In other news, Tim Brewster has announced he has put his home in Minnesota up on the market. He is hoping to have it sold by the first week of December.

They better do something after the terrible mistake of getting rid of Glen Mason. Would be nice to see Minnesota return to what they once were.

But why this guy? He had one or 2 good years at Kansas and was forced out for some shady reasons. They couldn't get a better coach?

^^ Let's be real here for a moment--- what up and coming coach in his right mind would leave his current gig to go to a school who in a great year might finish 4th in the B10 once every few years or so? The up and comer's (Sumlin, Bud Foster, Luke Fickell, Al Golden, Edsall, Schiano) have either a nice gig as it stands or are in line for a bigger, better school.

New stadium and facilities and a solid recruiting class the past 3 years. I agree that people are not going to jump at the opportunity to go to Minnesota but there has to be better options IMO.

One or two good years? He finished with winning record at Kansas. A Kansas team that before he got there was regularly beating by Oklahoma and Nebraska by 50 plus. The guy is a very good coach he turned a pathetic team into a respectable team. Glen Mason was 47-54-1 there and then took the Minnesota job where they started getting into bowl games. Mangino was 50-48.

Glen Mason was considered for the Ohio State job, Mangino has proven himself to be a very good coach.

Minnesota athletic director Joel Maturi denied KSTP-TV's report to the (St. Paul) Pioneer Press, calling it "frustrating." He said Mangino came "as a friend to coach Brewster," who has come under intense criticism since losing to South Dakota two weeks ago.

I actually like the hire. Winning at Kansas in the Big XII is like winning at Minnesota in the Big Ten.

"KSTP Channel 5, an ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, is reporting that Mangino had been hired as a consultant to University of Minnesota football coach Tim Brewster."

the proverbial kiss of death for an incumbent coach...Brewster's toast

Minnesota's AD denied that report. Brewster's probably still toast...

I do not think he is a bad coach but off the field issues cost him his job in Kansas IMO. There is no reason to bring those kind of issues to a team who is going to need to be rebuilt.
