I want Gates. I think my second choice would be Nored or Tang. I also want John Jakus, he doesn't seemed to be involved.

I'm slowly warming up on Erik Martin, he'd be my fourth choice. I just worry about the pressure he will feel taking his first coaching job at UC. Much like I said with Brannen, I think being too connected to the fans/local area can be a bad thing. Brannen seemed to try to hard to please the fans and it backfired. I don't think Martin/Van Excel would be content to settle as an "old boys club" and not work hard, but that's a possible worry too.

UC is having a ceremony tonight for Darren Davenport. So if the announcement is coming today it should be early.

Brannen wasn’t connected locally in right places. Martin can call up the area players best players fathers for a drink. He literally knows the coaches and parents personally

Sounds like a lot more coaches were being thought about than the original conversation. Some in the original conversation may not even have been called. So whatever happens I think this went better than last time when we reached a consensus in no time flat.

Still think we end up with Martin and if we do we better get The Quick!

I don't know how you can spend 6 years in northern KY and Cincy and not have local connections but if true that is a sad sad statement

The guy didn't have social skills, that's how.

Don't think he is too reliable, but there is a ton of smoke right now that it's Erik Martin and the news will be out soon.
