Message: [QUOTE="kobe, post: 2613731, member: 3624"] To be fair it was a much different rebuild. Cincinnati was just 1 season into the Big East, arguably as the league was hitting its peak, and Cronin was left with 1 scholarship player, an NAIA transfer, a football player (Conor Barwin who is now in the NFL) and a walk-on. He was going to have to get some time to fix it up. I can tell you after that 19-16 season, the fanbase was probably close to 50/50 that he should go. Then just two years later, Cincinnati sat at 15-7 (5-4) with losses to Presbyterian, Marshall, Rutgers and St. Johns and the talk REALLY heated up. I was firmly in the "he's gotta go" camp. But then somehow they rallied and finished that season 11-4, made the BE finals and the S16. Rebuilds are a roller coaster of emotions. I don't recommend them. [/QUOTE]
