Do you think that criticisms on an internet message board will drive Mick away? Do you feel like you owe Mick something?
I feel like people crying over the New Mexico game are hysterical. I think people who think you can just throw millions of dollars and expect instant results in the tournament are idiots and the fact we're still going on after 6 months is obnoxious. We lost, GTFO it.
Take a walk, cry, do whatever you need to and then get back to your life. There's a line between criticism and hysteria. This isn't rational complaining, no one here has stated a single solitary thing Mick did to throw the game, it's all vacuous non-sense about "He's a reflection of the program, whatever happens...he's the coach" and my personal favorite "b-b-but Xavier!"
Look if you want to offer a rational, intelligible criticism, fine. Nothing I've seen here is.
Saying "The rest of the season doesn't matter!" because we blew a game is not an reasonable argument. It's pedantic, it's stupid and it's worthy of derision. He's 61-11 the last two seasons. To suggest firing someone in that scenario is insane. No coach in their right mind is going to come here if your standards are that high and if you think you can just pluck any random coach and *poof* all our woes are gone, because you threw millions at them; you need to qualify that with something.
I've seen no arguments here, just "Waaah! Mick Cronin ate my baby!!!"
As for the civility thing, the gloves have stayed on. I'm not being hateful, just honest.
