Charley Walters: Minnesota Gophers' coaching search turns to fired Miami Hurricanes coach Randy S...

I'm so happy Tim Brewster like Glen Mason will be laughing all the way to the bank and pointing the finger at Maturi.

Tim Brewster for making Maturi drink the rose bowl kool-aid he made and Glen Mason for being fired because the students and fans did not like going to mediocre bowl games....look at him now!

Something tells me the trend downward is continuing even with a new hire from Maturi......because that is who he is......a bad evaluator of coaching talents.

The only person in town I expect to know less about the Gopher Football coaching search than Shooter is el Sid.

Another reject coach with a record barely over 500 -are you serious? That little birdies must be a very sick in the head birdie!

A little birdy says your a big fat liar.

says....This would be Joel's last hire. He wouldn't select this guy from Miami.

Whom ever the Gophers hire to coach the football team, it better be th right choice this time. Fans are getting sick of this losing crap. Either they become competitive in the Big Ten or they should drop out of the Big Ten.

So whom ever they hire better be a real coach this time. The Gophers haven't had a real football coach since Lou Holts.

Hey guys, Minnesota transplant here, been here 10 years. Shannon lost control of his teams and never had any disipline, or respect of the players and they ran all over him. Do you really want another coach like that there?

p.s. Ilive in fla. Forgot to say

Sounds like Maturi is at it again. If Shannon can't get a winning record at Miami, with their recruiting draw, he sure won't do it in Minnesota. If they are even considering hiring Shannon, why did they fire Brewster? Mike Leach is the answer. Just do it.

Please tell me it isn't so. A guy who just got fired. That will really fire up the people in Minnesota.

You cannot be serious. The guy couldn't win with the best athletes in the country at Miami.

Are you going to use the little birdie when you are senile enough to replace Sid across the river?

wondering why the projected 2014 twins line-up doesn't include the japanise player they just accquired.

PS everyone is getting worked up over nothing right now, let's see who gets the job first. Before this is over these reporters (and I use the word reporters loosely ) will have Bill Parcells interested in the job. remember they are trying to fill some space here, it's winter, Twins are off, Vikings won, so they can't rip Faver until next week.

Charlie aka Mr Obvious. There is not a decently informed fan that could not write or report better than this.....in their bathrobe.....using Google for research.

Take your "little birdie" schtick and go back to writing Bazooka Joke jokes.

Randy Shannon? All I can say is NO,NO,NO. By the way, why is Maturi still here?

Am I the only one laughing at this photo???
What's the fat, bald guy doing to the ump???
One way to win the game I guess LMAO!!!

I'll keep shouting this from the highest building. Our AD needs to closely examine how Wisconsin, Iowa and other successful Big Ten schools hire their coaches. They need to find an assistant coach from successful Big Ten schools such as Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State as examples who knows and has recruited in those key Big Ten markets. Hiring some so-called big name coach who is not familiar with the Big Ten is going to be like spinning your wheels on glazed ice. Michigan, once a Big Ten powerhouse is now just another Big Ten football program with their hot shot coach they hired away from one of those Virginia schools.
The last thing Minnesota needs is a coach with a trunk-full of baggage.

From what I hear, Randy Shannon had control of the Miami football thugs. He made sure they went to class, kept them out of trouble off the field, and seems like a decent person. Personally, I would like to see Miami lose every game, but Shannon seems like a class act.

Randy Shannon? If you can't win at Miami, you sure as hell can't win at Minnesota! This makes no sense at all and is just another reason that Maturi should have been fired at the same time as Brewster.
