That is incredible. Why leave Cinci for UNLV bb wise?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

He'll be happy in Vegas. They don't have clocks there.

 

[BugsyCT]

How is that a better gig?

 

[80shusky]

Why would he go to that cesspool? Is that considered a better job than Cincinnati?

A+ material.

Maybe the whole B12 thing is not happening

The AAC is awful, can accomplish the same from UNLV as Cincy and 50x better place to live

B12 and any CR is and will be conjecture until the decision makers make their decision. Don't think it factors into Cronin's decision.

BB wise I think it will always be a struggle at UNLV. The attractions that get recruits there might be distractions for getting them focused.

Maybe Cronin's health scare pushed him to the conclusion you're making. Maybe he's had enough criticism from fans. Maybe he sees Cinci as having bad mojo.

Probably just a play to get a raise and extension

 

[MilliniumPrince]

He wouldn't be the first to believe his pot of gold is in Vegas. Damn leprechaun.

If true, I am guesing this is leverage to make Cincy give him a raise.

He just got a raise and is paid $2.2 million making him a top 20 paid coach in the country. I'm tired of this game. He doesn't deserve a raise. Point blank.

If he leaves he leaves. I will enjoy my time in Hell regardless.

Who's the guy who coached you last year when Cronin was gone? Would he be the natural replacement?

Might be a good mutual decision for both, if he leaves, Kobe. He's a solid coach, but he's only made the Sweet 16 once. A new coach might bring a better offense and be able to keep up the D. I was disappointed with how little improvement I saw from Cincy, especially since all the key players returned.

He's a Cincinnati alum. Would be disgraceful for him to leave for a mid major job at UNLV. @kobe

Maybe he's being encouraged to look around a little bit. I certainly wouldn't be against that if I was the Cincy AD.

I would and personally think he's a great coach. He recruits a bunch of 3 star players and juco's and makes the tourney almost every year. That's the ceiling for Cincinnati in my opinion.

 

[huskiesnyc]

No problem going on record saying I think Cronin is a good coach. So what they got snake bitten a bunch this year. It happens.

Maybe he's moving to be closer to Draymond Green.

And maybe UConn has a different partner.

I don't think Xavier's ceiling is higher than Cincy's, and I doubt the Cincy fanbase does, either.

What is the longest amount of time you've spent in Vegas?

 

[Revrat]

The word out of UNLV for a while has been that they want to get back to the bigtime and are looking to shell out for a top coach. also rumored was Pitino and having him bring along his son to eventually take over.

If this were indeed Cronin's play, he couldn't have picked a worse time to make it.
