...for his coaching job down the stretch this year... (What did you think I meant with this post title?)
The Gophers D proved itself to be more than adequate versus the middling offenses that make up the pathetic Big 10 this year. We've seen that the D can keep us in games versus superior teams (PSU, OSU, etc)
Yet during that stretch we have seen zero growth on the offensive side of the ball. Jedd Fisch deserves the blame as does Adam F'N Weber. Yet the ultimate responsibility falls on Tim Brewster. HE'S the one who hired Fisch, HE'S the one who throws Adam F'N Weber out there time after time, HE'S the one who brings a stud of an athlete in as the jewel of his recruiting class (Gray) and then refuses to use him, HE'S the one who brings in a slew of talented WR's yet can't find a way to incorporate them into the offense.
Brew had plenty of time these last few weeks to try SOMETHING and failed to do so -- he's the one who has to come down on Fisch to work on something, anything to improve this HORRIBLE offense.
It is truly astounding that the offense is this bad, in a conference this full of crappy teams, yet we were in virtually every game this year -- including today versus a team that is supposedly 13th in the BCS standings; yet I saw almost no difference between them and us today. EXCEPT THEY OCCASIONALLY COULD MOVE THE GOD-D*MN BALL AND SCORE ONCE IN A WHILE!
WE SCORED 7 POINTS IN 3 BIG TEN ROAD GAMES THIS YEAR (AT PSU, OSU, AND IOWA). HORRIBLE, F.
Do Fisch or Brewster have a clue? Do we have any hope of the program improving? Or is Brew simply a huckster as many have opined? I say give him next year to see if his recruits show anything and the offense can be any better.
At least sophomore LB Gary Tinsley looked the part of a stud today, and our D figured out how to blitz and consistently pressure the QB. That and 2 bucks will get you a cup of joe. Dammit I hate this game sometimes.

Hey JJ - just a heads up. I softened your headline a smidge. A bit more inflammatory than we probably need on here. I hope with a good nights sleep, you'll agree. All other content is 'as is'.
I've also posted the 'counterpoint' to your post. See whatcha think.
