OT: Cronin visiting UNLV

This has to be a leverage move by Cronin. No way he leaves a better program with a good chance at joining the B12 for UNLV. And that's not even factoring in his connection to the city of Cincinatti.
 
Sheesh, KO was nearly hung in effigy here when he didn't squash NBA rumors quickly enough or unequivocally enough for some. Can you imagine what would be happening if he jumped on a plane and actually interviewed for other jobs?

We have 3 main message boards. Two of them have threads with over 1,000 posts on the topic each and the other has over 600 posts. Also not a lot of cross over in posters between them. So yeah, it's a big deal.

Good luck however it turns out. I like Cincy and I like Cronin. UNLV, not so much.
 
I hope he stays as it's a great rivalry. Won't stop if he leaves. But we have a certain venom for him, and I know I do after the Kilpatrick/Bazz comments and the fact that it came out that JC doesn't like him. Makes for good rivalry stuff. But I agree, if he leaves, Cincy can actually do better if they make the right hire, although the converse is true.
 
Cincy isn't going to pay 3mm to Cronin as he's not worth it. If they are really serious about that kind of money, i would not be suprised to see some others jump in. That's a lot of cash. My gut says they have boosters behind that renovation that may want to look elsewhere if they are do jump in. I sense their fans are frustrated with his defense or bust approach.

Cronin runs a clean program and gets to the tourney every year. UNLV needs about 8-10 years of that to pull themselves out of their current rut, and then start shopping for somebody better.

I don't think Cronin's a great coach, but the skillset he does have would be well used in Vegas.

They want Stacey Augmon to be the coach.
 
Cincy should hire van exel (who is actually qualified) and put Kmart on the staff .

Cronin seems like an odd fit for UNLV. A school known for a lax attitude toward discipline, cheating and heavy booster influence seems more Of the Pastner/Calipari/etc. type coach than Cronin. He would have to be majorly unhappy at Cincy to leave for the same money.

Tark was known for that. No one since has been.
 
Cronin is a decent to good coach. It would be a shame if he left Cinci but he could put UNLV on the map if he can recruit there. I don't know why you would leave Cinci for that job but whatever. Cronin's teams play great defense. That takes effort and motivation and coaching. It isn't easy to find that in a coach much as I dislike the angry gnome. I dislike him because he is pretty good. Otherwise I wouldn't care.

They haven't exactly been known to be sticklers for the rules either. And boosters wield a ton of influence over that program.
