He served as the head coach at the University of Nebraska in 1899 and at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 1900, compiling a career college football record of 1–11–1.

In 1899, Branch led the Nebraska to an exhibition win against Lincoln High School and one victory over Drake. Nebraska had their first losing season under Branch and after the season, he was replaced by Walter C. Booth. Branch's winning percentage of .167 is the lowest of any head coach in the history of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program.{{cite news | title=Nebraska Football History | url =http://www.nationalchamps.net/NCAA/database/nebraska_database.htm | work =The Sports Network | access-date = December 1, 2007}}
