For a "mid major" poster that was an amusing post.

Didn't he just sign an extension two summers ago? Or is it up after the 2017 season?

Either way, he's not moving to Vegas. With his family here ( dad and his daughter) there is zero chance this happens. I think Chad ( check me if I am wrong here) said Cronin's buyout is 7mill? Seems high now that I type it, but still it will take some serious $$ to get him away. Unless Pitino mans up and leaves UofL.

"I'm the only guy who has an agent that doesn't need one. I have no interest, none. The only job I have an interest in is the Cincinnati job." - Mick Cronin

He is not going anywhere anytime soon. He is not getting the ELITE job it would take for him to leave and he is not getting fired. By the way firing him right now would be the height of stupidity. Might lose Clark, Evans, and Cumberland. If you want to fire him you wait. We are trying to get into a P-5 conference. We are trying to put together the money for a new arena. Mick has proven he can get us to the tournament. If you fire him after 6 straight NCAA tournaments with a shitty arena in a shitty league you are not gonna get anybody that is nearly as good. If we get into the new conference and have the new arena you might be able to fetch a decent replacement. Right now the devil I know is much better than the devil I dont. If we end up with a Josh Pastner you will truly see what irrelevant looks like. The frustration with Mick is understandable but lets not commit suicide.

Waite I love how you just make stuff up out of thin air. So an article with "sources" says he is a candidate and somehow that means UNLV is willing to give him a raise and a payout of $3 million just like that? And I'm still waiting on a link to those schools that offerred Mick a job since you make those statements as if they were a fact.

Mick isn't going anywhere, especially to UNLV. He's using it for leverage....again. But frankly after such a disappointing season he doesn't have much leverage.

Just read the best post on unlv's board.

He's the cincy version of dave rice without the recruiting

No way Mick would ever leave.

Yeah, it's a leverage play. Mick needs another raise like I need another season of watching him coach. Hopefully Bohn takes this latest attempt at posturing personally and fires that little twerp.

For those longing for a Mick departure. Who are you realistically expecting UC to hire that will be an upgrade over Cronin?
