All in the “insider” reports are that UC would be absolutely ok if Harvey didn’t come back and they didn’t expect it. So it had nothing to do with Covid. Appeared to be mutual even

I just think John is all analytics and zero soul. Again just my read on him. He’s dryer then the Arizona desert.

So on the coaches show apparently John puts it on himself to “find more joy” in the day to day grind

Hopefully he realizes his dry empathy lacking personality and style is the exact opposite UC needs during a pandemic where these unpaid athletes are sacrificing every thing to play for him who gets to go home to his family every night while they isolate in dorm rooms the size of prison cells.

So how does a guy with zero charisma turn an NKU program around and be successful and then completely lose it at the next stop? I am just saying it’s not all adding up.

Well that didn’t last long. Now you know exactly what the problem is from afar and calling him out about your hunch

Prison cells? Sacrifice everything? Dry Empathy lacking?

At least you aren’t dramatic. Cronin sold the privilege to where the jersey but you are saying the coach should be the one on notice about player sacrifice? Let’s get consistent here

In a year of Covid, where the college experience is generally part of the deal, yes the players are making huge sacrifice.

Imagine being unpaid and some one telling you to self isolate for 25 days. No girls. No parties. No big man on campus, no family. Literally all classes are in your dorm.

And all this sacrifice for a 5 min a game in Dou’s case or 10 min in Harvey’s case.


And if you can’t see that... then you and John are one in the same good luck with that

So because of COVID Dou should be playing more? 8.5 for him by the way and over 16 for Harvey. Using real numbers isn’t as dramatic I know. Covid is not the coaches fault and he helped deliver meals to players. I have no idea where you are going with this. What exactly are you proposing here??

Literally no mention ever of Brannen being a dick for 1.5 years then after a 40 pt loss his own staff and players are afraid if him? Wtf sounds like a trash interview. People coming out of the woodwork this week

Hmm you don’t think all the mid season player transfers were because of a reason ?
