Right, at this point it’s apparently from a guy who we all know we weren’t his first choice. He wasn’t happy, that was visible many different times throughout the season.

Unofficially. The Cincy slangin podcast from a few months ago that first claimed things were sour behind the scenes cited one or both transfers. There's reason to believe that it was both. Which means Harvey and/or Rap as claiming Brannen promised things recruiting and didn't deliver in reality. Plus that he lied to them and was a terror in the locker room. Then we've got the same claims echoed by Mikey Saunders once he left at the end of the year. From Eason it's pretty telling that he (along with Saunders and Harvey) did not thank the coaching staff in his statement. He did thank fans and the city of Cincinnati. Williams article seems to indicate that it's multiple players as well. |

The main issue with the brannen stories is he is pitting a unified locker room and team against one another. This “UC is a family” is absolute horse shit,
He’s undermining his own culture. That seems really strange for a leader of young men to do, To me his issues are personality flaws and you can’t fix those over night: - lacks empathy -pits his team against one another instead of uniting them -out of touch with this generation of recruits -he maybe a sociopath. He probably doesn’t even tell his kids he loves them - is singularly focused on growing grass, while constantly forgetting to water it (he’s a bad Gardener) -plays favoritism in a way that alienates other players. We ain’t firing him unless we can pay a former to come up with juicy story. So we gotta live with this out of touch ass hole. So he better win. Or I hope the pressure keeps him awake at night until he resigns. Because he is not longer just a coach I always thought was in over his head, he’s now a guy who is threatening to completely destroy UC basketball for multiple years to come. That’s way different Just win John: |

At minimum it is from both Harvey and Saunders. At most it could include just about everybody. The only players who I've seen absolutely nothing that hints about them disliking Brannen are MAW, Lakhin, DDJ and Keith. But none of them have come out recently in support of Brannen either. All four of them have been pretty much silent.

Hopefully the university is following the same course on their investigations. As I mentioned elsewhere, Cincy Slangin claims that it will cost us 500k less to fire Brannen after April 1st (not sure where they get that from though), so I'm going to continue to hold out hope until then. |
