Cincy suspends John Brannen

Not that it matters, but the person at Forbes who wrote this was being blackmailed, lost a bet, or meant to type "in Cincinnati" and accidentally typed "the United States."

Something something you drove this guy to the airport as well… rough few years
 
Brannen has to be one of the worst hires I’ve ever seen. What did Cincy see in this guy?

Not true. Cincinnati with its pacific coast beaches, palm trees and beautiful weather all year round is one of the most breathtaking places in the country

Was he a great hire, prob not. That being said, he did take N Kentucky to 2 tourneys in 3 years, after an 8th place finish his first year on the job. Young coach on the rise, people have reached for worse
 
Doesn't sound like they were able to get him for cause.
 
Sounds like it may be an AD problem and not a John Brannen problem. I still don't know what he's accused of for cause? He didn't let the parents cook them potluck suppers and bring orange slices to the games?
 
Cincy might as well embrace the bad boy life and hire Pitino

As of right now the articles I've seen have yet to be able to figure out what Cincinnati will be able to cite for cause. If this costs them their football coach too (who already had opportunities to leave) then they are going to be in deep trouble

I know very little about this, so I promise I'm not being snarky, lol.

If Cinci has a better campus and more research in their portfolio, why are they ranked way lower than UConn on the national ranking scales? Obviously they're all biased in one way or another. But they seem to generally be a reflection of what you hear about schools-ish.

I know A LOT has to do with research and the specific school, and all that. And for my fiance who is defending her PhD this summer, the "prestige" of a school in her field matters less than the advisors you can get and publishing opportunities. Rutgers is randomly like a top 5 school for some subset of her field and super-competitive to get into, even though it's not really that competitive outside of that.

US News "national colleges"
UConn - #63
Cinci - #143

Niche overall:
UConn - #158
Cinci - #171

Forbes:
Uconn - #130
Cinci - #313

WSJ
UConn - #97
Cinci - #291

There's others... but I guess you get the idea.

I’ve always wondered why UC had such a low ranking but attributed it somewhat to UC attracting students who were from Cincinnati and couldn’t afford out of state tuition to go elsewhere. I think they’ve made it a point to add more of a global student body in the past few decades. The campus was a mess while I was there but it was mostly because of all of the construction that has taken place since the early 2000s.... it’s almost unrecognizable now with how amazing I think it looks. The campus area is also right next to the Over the Rhine neighborhood that has been reinvigorated also within the past few decades.
For research purposes it certainly helps to have a few large companies here such as P&G, Kroger and General Electric along side some of the top research hospitals in the country such as Cincinnati Children’s.

"So is there a little wiggle room on that whole not a psychopath thing?"​

One of the reasons UC scores relatively lower in USN&WR and other rankings is because it offers a lot of cooperative education opportunities, primarily in engineering and business, which are mandatory five-year majors (incidentally, UC pioneered the concept of cooperative higher education more than a century ago). Participating students gain OJT, earn income, and build their pre-graduation resumes, but those programs obviously affect the university's four-year graduation rates, an important metric rating entities rely upon to ascertain rankings. Perhaps you should be asking yourself why, if Cincy is ranked so low, it attracts more research dollars and has more successful alumni able and willing to contribute to the school's endowment?

Because it is located in Ohio, a more politically influential state, and uses pork to invest in research infrastructure that allows it to be more competitive when submitting for research grants?

With the DePaul and Loyola jobs taken up, Cleveland State's Dennis Gates should be the guy.

16-4 in Horizon league play this year. The previous four years prior to Gates? No season better than .333 in conference play.

@kobe, what's your take if Gates is the next guy? Stoked? I would.
 
Seeing on the Cincy message board that they have interest in Kimani. Same with a sports writer in El Paso for UTEP (alum).
 
In Ohio the talk is Archie Miller or their former assistant with Cronin at UCLA right now. Don’t think they can afford either if have to pay Brannon. Worries about money... go figure in AAC.
