is). Therefore Brewster has only had two full recruiting seasons that have all been his own. Now most coaches red shirt most of the players as Brewster has. That means that most of his own recruits are only entering their sophomore years this coming year. Unless there is information I am missing it would be crazy to not let his recruits enter their sophomore season before judging him and you could probably even say their junior seasons which would give him two more years. That is why Maturi-despite all the letter writing---is not even considering firing him at this time. I know that as a fact--unless of course things change or some unexpected event or events take place. Nothing is etched in granite. Mason had 10 years. Not to give Brewster four just seems too reactionary.
And remember this---when you lose the disorganized undisciplined play stands out more. It wasnt many games ago where Childress teams seemed disorganized and undisciplined---tons and tons of penalties and questionable coaching decisions now. But win and this is overlooked or forgotten. .
So again---unless there is something going on behind the scenes that I am not aware of----on the surface it would seem crazy not to let him has his recruits at least enter their sophomore seasons.
One of my least strengths in life is patience. I need to work on patience. But even I am asking for more time. And I have been following the gophers since the mid 50s. If anyone should lack patience with this program it would be me. I am about fed up. I have had many more downs than ups following this program. But we do need another year or two of patience the way I see it. And dont think I dont see the warts of the gophers play on the field of late.
