When David Braun first stepped on campus in January, he thought he was joining the staff of one of the longest-tenured head coaches in college football and had strong job stability. However, a mere six months later, Braun has been thrust into the spotlight, being named the ‘Cats’ interim head coach after Pat Fitzgerald was terminated in early July. Embattled in a hazing scandal that has sent shockwaves through collegiate athletics, Braun inherits a program that needs a complete rebuild, both on and off the field. The Wildcats are 4-20 over their last two seasons and have not won a game on American soil in 661 days.
