I'm excited about Wes as the new coach but as a Cincinnati sports fan I've been beaten down so many times that I'm cautious to get too excited.

If I recall, not everyone was exactly raving about him when he was hired It’s the default for people around the program - especially media guys tied to the program - to gush about a new hire. Fans generally eat that stuff up because they are desperate to believe.

Wes will be a good one once he has time to set up his own roster. He’s already a massive improvement in terms of personality fit and the positive energy he brings.

From the outset I was not a fan of the Brannen hiring. He lacked the resume and the interpersonal savvy for a school like UC. Just hearing him speak in public was a red flag as to how he could or couldn’t work with other people.

You are dead on correct about some/most of the media gushing over every hire and the fans who want to believe eating it with a spoon.

I am more positive about Miller, but as Mr. Nacho pointed out, the jury still has at least a small bit of doubt until presented with concrete evidence.
