He was the ninth head football coach for the Ottawa University Braves located in Ottawa, Kansas and he held that position for three seasons, from 1920 until 1922. His career coaching record at Ottawa was 3 wins, 19 losses, and 1 ties. This ranks him 23rd at Ottawa in total wins and 28th at Ottawa in winning percentage (.130). ^[1] Brannan graduated from the Ottawa academy in 1911. He later graduated from Ottawa University in 1915, having earned fourteen letters in all university sports.^[2] Prior to coaching at Ottawa, he has coached at Sioux Falls University, James Millikin University and at high schools near Decatur, Illinois.^[2] After coaching he worked for what later became Union Carbide, Co. until he retired in 1956.^[3]

According to football legend Walter Camp, the only bright spot for the team in the 1922 season was a guard named Swineheart who "played consistently" for the season.^[4] He died at a hospital at New York City in 1958.^[3]
