Brandon Sosna Watch

Brandon Sosna has not spoken on the record yet about Mike Bohn.

Considering he was thisclose to Bohn at USC and Cincinnati, he obviously has a wealth of knowledge about what was going on. He had to know about disgruntled employees. I heard from some at USC during his time there, including a few who thought Sosna was unapproachable, just like his boss.

A few anecdotes:

  • He ghosted a former co-worker after promising to help them get a football job at USC.
  • Some employees claimed they could never meet with him to voice concerns about the dept.
  • When he got hired at USC, he indirectly contacted me to have lunch. I said OK and then never heard from him again.

These all sound like traits he picked up from Bohn, to be fair.

My guess is Sosna is communicating behind-the-scenes with some media right now, trying to protect his reputation from being more tarnished. And maybe some higher-ups at USC too. The more Bohn becomes toxic, however, the more it hurts Sosna. He was the Boy Wonder to many USC fans and it’s getting harder to defend him. The anonymity of Detroit probably feels good to him right now.

Maybe we should start a tally of how many days go by until he speaks. He wouldn’t like that.

    I doubt he wanted to have lunch with a third-rate blogger. Scott is desperate for some relevancy

    1. Well, this is not quite being ‘stood up’ since no luncheon date was ever agreed upon, but anyone who would insult Wolf in this manner deserves no SC position

      2. Here’s the thing, the reports coming out of Cincinnati are he said she said BS. The investigation concluded that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to continue investigating. There were no charges filed. Brandon is probably busy at his new position.
        A long time ago I suffered the mistake of accepting a position as the maintenance supervisor for Compton Community College. I am whiter than a 100 watt led bulb, I was one of two white employees on campus. I was asked by an administrator to get a job done. I said, “I’ll have my guys get on it.” When I returned to my office the former custodial supervisor, who had been elevated to a new maintenance director position (without requisite experience) to keep me in line, walked in and said, “You used the term my guys when speaking to an administrator?” I answered in the affirmative. She said, “never refer to the crew as your guys or your men, it smacks of slavery and we blacks never forget.” I told her it was common to my position and responsibilities . She told me I was only hired because I was the most qualified applicant, she was placed in management so she could see to it I didn’t make probation. About a month later I was let go because I was too busy to take a cake out of a secretary’s car. I filed a reverse discrimination claim, which went nowhere for me, except the school lost accreditation, and is now part of another college.

        Jim Mora, Bill Snyder share tense handshake after UCLA’s Alamo Bowl win

        BY CHRIS FOSTER

        JAN. 2, 2015 11:03 PM PT

        REPORTING FROM SAN ANTONIO — Kansas State Coach Bill Snyder looked perplexed following UCLA’s 40-35 victory in the Alamo Bowl on Friday.
        Bruins Coach Jim Mora met him near midfield and barely shook Snyder’s hand. It was part of a tense finish that had Mora firing off a provocative comment on his Twitter site later.

        “I will defend the safety of my players forever,” Mora posted.

        Quarterback Brett Hundley, receiver Jordan Payton, defensive back Ishmael Adams and other players posted: “Thank you Coach Mora for protecting the team.”

        The Bruins were in the “victory formation” with Hundley taking a knee for three plays. On the last one, following a Kansas State timeout, a Wildcats’ player hurled himself over the line and at Hundley.

      7. At the 2:49.30 mark on the tape K State Safety #22 Dante Barnette takes the cheap shot after Bill Self needlessly called time out with 39 seconds left in the game.

        From SB Nation:

        Jim Mora, Jr., is mad at Bill Snyder over Alamo Bowl ending
        K-State’s furious comeback attempt came up just short in a 40-35 loss to UCLA in the Alamo Bowl. After the game, Jim Mora blew off Bill Snyder at the postgame handshake, allegedly cursed at him, and tweeted about protecting the safety of his players.

        Jan 3, 2015, 12:54am CST

        K-State mounted a furious second-half rally but came up short in a 40-35 loss to UCLA in the Alamo Bowl. After Jake Waters found Tyler Lockett for a 29-yard touchdown pass, UCLA recovered K-State’s impressive onside kick attempt with 1:21 remaining in the game. K-State had only one timeout remaining, so if the Bruins could complete two center-to-quarterback exchanges before falling to the ground, the Westwood outfit was assured victory.

        To my great surprise, K-State did not call its one remaining timeout after Brett Hundley kneeled on first down. Using a timeout assured UCLA would have to snap the ball three times, rather than two. The odds they’d fumble the ball at that point were low, but as a general principle, you do anything you can within the rules to extend the game and increase your chances of winning.

        K-State did call timeout after UCLA kneeled on second down. On third down, UCLA once again lined up in the victory formation, when this happened:

        It’s difficult to tell who did what in that picture, but a K-State lineman definitely submarines under the center to try and force a fumble, and it looks like Dante Barnett dives over the line. Apparently, K-State’s willingness to play until the final whistle led to this:

        Jim Mora, that’s weak to do that to Bill Snyder, especially after your team won! Geez http://t.co/RHvH2Ks6yE

        And then this:

        I will defend the safety of my players…forever.

        — Jim Mora (@UCLACoachMora) January 3, 2015
        It’s clear from the second video and the tweet that Mora considers it dangerous that K-State attempted to dive into the backfield and either force or recover a fumble when UCLA was trying to run out the clock

  3. Oh yeah, I remember that. A small kerfuffle. Sosna isn’t getting that job as AD. He’s too popular for Carol’s taste.
