As noted yesterday, there have been reports percolating just below the surface that Tim Brewster may have an interest in the Kansas job, and vice versa.
Even Brewster’s own athletic director, Joel Maturi, has heard the rumors about the Minnesota head coach, but had no clue as to their validity.
“There are rumors that he’s going to Kansas, so I don’t know,” Maturi said. “What can I say? So I can’t guarantee it, no. I can’t guarantee the decisions of other people.”
“I’m smart enough to know that (Brewster’s) not going to tell me; nor is the athletic director (Lew Perkins) at Kansas going to tell me until it’s a done deal.”
Perhaps in an effort to appease his current boss, who was somewhat vague about his coach’s future with the Gophers in mid-November, Brewster went on the offensive today and attempted to quash any Jayhawk fires that are out there burning.
By way of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Brewster said he’s not interested the Kansas job or any other position for that matter.
“I have not spoken with anybody,” Brewster said. “I have no interest in any other job besides the University of Minnesota.”
Brewster also texted Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com‘s Big Ten blog, stating that he is not a candidate for the Kansas vacancy.
