I'd say that's the direction things are probably trending. Tried telling @TheDeuce there was smoke to rumors of Brannen to Louisville as an assistant. I'm hoping there's a resolution either way by next weekend so we can move on.

It's already been discussed around here a bit, and it's not something that is wanted, from my perspective.

A lot of former players with knowledge of what went down have talked about the situation and it doesn't sound like things were as bad as the departing players made it out to be. And you have to think about the fact that Brannen and Mack are extremely close. They vacation together every year. If he's out at UC, I think he ends up at UL as an assistant.
March 27, 20215 yr Author From Justin Williams article about an hour ago, it's sounding like Brannen has coached his last game at UC. There's a few minor compliance accusations that have to do with team related activities that could be enough to let him go with cause.

I don’t think he ends up at Louisville. It’s a risky hire for Mack, one that I’m not sure Tyra would sign off on.
March 27, 20215 yr I.m sure the NCAA is still breathing down Louisville's neck over the Pitino/Adidas thing. I can't see them hiring anyone with the words compliance issue or allegation attached to them.

I can't see them hiring anyone with the words compliance issue or allegation attached to them. The Pitino issue and this aren't even in the same ballpark. My understanding is Brannen basically practiced longer than what is allowed. Minor considering probably 70% of other coaches are doing the same. Still a compliance issue that is just enough for Cunningham to use for cause to get rid of the coach but don't think it is something that would prevent him from getting an assistant job at UL.
April 3, 20215 yr Maybe there is cause but this smells a lot like UC not wanting to pay Brannen what they owe him to leave early.

The AD needs to do something ASAP... The longer this drags out, the worse shape UC's program is going to be in.
