Mick Cronin to UCLA

[RoyKent]

Has to be nice knowing you were like the 48th choice

 

[legalbeagle123]

UCLA = Sucks
Mick Cronin = Sucks

Match made in hell.

Damn, I was 49th on their list..

Damn, I was 49th on their list..

 

[Kats23]

If he makes it 3 seasons I’ll be shocked. I can’t see his personality meshing with the boosters of UCLA

 

[CatsPaws270]

Congrats to former Murray Racer coach Mick Cronin!

Does Cincy go back to Andy Kennedy?

 

[GLR5555]

Has to be odd to hear they offered RB $5M last night. Wonder if he even gets half?

 

[irishcat1965]

That has to be a little embarrassing knowing where you were on their want list.

 

[TFCat11]

I guess this means Adios to UCLA basketball...Oh wait...

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Gosh they finally get there coach after they got enough coaches pay raises... [roll]Considering he could never win in round one of the tournament Calipari will have plenty of years to catch them!!!!!

 

[sosoblue]

He is one of those guys that you want drop kick right in his face and then body slam him with an elbow in the back of his neck.

 

[STL_Cat]

Lol @ UCLA

 

[ukfan2410]

Wonder if Cincy could make a run at Kenny Payne

 

[Tannerdad]

Good. Maybe UC will hire someone who isn’t a prick.

 

[awf]

I know I haven't spoken up but......I secretly had talks with UCLA......I wasn't going to move out there but.......I used it as a bargaining chip to get a Bluetooth trolling motor for my bass boat........I need to watch my back.....

11 NCS...still chasing them. Suppose to have caught them my now:basketball::basketball::boxing::cool2:[cheers]:chairshot::raised_hands::thumbsdown::smiley::sunglasses::scream:

 

[rick64]

Can’t wait to hear the UCLA Admin trying to spin this. We got the coach we wanted. :joy:

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Maybe Barbee or Justus?

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

Hmm...crazy that it took so many choices to find a coach. Cronin will get some mileage there. He may get them in the top 25 consistently. He was decent at Cincinnati. Like someone else eluded to, I don’t see it as a long term relationship.

 

[Ugoff]

Damn, I was 49th on their list..

Looks like you dodged a bullet.

One of those hires that does not strike fear into any team in the country. I remember that ucla troll who was running his mouth off here, when Cals name was brought up, and all the smack he talked. Wonder how he’s feeling about having Cronin as the next head coach [laughing]

Does Cincy go back to Andy Kennedy?

That would be interesting.

Now he's got a gnome coach who also hates UK.

 

[CatsPaws270]

That would be interesting.

This late in the game....that may be their only option.

Kennedy is a good hire that you can sell and he has ties to Cincy (unless he burned bridges on the way out?).

If not...they may not be able to get a decent guy this late in the game.

Well if Pitino would have done his part in 93, 95 and 97, we already would have. :joy:

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Kenny Payne could be a possibility, he is over due a HC opportunity !

I think there's a good chance Brannen from NKU will be UC's next coach!

 

[GonzoCat90]

So he's Ben Howland without all the winning? Lot of progress they've made as a program in the past decade.

 

[Mike-D]

That’s great. Cincinnati won more games than the entire PAC-12 this year. Ya know?

 

[dcspurlock]

ESPN said 6 years/$24mil so he’s not getting the same offer as RB but it’s definitely overpaying IMO. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

 

[wildcat1515]

Won't have to worry about UCLA for awhile. Won't be hearing much from them.

 

[katwest]

He has to know he has a short rope, maybe he thinks it will look good on his resume even if it doesn't last but two years.

 

[coolioo1]

His personality, style of play, you name it is about the complete opposite that UCLA should have. Either a big time personality like a Pearl, Calipari, Pitino (UK days), or a slick, stylish, guy like Jay Wright. Or at least someone that plays a flashy style of basketball. The Wofford coach would have been better, since the NBA is all about three pointers and that could resonate with all those Pro sports fans out there.

 

[numberonedad]

6 years 24 million . I read that on Twitter. So TIFWIT

[roll][roll][roll][roll][roll][roll][roll]

Alright, we should have plenty of time to reach #12 now.

 

[65pacecar]

Better off with Alford.

 

[Blueblood410]

Is there a nice midget community in LA for him to fit in?

 

[TFCat11]

Yeah, but times have changed. Until organized betting is removed from college sports (basketball in general), it may be a while.

 

[homeytheclown]

I bet bearcat fans are happy
