Cronin Poll - BeerCat - 03-21-2016 08:16 PM
Now that we know he's interviewing I wonder if that has swayed some people's feelings.
RE: Cronin Poll - Billy_Bearcat - 03-21-2016 08:19 PM
You should have added "Could Care Less"
RE: Cronin Poll - CliftonAve - 03-21-2016 08:22 PM
If you put this thread on BCJ the results would be stay by a large margin. On this board I am guessing you would have more saying Go.
This fan base is fractured in the issue

I purposely did not do that. No fence sitting here Billy!

Stay, if he goes, I'll have Tuberville football and a decapitated basketball program to look forward to.

You don't think we can get another basketball coach in here?
RE: Cronin Poll - Billy_Bearcat - 03-21-2016 08:45 PM
I voted "stay", but we'll be fine if he goes. X seems to do fine every 4-5 years they make a change. I think we can do the same.
RE: Cronin Poll - BearcatJerry - 03-21-2016 08:46 PM
Before today's developments, I was indifferent. But after today's developments? GTFO.
RE: Cronin Poll - bearcatfan - 03-21-2016 08:47 PM
If, as he has said, he really wants to be here he would not be doing this. So I vote go.
RE: Cronin Poll - Coopdaddy67 - 03-21-2016 08:48 PM
I voted "stay", but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if he leaves. I think there are a number of guys who could do what he's done and perhaps even move the program to a higher level.
It's not like the Brian Kelly situation where I thought they were losing one of the best things that ever happened to Cincinnati athletics and had to worry about who would take over the program.
RE: Cronin Poll - UCGrad1992 - 03-21-2016 08:49 PM
I'm tired of this crap when private matters become a public dog and pony show. I know it happens in the college landscape now more than ever but this gets old fast. If Mick really wants to be here then why put everyone through this? If he doesn't take the UNLV job his presence here moving forward will be a constant question mark, distraction and drain on the program. I'm ready to move on.

Cronin Poll - BearcatnKY - 03-21-2016 08:50 PM
He will scoff at the "rumors" and say he was/is here to stay when UNLV doesn't offer what he is expecting.

That won't fly after he missed the show tonight and didn't shoot down the rumors the second they came out.

If it was that simple, I'd say getting the right coach is basically a coin flip and I wouldn't be as certain of the result of Mick's leaving.
No. I think you'll be dealing with defections/transfers, decommits, trying to put together a whole staff and recruit with a poultry few prospects this summer, and an absolutely GOD AWFUL basketball season, if not two, there following. If you get a flop of a coach ontop of that, you might as well not have basketball at all for the next half decade. With that, the fans will find something else to spend their money on and you'll have sent the program down the toilet.
The idea that this would be a good thing, is some of the most pie in the sky BS I've ever heard. This is an absolutely crap time for a coaching change, unless you're going to promote from within, I am absolutely against it. You're not one coach away from a deep run, if this coach leaves town, you're going to be even further away. REGARDLESS of who the next coach is, the next couple of seasons will be garbage. Recruiting connections can take years and the pipelines you've created are history. More over, the players who are already here committed to this staff. With them gone, there's no incentive to stay. Sure, you might keep some of the upper-classmen, but you better hope to whatever deity you believe in, that the rest really like Cincinnati and aren't thinking about other cities/campuses.

Sometimes you interview to see what's out there. I know this is a little different scenario than the real world but interviewing happens all the time in the business world. You do yourself a disservice if you don't at least listen. It may just be to get the administration's attention.

I just don't get it. We are not South Florida. Why can't people recognize that we do have a pretty deep tradition, at a large school, with a pretty strong fan base. I'm not saying that a flop can't happen, but I am willing to roll the dice and see what happens. We all know Cronin will never get us to be top 10-15 program which we rightfully should be.

Didn't happen that way when Huggins was hired. The improvement was immediate. Nothing magical about Huggins, just when you have the right guy, it happens fast, unless your program is devastated.
