Mick a Candidate for UNLV?

[jacobkdoyle]

Don't you people work? I can't keep up with this thread

Yes. I work on a computer all day. I've gotten in a bad habit of keeping a BCT tab open.

Clark can get better in the paint. Not an outside guy.

Not saying he should be an "outside" guy. Saying he should post up less so he can get the ball more.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

Nothing is ever on Cronin, is it? It is IMPOSSIBLE to be ranked, to get better than 5th in the AAC, to win a single postseason game, etc. IMPOSSIBLE.

Then why don't they fire him. You want to blame him for some coaching issue fine or the teams performance great but listening to another teams pitch to see if he would like to coach their school because he is dissatisfied with some aspect of his employment is not a problem.

This is going to be a 2 cups of coffee kind of day.

Doesn't mean you have to welcome him back with open arms. Waterhead is planning a parade for goodness sake .

this stuff is just as bad.

to answer the question you've asked 10 times already: they would never fire him and owe him compensation when he has other offers and they could get a buyout when he leaves.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Why can't you get the ball posting up? Clark should be able to be leathel point blank.

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Legend for the win... told you people Mick was staying.

Madman I am not sure what you are trying to do here. Some of us are at work and have nothing better to do then leaf through 180 pages of non sense to get to the two or three posts that say anything. By holding people to higher standards you are infringing on the right to free speech and my right to laugh at the multiple idiotic arguments that have occurred since this non new story started. Please do not screw up my way to waste my day.

You'd have to ask Coach Cronin why we can't feed the post. Plus, Clark is a way better all-around player than that...he shot very well from 3 this year. He's only going to be so good if he is a straight big man. Why put a ceiling on a talent like Clark? He handles the ball and passes well too. He is much more dynamic than what you're asking for. And that doesn't mean I don't think he should ever get post touches, bc yes, he has very good touch around the rim.

Cronin is very polarizing. This doesn't help that. And I'll say it right now, I'm going to be very annoyed when people desperately welcome him back like he's a hero. This whole thing has gotten out of hand and he couldn've put a stop to it at any time.

Soooo if his motives were literally for his players and for the future recruits of his program and he ends up getting those demands met, You going to be annoyed by people welcoming him back??

This could end up being Cronin's biggest gift to the program even if he leaves 2 years from now because he set up UC for success with a new coach who actually might come here because of the upgrades.

Im almost betting he told his players to ignore the rumors, that he is going to go out and fight for the program and see what he could get done

If this is true, then he's going to be at UC for life bc no school will entertain the idea of negotiating with him. UNLV has been in limbo for 2 months and now Cronin is just stringing them along? Hard to fathom.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

All those upgrades will happen with or without Mick.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

@GoodmanESPN
Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin flying back home from Las Vegas, but those in the UNLV camp still very confident he’s heading back to Vegas.

^This is a real acct.

 

[justinhub2003]

Then whats the god damn hold up? I hear Mick already raised the funds for the locker room.

I don't believe this has anything to do with Money And everything to do with getting his 6 straight NCAA tourney program to have the same facilties as Xavier or frickin NKU even. What coach wants to come to Cincinnati when you run your Home town coach out of town because he can't just get his facilities up to par with even the local teams

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

does a good job. I'm satisfied with his job performance. Now if we invest more time and money into getting us closer to a national title and he doesn't deliver I may have no problem seeking a change.

Jake you have to be blind to not see what is happening on this and other sites. People have screwed with this guy from day 1. Take any situation and find a way to sound like he is a buffoon. For some he will never be accepted and this is their forum to vent that opinion. Their is another side who look to defend his every movement. They to can be a problem.
Doesn't mean you have to welcome him back with open arms. Waterhead is planning a parade for goodness sake .[/quote]If his actions make our program better he deserves credit. I'm not pro Mick or anti Mick. I think he
If I didn't enjoy watching the team I would be screaming for a change. I do. It is a event at my house we either go to the game or watch it somewhere. I'd love for them to be a blueblood program. My business background tells me in todays game that will be very difficult to do. Not just for the Cats but my other sports passion the reds. Money rules the day. The game has changed. Mick does as good a job under the conditions he operates as anyone. His employers must feel that way as well. you tying to find fault with him because he interviewed elsewhere is comical. I hope Mick gets the upgrades he is after one because I hate watching games at 5th 3rd unless I'm in the lower bowl. sitting on the benches so far from the action is the pits. Im usually dieting so it makes little difference to me about the concessions or bathrooms.

Jesus h christ, you mick homers are out in full force today. Yea mick is being ran out of town. You guys are so blind and loyal till the end.

fair enough. But if he does not take their offer and remains our coach what would stop them. If his conduct or performance are so bad why wouldn't they fire him? why do they want him back. Shouldn't Ono be trying to get him to leave instead of tweeting he should stay???
