Brewster Fired - Know Any Candidates?

[Fightin' Bison]

Who will the Gophers look at and how will it affect the Bison?

[runtheoption]

This is my official kickoff of the "lakesbison for Head Coach of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers" campaign.

[TransAmBison]

This is my official kickoff of the "lakesbison for Head Coach of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers" campaign.
How can I help the campaign?

[thundarsdaddy]

One thing I have felt both this year and last, is that Coach Bohl kind of uses his TV show as a resume'!

Its one thing to always try to stay positive, but after a while its like watching a lady with obvious implants...the "fakeness" gets old fast!!!

Now I am simply stating on opinion here, but I have felt for a couple years now our beloved Coach has always been advertising himself for a possible "move up" the coaching ladder!!

Now, in reality would the University of Minnesota ACTUALLY take a serious look at Craig Bohl as a possible head coach??

Of course they would, their own track record of decisions in hiring football coach's has made for some really wild times for us in the "boonies" to view!!

I really think they will give Coach Bohl an honest, sincere "look", and a part of me thinks, he might be doing the same to them!!!

As you youngsters like to say...."Just saying??"

[Minneapolis Jack]

Vikings D-Coordinator Leslie Frazier. Already has stated that he would be interested.

[silkamilkamonico]

They will end up with Mangina, IMHO. It's a capacity desireable job, and merely a stepping stone for coaches going somewhere in college, or possibly even the NFL for that matter, IMHO.

[tjbison]

Alumni and general fans will not allow anyone like Bohl again, their next head coach will have NFL and or BCS Conference Head Coaching history. Much like they did with Tubby and Mens BBall program.

Bohl had just as much experience as a head coach when he came here as Brewster had when joining MN and that is ZERO.

[Shawn-O]

The big money wants an "M Man" this time. Trestman will get a look.

[jarhead]

I like Frazier. Even though he's ten years removed from the college game, he's got contacts and credibility all over Big Ten country.

[runtheoption]

I think convincing lakes to get a Gophers tatoo would be very helpful. Also, Minnesota did elect Jesse Ventura, so maybe get lakes to wear a maroon and gold boa 24/7, just like your NDSU boa. That will win over the hearts and minds of Gopher Nation.

I will arrange for some interviews between lakes and his close, personal friend Sid Hartman. I will also convince lakes to get rid of the firedennyguy persona, and stick to being lakes.

[ndsubison1]

Troy Calhoun, Air Force; Al Golden, Temple coach; Mike Leach, former Texas Tech, Mark Mangino, former KU; Jim Leavitt, former South Florida; Kevin Sumnin, Houston (some MN ties); Darrell Bevell, Vikings O-Coordinator; Carl Pelini, Nebraska D-Coord

I will have the rev get an email out right away to lakes. He should be quite easy to convince. Maybe I will have him make a carving as well. The boa is a must. I don't know why everyone doesn't wear them all the time.

Just my guess, but I'm really thinking he'll be the Head Coach at Penn St when the "dead one" finally leaves. I'm not saying that takes him out of consideration of the Minnesota job, but would they take a risk of hiring him and then losing him to PSU?

Roger Thomas. Then he could keep his word that UND would never play the Bison again. Ever.

[Bryan]

Bohl would of had a shot a couple years ago but right now there is a.001 chance Bohl would get the job. the KFAN idiots love to pimp NDSU when it serves there purpose to make fun of the gophers, but I doubt Guard or Barrerio have any clue what the Bison's record is the past three years or that they have never even reached the playoffs. Now with this year slipping away, ZERO chance MN alumni, boosters, and fans would approve this move after Brewster. Bohl needs to worry about his own job security.

[onbison09]

I'm sure this is somewhere else but I'm too lazy to look it up
Maturi said he will sell opportunity at Minnesota, the chance to play
in an impressive stadium in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area.
Most of all, Maturi said, the replacement will have a chance to put his
name on a program that hasn't been to a Rose Bowl since 1962.

"You're not following Vince Lombardi here," Maturi said

[56BISON73]

From another site-----


Having blown through calamity, disappointment and despair, the Gophers finally descended into vaudeville on Saturday, into are-you-kidding-me misfortune and funny-hats-and-rubber-noses pratfalls. Two certain touchdowns were bollixed, a snap sailed into the stratosphere, and the bounce pass somehow became a staple of the playbook. All that was missing was a giant cane, yanking Tim Brewster off the stage and into ignominy."

[zooropa]

I know! This:

http://scrapetv.com/News/Images/kfc%20bucket%20of%20chicken.gif

Principle advantages:

1) cheaper

2) easier to stomach

3) longer shelf-life

4) slightly better Xs and Os coach.

Biggest risk:

Might end up eaten by Mangino.

[WYOBISONMAN]

What about Gus? Although since Maturi got burned by an NFL coordinator once he is not likely to hire another......

Venables=Oklahoma D-coordinator
The Stoops brothers, Mike and Mark


They want a good coach and will pay 3-4 mil up to 5 years to get one this time. Honestly, Bohl probably isn't a candidate due to the last 2 years. Who knows? All i know is there will be no search committee this time, so the President and AD must have someone in mind already.

Lloyd Carr. The guy can coach, good recruiter, and after how Michigan hosed him a few years back, he might have a little extra motivation. But I don't think he's interested at all in coaching anymore.

Big Ten ties. Midwestern boy. Great name and coaching pedigree. Has done an outstanding job at Stanford recruiting where standards are very high.

If you recall, this was his "bio" posted, then unposted, on his website last year

Minnesota Head Coach Tim Brewster has 21 years of coaching experience. Prior to joining the Maroon and Gold, Brew served tenures under coaching legends Mack Browm (sic), Marty Schottenheimer, and Mike Shanahan. Brewster has coached in 10 Bowl games and played in two as a player at Illinois. In total, Brewster holds a coaching record of 113-61-1 (.645). Coach Brewster also has made headlines as an outstanding recruiter. He has inked the likes of NFL stars Vince Young and Chris Sims (sic) at Texas and Alge Crumpler at the University of North Carolina.

I quite agree on the mystery of why the Gophers cannot seem to get out of the doldrums in football. Gopher football hasn't really gotten out of the rut since the Vikings under Bud Grant began flexing their muscles. Gophers haven't won a Big Ten football championship since 1967, a three-way tie with Indiana and Purdue. You may well be right regarding football and hockey. However, Michigan leads the NCAA in the number of national championships in hockey while also having a pretty fair football program throughout the years. Also, I didn't bring up hockey, but, nevertheless, UND with its 24 conference football championships over the years has managed to do well in both football and hockey. Also, to really be honest, the Gophers at one time were outstanding in football, winning five national championships--1934, 1935, 1936, 1940 and 1941--over an eight-season period from 1934 through 1941. Lo, how the mighty have fallen.

[BisonAccountant44]

Thanks for bringing up Northwestern. Back in those same 1930s Northwestern was one of the schools that managed to repeatedly give the Gophers fits. Miami U (the Florida one) from what I understand almost gave up Division I football after the Dolphins began making serious inroads. Pro football really affected the college game in places such as New York City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as well. Consider once proud football programs such as Fordham, New York University, Duquesne, Carnegie-Mellon, Penn among others. It forced a number of those schools to place more of their emphasis on hoops. For the longest period of time many schools were known either as football schools or basketball schools, but generally not both. That, of course, has changed, as schools with big football budgets and revenues and the like have been able to plow in some of those resources into funding top-notch basketball programs as well.

That's the only one he's tossed out without qualification. The other two (Mangino & Leach) he mentions with reservations. Although (IIRC) he says his Mpls media connections are buzzing about Leach--who has about as much business in the Big Ten as Rich-Rod, if you ask me.

The deal with Fulmer comes down to whether, at 60, he wants to deal with the mess in Minnesota. With Minnesota's talent, it's possible they'd respond almost immediately to a good coach (viz Nebraska under Pellini), but do you want to take that risk?

At this point, I wonder how many coaches would take this job just to add to their legacy. How could they do any worse than the Gopher coaches over the past 5-6 years? I have to think they could "turn around" that program over 2-3 years and then re-retire. It almost sounds like the perfect situation for someone like Glen Mason...

As much as I hate to agree with anyone with Sioux in their name, I would have to agree that the Gophers had a great program for a number of years - a long time ago. It is no coincidence that the last outright Big 10 title came in 1961 which was the same year the Vikings showed up. They will never have a consistent great football program until the start of the Los Angeles Vikings era. They will never develop greatness as long as they are the second most popular football in the Twin Cities - actually third most popular when the Bison are in town.
