John Brannen to Cincinnati

[moqui]

which is not a bad job, imho

maybe this is where thad matta resurfaces? his ability to recruit the midwest would mean he could pile up a lot of wins in that conference

 

[gilardino]

Rick Pitino. No doubt the Bearcats hire him!

Goodman is saying it’s the Northern Kentucky HC’s job if he wants it.
Woj is reporting Nick Van Exel wants the job.

[OHIORANGES]

John Brannon, NKU’s Coach seems like the favorite

 

[Owens guy]

Richard Pitino an option too. He just signed a contract extension at Minnesota but it has a low buy out and he was a probably getting fired this year if he wouldn't have made the tourney. Seems like coaches are jumping teams now if they feel they are on the hot seat.

Didn't Venus Flytrap play PG for the Bearcats in the earl 70's?

Frank Martin

Martin says he will not pursue the Cincinnati job.

I've said it before and I'll say it once more: Thad Matta is permanently retired from coaching.

Frank Martin

I’d prefer to see Kenyon Martin.

On a serious note, if they hire my guy Nick Van Exel they instantly become my second team.

 

[Ghost]

If Ron Artest (Metta) doesn't get the St. Johns gig, give him this one.

Why would Martin go from the SEC to the AAC?

Cinci has had 1 Sweet 16 appearance in what, 10 years?

A quote from Martin:

“I’ve been to Cincinnati,” Martin, a former Bearcat assistant, told The State on Friday. “It’s not that I watch it on TV and ‘Oh, look at them.’ There’s a passion for basketball there that’s incredible. And I lived it. (Former UC coach) Bob Huggins is like a big brother to me. And he’s one of the guys that, as a young high school coach, I idolized.

“And for 48 hours there that all that could be a possibility was intriguing enough for me to open my ears and actually try to pay attention. I slept on it last night and woke up today and just didn’t think it was the right thing to do.”

Just on a basketball level “Cincinatti Bearcats” holds a lot more weight than “South Carolina Gamecocks”. IMO.

But yeah, the scrubby AAC is probably the dealbreaker.

Maybe historically, but what has Cincinnati done in recent (say, 10-15) years?

Their crowning achievement might be the brawl against Xavier.

While true, South Carolina has had two good teams in my lifetime, and one of them lost in the first round in a 2-15 upset.

they're certainly not a powerhouse program by any stretch

I've followed his career pretty closely, as he was a one-time St. Bonaventure University assistant (he was the brains behind the operation during the disastrous Anthony Solomon years). This is a really good hire for them.
