Earlier this morning, I made a brief post asserting that I think the Cincinnati Bearcats would be better off cutting bait at season’s end with John Brannen. I continue to hold this opinion. I am highly concerned about how uncompetitive the Bearcats looked yesterday against Houston. My desire is for Cincinnati remain a national power in basketball and I fear that the program is beginning a slide into mediocrity.
Nevertheless, I acknowledge that the vast majority of Bearcats fans who have articulated their opinion to me wish to keep Coach Brannen on. I respect and understand their opinion, particularly in this most trying of seasons.
