Weird...I often hear him say self-deprecating kinds of statements - he just honestly tell it like it is. I guess one's mental filters determine what is heard.

We are happy for the Bearcats and Coach Cronin, but wish he would stop telling us how good he is.

His style is different, but I don't take him as arrogant. He speaks his mind instead of giving Marvin Lewis coachspeak. I don't mind it.

If it bothers you - I wouldn't listen.

In the past he has made excuses, whether it was about the shootout not being a big game, or the uconn shot. like I've said, I'm a mick guy but this stuff is annoying at times. I think he has done better this year. Everytime they've lost, he has said they didn't play well. No excuses. Except bulter

The thing about Mick that annoys me is that he complains about the lack of respect UC is getting. But then follows that up with complaining about seeds, Uconn's shot when it was clearly off on time, not playing another big east team because the refs don't call fouls and making excuses for losses. If he wants UC to get more respect, he needs to win the big games and stop making petty excuses for the losses. He's done a great job this year and we can start earning respect with an AAC tourney championship and a run in the tourney.

He literally has said this multiple times this year. He understands it and acknowledges it. Not his fault you havent been paying attention. God forbid our coach sounds like he knows what he is talking about. The arrogance!

I've enjoyed getting Coach Cronin's perspective on things all year. I feel like he's had a very consistent message in his press conferences and radio shows.

He has been better this year. I do think he knows he has a pretty good team and its time to win. He didn't even complain about the shootout this year.

When they have lost, he has said he needs to coach better. He also often says that coaching is overrated. That the players make the plays. I definitely don't like it when he whines. Or the other day he said that he remembered all the plays from the shoe. And then mentioned how he had to build this program Brick by Brick and poured the cement. Or something. I guess for newer fans it's important for him to remind us. But I would rather if he didn't even mention it.
