OT: Cronin visiting UNLV

[Lefty2one]

Money talks, and if the rumors are true that the boosters are UNLV are willing to back up the Brinks truck to bring in a coach, I could see Cronin making the move from Cincy to UNLV. One other underrated aspect is the number of AAU tournaments that occur in Vegas each summer, which would give Cronin access to a ton of recruits.

If it were me, I'd have no interest in leaving somewhere like Cincy to go to UNLV, but if the money is right, maybe?

If the boosters are willing to open their checkbooks I'd imagine they'd want someone much sexier than Cronin. He's done an admirable job at Cincy but I wouldn't exactly be excited about the hire if I'm a UNLV booster expecting a big splash.

I fully expect Cronin to be a few seconds late to any interview he schedules.

Mick Cronin is not at his radio show as previously scheduled. Hmm....

I like Cincy and I like Mick

Great conversation with Mick Cronin today. Made it clear he is a key member of our team here at UC.

No one that covers recruiting for our 247 and scout sites think that's true. That's a BS cover up.

More like he is being recruited.

At this point it seems like a mutual parting is best and that JE3 should transfer to UConn

And it should be noted multiple sources told CBS Sports that Cronin has "been looking to move." Thus, UNLV won't necessarily have to overpay to get him, according to a source.

If Cincy's smart they'll let him walk. Cronin has been an adequate coach who's helped navigate some choppy waters, but he's not going to get them back to the mountaintop.

National media laughed at us when we fired our football coach Rick Minter and said we would never do better than him. A few years later we hired Brian Kelly and were 12-0 and a missed Texas FG away from the National Title game. Sometimes you have to take a risk. This may be one of those times.

If Cronin goes, who's on your shortlist?

My first call would be to Frank Martin but doubt he comes here. I also like Keatts at UNCW.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Can't imagine your coach leaving to make a backwards move is exactly good publicity when you're knocking on the door of the Big 12.

 

[Marty Jackson]

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.

Isn't he from Cincy where his dad was a legendary coach himself?

 

[imno1]

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.

Well that makes more sense with the hookers being legal out that way

Coincidentally, Cronin's on everyone's short list.

back to the mountaintop? They never left the lodge.
