Former college and NFL quarterback Danny Kanell does not think the coaching style of Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster would translate at the next level.
Brewster, who coached under Deion Sanders at Jackson State University, went viral this week for the way he conducted a team meeting at Colorado.

As the video made its rounds, Kanell commented on Twitter that Brewster’s actions were why most college coaches are unsuccessful in the NFL.
WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
Brewster fired back on Twitter, pointing to his résumé as to why Kanell’s statement was incorrect.
“Hey Danny I coached 5 years in the NFL and would like to think was very successful, ask Antonio Gates,” he posted to social media.
Brewster did spend five years in the NFL as a tight ends coach for the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
