Colorado assistant coach responds to criticism from viral video: ‘Coached 5 years within the NFL’

Former faculty and NFL quarterback Danny Kanell doesn’t suppose the teaching type of Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster would translate on the subsequent degree.  

Brewster, who coached underneath Deion Sanders at Jackson State University, went viral this week for the best way he performed a group assembly at Colorado.

As the video made its rounds, Kanell commented on Twitter that Brewster’s actions have been why most faculty coaches are unsuccessful within the NFL.

Brewster fired again on Twitter, pointing to his résumé as to why Kanell’s assertion was incorrect. 

“Hey Danny I coached 5 years within the NFL and wish to suppose was very profitable, ask Antonio Gates,” he posted to social media. 

Brewster did spend 5 years within the NFL as a decent ends coach for the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos.

From 2002-04, Brewster coached legendary tight finish Antonio Gates, who in 2004 set the report for many touchdowns in a single season by a decent finish with 13. The mark has since been surpassed by three gamers, with Rob Gronkowski setting a brand new high-water mark in 2011 with 18 receiving touchdowns.
