Won't happen unfortunately but he is a damn baller. He was on our hot board in 2008 and encouraged to come and could have probably landed the job. Instead stayed at at Minnesota which is just a crappy program all around.

• Tim Brewster enters his fourth season as the Seminoles’ tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2016, having firmly cemented himself as not only the nation’s premier tight ends coach, but also college football’s top recruiting coordinator.
• The Seminoles’ 2016 recruiting class is ranked No. 1 in the nation and features 18 four- or five-star rated players as well as 13 Under Armour All-Americans and four U.S. Army All-Americans. It marks the Noles’ third straight top-three class. Brewster was named the ACC’s Top Recruiter by ESPN and made 247Sports’ Top 10 Recruiters list and was among Rivals’ Top 25 Recruiters.
• Brewster also developed current Buffalo Bill Nick O’Leary into the nation’s top tight end. In 2014, O’Leary won the John Mackey Award, given to college football’s most outstanding tight end, and was a consensus All-American. O’Leary became the top tight end in Seminole history and one of the best in ACC history from 2013-14. O’Leary finished with 618 yards receiving and six touchdowns on 48 catches en route to All-ACC first team honors in 2014, after hauling in 33 receptions for 557 yards and seven touchdowns in 2013. Overall, O’Leary left Florida State as the school leader in every category among Seminole tight ends, including receptions (114), yards (1,591) and touchdowns (18). O’Leary was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
• After the departure of O’Leary, Brewster’s tight end corps was still an integral part of the Florida State offense in 2015. Redshirt freshman Ryan Izzo led the way with 14 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns, while becoming an outstanding blocker that helped pave the way for Dalvin Cook’s school record 1,691 rushing yards and an offense ranked fourth in the ACC in scoring offense (31.7), passing offense (255.8) and total offense (424.0). Redshirt sophomore Jeremy Kerr’s 1-yard, fourth-and-goal touchdown at Florida propelled the Noles to a 27-2 victory over the ninth-ranked Gators.
• In 2013, O’Leary was a dominant force on a Florida State squad that set the national record for points (723). One of three finalists for the Mackey Award, O’Leary was named to the All-ACC Second Team and scored All-America Third Team from CBSSports.com and Lindy’s. O’Leary averaged 16.9 yards per catch – a mark that led all tight ends in the nation. In addition to helping the Seminoles set the national points mark, O’Leary’s blocking and receiving talents helped the Noles set the FSU and ACC record for single-season total offense (7,267 yards), points per game (51.6) and yards per play (7.67), while leading the country with 94 touchdowns.
• It’s no coincidence that Florida State has had some of the nation’s top tight end play in Brewster’s three years at FSU. Brewster was the tight ends coach for the San Diego Chargers from 2002-04 and the Denver Broncos from 2005-06 after coaching that same position at North Carolina from 1989-97 and Texas from 1998-2001. Brewster coached All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates while with the Chargers and saw six tight ends sign NFL contracts during his UNC and Texas tenures. He was the head coach at Minnesota from 2007-10 and the wide receivers coach at Mississippi State in 2012.
• In addition to FSU’s No. 1-ranked class by ESPN in 2016, Brewster and the Seminoles landed the nation’s second-best recruiting class by ESPN and No. 3-ranked class from 247Sports in 2015. Among the 2015 recruiting class was three five-star and 12 four-star recruits, including three of the top 11 players in the country as rated by ESPN.
• FSU had another spectacular Signing Day in 2014, inking 13 ESPN Top 300 prospects, three consensus five-star recruits in the 247Sports composite rankings, 13 four-star players and 11 three-star Noles. ESPN ranked Brewster the nation’s No. 6 recruiter for 2014, while 247Sports rated him No. 7. The Seminoles’ recruiting class was rated No. 3 nationally by ESPN and No. 4 by 247Sports in 2014.
• Brewster joined the Florida State coaching staff in February of 2013 following a stint in 2012 as the wide receivers coach at Mississippi State where he helped the Bulldogs break several records. Brewster was the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers from 2007-2010 before spending the 2011 season as a college football analyst for Fox Sports. He led the Golden Gophers to the Insight Bowl in both 2008 and 2009, while Brewster’s teams have played in 15 bowl games overall. Prior to Minnesota, Brewster spent five seasons in the National Football League. He concluded his second season as tight ends coach for the Denver Broncos in 2006. Brewster instructed the San Diego Chargers tight ends from 2002-04 and held additional responsibilities as the team’s assistant head coach for the 2004 season.
• During his tenure with the Chargers, Brewster oversaw the rapid development of Gates, who in 2004 earned first-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press and a Pro Bowl selection after playing only his second year of football since high school. Gates set an NFL single-season touchdown record (13) for tight ends in 2004 while ranking third in receiving yards (964) and fourth in receptions (81) among NFL tight ends.
• Before working for San Diego, Brewster enjoyed success coaching tight ends at the University of Texas (1998-2001) and the University of North Carolina (1989-97). He worked on Mack Brown’s staffs at both schools and developed six tight ends who signed NFL contracts.
• In four years at Texas, Brewster tutored two tight ends who earned All-Big 12 Conference honors, including 1998 first-team selection Derek Lewis, and coached two players who signed NFL contracts in Lewis and Bo Scaife, who was drafted in the sixth round by Tennessee in 2005. Brewster’s tight ends at Texas blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his four seasons at the school, highlighted by Ricky Williams’ 2,124-yard season in 1998.
• In nine years at North Carolina, Brewster mentored four All-ACC selections at tight end and helped the school advance to six consecutive bowl games from 1992-97. As recruiting coordinator, his efforts secured the talent that helped the 1997 team go 11-1 and finish fourth in the nation.
• Brewster guided Alge Crumpler to a second-team All-ACC distinction and honorable mention All-America accolades from Football News as a sophomore in 1997. He also mentored Freddie Jones to a first-team All-ACC selection in 1995 and again in 1996 when Jones set a North Carolina single-season record for receptions by a tight end (32) to garner third-team All-America honors from Football News.
• His tight ends at North Carolina were critical to the team’s rushing success as their blocking helped clear the way for five different 1,000-yard seasons, including Natrone Means’ back-to-back 1,000-yard years in 1991 and ‘92. Greg DeLong, a first-team All-ACC tight end in 1994, twice earned ACC Lineman of the Week honors for his blocking in 1996 under Brewster’s tutelage.
• Brewster spent 1987-88 as head coach at Central Catholic High School in Lafayette, Ind., directing a wide-open offense while his squad’s won 15 of 23 games during that period. He developed Indiana’s passing leader in both of his seasons as head coach.
• Brewster began his coaching career in 1986 at Purdue, where he coached tight ends and offensive tackles as a graduate assistant.
• A former two-time All-Big Ten Conference selection at the University of Illinois, Brewster led the nation’s tight ends in receiving in 1983 and captained Illinois to the 1984 Rose Bowl against UCLA. Brewster, who graduated from Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in political science, participated in training camps of the New York Giants (1984) and Philadelphia Eagles (1985).
• Brewster was born Oct. 13, 1960, in Phillipsburg, N.J. He and his wife, Cathleen, have three sons: Eric, Clint and Nolan.
