I think this is probably our best option all things considered.

Now to just convince everyone to stay

Haha good luck with that. Lazy, poor decision. Would rather have the Murray St coach

JoeRunner89 was going to be upset with anyone not named Nick Van Exel.

Let's be realistic here man.

None of us have any freaking clue about who would be better between those two guys. I mean really, how many NKU games have you watched? Murray games? And even if you had, what recruiting connections do you know that either of them have? We have no idea. Unless you actually have some inside information please share.

There's just so many unknowns in these spots to have some hard strong opinion based on limited data and information is pretty dumb.

About the only thing we do know is when Brannen started at NKU they were outside the top 250 in kenpom. Last two years they were top 100. That's a solid improvement. The local media all seems to love him, so that's not a bad thing either, but really we just don't know.

None of us do. Let's hope it works out.

Matt McMahon would have been a fine hire as well.

I think the admin missed a great opportunity in Rick Pitino. I understand the other point of view. I also think there were a few other coaches I’d have preferred over Brannen, but the guy has been a winner in the horizon league. I look forward to seeing how he recruits and the style of play.

Jeff Goodman and Gary Parrish are tweeting out that UC is expected to hire John Brannen.

No school is touching Pitino

Why you think Murray st coach is better? Because he had Ja?

Super happy with Brannen. He’s an offensive mind, local, and did a great job at NKU.
