I understand you might have a friendship or relation with John Brannen but blaming the AD or telling us both sides are wrong isn’t ok. The only reason this is taking a long time is because UC had to follow a process to fire him for cause. The clown show coach brought this on UC. Blame Bohn for the hire and the contract but stop putting this on the current administration.

Maybe that's on the AD for not developing the right relationships with the media? If we are going to bottom-line (i.e. buck stops here) the player transfers as Brannen's failure to develop the right relationship with the players, it seems reasonable to bottom-line the public criticisms as Cunningham's failure to build the right relationships with the press and fans? Where does that buck stop if not with the AD?

I think is really clear that a bunch of people have pre-existing friendship with John Brannen that go back from is time at NKU and at Marshall. Nothing wrong with that.

Wait I thought he was a monster who doesn't care about his players to the point of nearly torturing them to get better? Seems a bit weird that your version also is that he makes these loyal friends at every stop that stand up for such a "moronic" "clown" who "sucks as a coach" to the point of being "unhealthy for the program and the University" as you objectively describe him.

Press credibility is dying. You seem to define "unbiased" as only opinions that agree with yours. I'm happy to a few taking a stand for their credibility and challenging those in power - especially when it goes against their self-interests (according to you.)
