I'm kind of iffy on John Brannen. I know he had success at Northern Kentucky and, when they were on TV, I enjoyed watching them. But, the Cincinnati situation leaves me a little uncomfortable having him as Marshall's next coach.

Whenever we do get a new coach I won?t be surprised if it?s not Capel sadly. He hasn?t done much anywhere he has been but keeps getting high level jobs. Maybe he could do it at a midmajor?
The below quotation is from the above link. "The University of Dayton announced Tuesday that Brannen will serve as a program analyst and senior special assistant to Flyers men's basketball coach Anthony Grant. Grant was an assistant at Marshall under then-head coach Billy Donovan from 1994-96. Brannen played for Marshall from 1995-97 after transferring from Morehead State." It appears that Grant is helping Brannen to regain his coaching career. I doubt if Grant would take a chance on Brannen if all the UC allegations were true? There are always two sides to every story.
