Not buying it
Covid.. Portal making it easy to bail... Sure.. those all make the situation worse but... I have to believe that half the roster (so far) choosing to leave.. is a vote of NO CONFIDENCE that cannot be ignored. I was a huge fan of the hire and optimistic about the future... a few days ago I thought we had a core to build on.... the people that really know are not talking and well.. we're all filling the vacuum

This is really simple to me: for whatever reason, most of these kids don't want to play for John Brannen. Guy could be a total prick, guy could be Mother Teresa--apportion blame however you like, but he simply can't relate to these kids and develop a relationship with them. Those are simply the facts on the ground, and they don't inspire confidence that this program gets back on solid footing under him. If I'm UC, I'm at least exploring my options at this point.

Almost seems vindictive... oh you wanna start Mikey? Ok you’re starting.... then rides the pine after. Dudes are living in isolation. And coach seemed to Lack any sort of empathy for them. Brannen is dense. Desolate. Singularly focused on just his mission with no connection with the humans on the other side that he is relying on. I don’t think he can handle this job. It was too big of a jump. He should save face & resign. Take a year off and then try to get a mid major job. |

The man is due 75% of his remaining contract if he's fired. 4.5 million. That's probably more than he's made in the 20 years of coaching prior. If it's not, it's close. I want him gone now too. There's no fixing this IMO. And the longer you wait the worse the rebuild is going to get. But I just don't get the "he should resign" comments. There's a good chance this entire situation essentially kills his career as a HC in DI. I gotta imagine even some assistants gigs that may have been available to him had this not went down this way would be off the table for awhile too, as he's going to struggle to recruit. The absolutely worst thing he can do right now is leave millions of dollars on the table just to try to save face.

I’ve never seen player quit during game especially live tv! That’s what Keith did though

Information Vacuum
Unfortunately, this is what you get when there is a vacuum of accurate information.. people fill in their own blanks without any citing of actual facts. The people in the know are NOT TALKING at present.. Feel free to wonder, speculate, etc but don't play it like you have facts to support your words when you dont
