If we are going to get a coach at a mid major, I want Matt McMahon. He obviously can recognize talent, Ja Morant, and he seems to be in on every major grad transfer and transfer he can be. Casey Alexander would be a solid hire but I have a really good feeling about McMahon

One of the valid complaints about Mick was that he recruited to get teams/players that can run, but never let them go. Next year we should be set up to have the ability to be an excellent fast break team, would be nice to get a coach who can take advantage of that. |

he's my homerun. checks all the boxes, turned a program around, got in the top 50 on kenpom, top 50 offense and defense, high tempo, proven he can win vs top 100 teams. i really dont see that with any of the other candidates. i really hope he's on our list, his name isn't in the media at all. |

Someone also asked him if he had an interest in coaching, and he said "definitely"....this could get interesting real quick

I'm not convinced the media really knows much about the decision process. Even here no one else wants to discuss the top mid-major candidates, which is where the majority of good coaches come from. But I have to think the AD's office is going about things methodically. I hope we don't give in to the local or nostalgic hire when there are options with a superior track record available. Of the list I gave, I think only Mark Schmidt is comparable to Brannen. The others look better to my eye.

Thats where I'm at. I find myself not wanting it to be Brannen because it seems too "easy" of a move. I dont want anybody tied to the school already and I dont want to pick a guy just because he's from near by and has done a solid job at nku. |
