Blatant trolling, as per usual. People want Mick gone only to complain about him. Your second best alternative is a DB coach. Smart. Funny. How about you contribute to the discussion instead of trying to incite an argument? Or is that against your trolling regulations?

Relax guy, it was a joke. I already said Archie Miller. I just find throwing Kerry Coombs' name out there funny since so many people love throwing his name out for football coach. But seriously, he'd be cheap.....maybe we can put that saved salary towards the new arena?
 
Big problem with Townsend is he's 68 years old. I'd prefer a guy with head coaching experience but an up and coming assistant with recruiting prowess would be good too. The fan base would just have to allow someone like that time to learn on the job.

He's 58. He's been at USC, Michigan, Miami, and with Self for 12 years at KU. His brother played in the NBA as well. I think he'd be just fine adjusting...especially with his recruiting prowess.

58 is much better than 68.....if it were to happen i'd be on board.
 
I'm weary of hiring a recruiting ace when a program like KU sells itself. Don't want another Mick (can recruit well when under elite coaches).

I can understand that. I know the people out here really like him and want him to take over his own program.

What do you think of Joe Dooley?
 
Wonder is Townsend has ever expressed interest in being a HC. Only ever been an assistant. Could be a situation similar to LD after last season. Unless a job that is too hard to pass comes up, might be better to stay an assistant. Who knows if he considers UC that type of job that is too hard to say not to.

I get the impression that he would want a better job than the other recent Self assts got (UAB, FGCU).

Do you really think so little of our program that you don't think an assistant coach would accept our head coaching job if offered? No wonder you love Mick so much.
 
And you still show more support than Mr. Booster. Hell, i live in the shadow of the home arena for one of the best programs in the country and I have to defend my support to a local season ticket holder in cincy. It's actually pretty pathetic

And not everyone can afford season tickets by money or time. Doesn't make them any less of a fan or any less important.
 
Who cares who holds season tickets? Is this a site for season ticket holders and those who rub elbows with Bohn and Ono are McMicken social events?

in case you missed it, per L-T: "I don't hang with casual fans. I hang with season ticket holders and boosters. These are the serious of the serious fans who are invested in this program."

LOFL, that gets better every time i read it. I'd rather watch a game with the guy who took nosebleed seats just to watch his team play.

I'm never letting this go...absolutely priceless

I wouldn't be mad to see Mick leave. I am just not ignorant enough to want him fired. If he walks, so be it. I won't be heartbroken. But, I guess you know my opinions and thoughts better than I do.
 
Can some of you give it a rest? L-T and UCBearcats have an agenda and have been outspoken at the very beginning on how they despise Mick. It really doesn't matter, they don't nor will they ever like him.

On the other end of the spectrum are a few who will support him and make excuses for him no matter what.

Then there are people, like me, supportive of Cronin, like him and want him to stay, but yet still expect much more and better things from him. I'd venture that most fall in this group. I've always said I hope Mick retires here. But that's based on the assumption that he performs during his time. I don't expect national championships every year. But ever so often they should be capable of a deep run and so far we haven't had a team that really had that ability in them. This team had the horses but obviously never put it together. He needs to do it soon.

This. Perfect. Thank you. Discussion over. Now, this thread is about Mick being a candidate. I have yet to see any reputable source say he's flying out there tomorrow.

Are you and Jason season ticket holders?

I can't afford my tickets by money or time either. That doesn't stop me from getting them.

Sounding more and more like Jamie Dixon to TCU is real, Mick Cronin to UNLV is happening, now Okie St is set to meet with Underwood.

@SamSnellingRMN Why would Cronin leave for UNLV?

@hawk2116 I dunno, the courtship is pretty close to done from what I’m told
 
I think this was mentioned on earlier pages but I'm not searching..

Doesn't Mick have a radio show with Hoard tmrw at Montgomery Inn?

Who's that guy and what credibility does he have? He could just be saying things to get Twitter attention.
