... he pointed out that Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz went 1-10 and 3-9 at Iowa before turning the Hawkeyes around. The Gophers' 2010 season is not lost, he insisted, not before the team has played a single Big Ten game.
Brewster's in all-out survival mode | StarTribune.com
This guy just keeps talking and giving his critics ammo. A couple more quotes:
"We're good enough to win football games. And we will," Brewster said. "We're going to beat some teams in the Big Ten that don't expect to be beaten by Minnesota."
(See, there is hope for the three of you who didn't pick Minne in the suicide pool. When Brewster was hired he promised a Rose Bowl. Now its simply promising an upset in Big 10 play)
"Every coach knows he's here to win football games. But you also have to understand that there's a process to get there," Brewster said. "I don't think there's any question that our program, and the players that we have in the program, are much further along than when we got here. We've improved our team each year -- up until this point.
"The answer in college football is not [to] change the coach out all the time. That's easy -- change the coach, change everything," Brewster said. "That's not the answer. The answer is, make a commitment to be the best you can be at all levels. Add patience and understanding, and you'll be rewarded."
Funny thing to say from a guy who is on his third Offensive Coordinator in his fourth season.
As a HAWK living in Minnesota, I would love to see this clown stay as the gopher coach for years, thereby dooming any possibility of having to live amongst their bandwagon fans if the blind pig ever finds an acorn. However, this year's goopher team has played so poorly its getting to be embarrassing for the whole conference.
