Time to fire Brewster?

The honeymoon is over.

Let's look at the facts:

Tim Brewster has been in Minnesota for a month, more than enough time to recruit in the state and visit top-flight prospects throughout the country.

The Gophers signed just 8 Minnesota players, which means at least 10 others will leave to play D1 football somewhere else.

That's not acceptable.

Brewster isn't one of us, he doesn't understand the importance of staying in Minnesota. It's Johnny-come-latelys like him that hurt Minnesota, not help it. When these kids leave Minnesota, they will have a very difficult time coming back here to earn a good living. Brewster doesn't understand that, because he hasn't lived it like we have lived it.

Not only can't he recruit, he apparently can't coach either. The football team hasn't won a game yet this year and the basketball team has done nothing since he was hired, going 2-5 over the last month.

Is this why the U fired Glen Mason and Dan Monson and then paid them millions to walk away? Now we have a guy who can't recruit and also seems to know nothing about football or basketball.

Brewster's been given a fair shot and its time to move on. The players ignored his pleas to become a part of Gopher Nation. If you can't recruit in a city like Minneapolis, you aren't cut out for the big time.

The U should have hired Tony Dungy and Flip Saunders when it had the chance.
