Who cares about the strength coach. These guys were weak all year.

John gutted the program? Really? He gutted the program? He sent 1 player off. 1 player. That isnt GUTTING a program.

stories of players being pitted against eachother? OMG, no way. Show me a college coach or ANY coach who doesnt do that. Thats very common in all sports.

Everything ive heard, the athletic article, players "talking". Its all a bunch of nonsense. Practice was too hard? And then DDJ said coach made it easier for those babies.

There is some truth to this. I honestly think every coach in the country does most of these things he’s being accused of. There has to be more to it in my opinion but we’ve yet to hear anything more, and as time goes by, I wonder if there is any more.

The guys were weak because John Cunningham screwed UC and let one of the best strength coaches in the country walk and then the new guy had Covid to deal with and had very limited time with players.

John is in the show me portion of his contract. Some of you are so in love with the idea of John Brannen that you’re not acknowledging UC’s fall from grace performance wise & then having just 5 players for next season.

I don’t care who we sign this off season. If he’s staying, it’s year 3 and it’s time to expect results. We better make the tourney next season. We better improve year over year.

Exactly. So then we shouldnt be blaming Brannen for Cunninghams **** up.

Im in "in love" with Brannen. I just havent heard anything that depicts him as this "bad guy" that needs to be fired

Well the first **** up with Cunningham the 2nd coach was John’s. John hired the guy
 
I see both sides. A lot of players left. So something is wrong but we are a week and a half in and I’ve yet to hear anything that was worthy of a firing or that bad. Maybe I just don’t have the story, which I don’t. But brannen hardly seems like the devil some are portraying

Agreed.

The information shared so far makes it seem like the players were victims of circumstance more so than victims of an overly oppressive coaching regime.

I don't blame any individual player for leaving. I wish each of them well with the rest of their careers. I just hope no unnecessary damage is done to the program as a result of the players' unhappiness.

If more serious allegations/statements come about, I will have no problem changing course with my perceptions.
 

We have to move on.

Will have to bite the bullet and fire him,

He’d be clearly the worse hire in that year of coaching hires. But I wish we’d find cause now, I think John’s an ******* and so is his wife (though she finally made her Twitter private), I think he’s in over his head and is not ready for this level.

UCLA, vTech, Bama, ark are all schools that are recruiting better, made the tourney, with 2nd year coaches. 3 out 4 are in the sweet 16

I mean even Mike Anderson at St. John’s is better than Brannen.


When will the excuses stop for this soulless loser who coaches soulless basketball with team rules that seem right out of Alabama in the 1960’s or something.

Haven’t you made arguments in the past of how recruiting to p5 schools are easier? Like recruiting to UCLA is easier?

No chance in hell we fire him without a cause. Wont even be an option. He will finish out his contract if anything

His literally making up shit to fit his narrative, I have second hand embarrassment

Nobody here is “in love” with John Brannen omg a hahah

Not sure I understand this.

If we were "weak all year" then that's even more reason to care about the strength coach.

If your position is that the guy wasn't good at his job and he won't be missed then it needs to be pointed out that John Brannen hired him.

But to answer your question (who cares about the strength coach?), I care about the strength coach. And you should too.

We were weak all year. Players easily getting pushed off the ball. Not holding onto the ball. Not being able to box someone out (when they put a body on them). Not being able to rip the ball through contact and finish.

Those are what I look at and the strength coach didnt get it done with these guys. Im not putting this one on brannen at all. This guy was brought in really late. We lost Mike and they had to scramble to get someone during a pandemic where you couldnt interview in person. We dont know what deal he was given. Was it a seasonal trial deal that just didnt work out? Brannen told him this isnt going to work and he gets mad because he moved his family here? IDK the aspects. I just know our guys got pushed around all year. so... NO. I dont care about THIS strength coach.
 
Before the team rules crap came out I already was over Brannen, something never seemed quite right with him. Then I learned that he wasn’t welcoming of us using practice facilities at NKU. I bet my house he’ll welcome NKU with open arms to use UC facilities. The kids he recruits and how I throws certain players under bus he doesn’t have right coaching skills to deal with mainly “BLACK” players. I’m not calling him racist but I can see where the black players not listening to him irritates **** out of him.

whatever drugs youre on are not the good kind. There isnt a single coach in america that would welcome another team to practice and play in their gym all year. This is youre house and your dad who doesnt live here just let someone else move in.

Mika, Davenport and DDJ all praise him. Get your head out of your own ass man. Its smells like shit in there
 
Ddj quit when he seen we weren’t making ncaa, Williams quit during game on live TVs when he thought season was over against WSU, Brannen quit on team during live game next day when team got blow out by 40. That’s cause to fire not staying on court for entire game. Dude weird ass hell I can tell you that.

Williams had a concussion dude.

Lol 3 players out of what 20 he’s encountered in 2yrs at UC? Gtfoh even grumpy ass Paul brown let the kids play on brand new stadium. You act like it was charity case, I’m pretty sure that check was more than he got paid as coach
 
Williams had a concussion dude.

Bro are you serious or just weird teenager? How hell can you play NEXT DAY with concussion. Brannen praised KW before he ever coached him in game. Past 2yrs ever interview on tv coach has called that man out for not playing within his system. Final game when you think we it’s over you act a azz, seen that movie too many times kid. Ddj, kw, Brannen all quit
 
Jhub, remember when Brannen called KW his perfect style of player? Who in their heart still believe that to be true? Has he recruited KW style player yet?
