You know what cracks me up is the Mick haters accusing those of us who were smart enough to recognize just how good he was for the program of "settling for mediocrity" and comparing him to Marvin Lewis, but then turning around and swearing up and down that they'll "always support the program NO MATTER WHAT" (i.e. no matter how hard they just kicked themselves in the dick by letting Cronin walk, initiating a multi-year rebuild, and consigning themselves to the AAC cellar for the foreseeable future) just like... you know... a bunch of Bengals fans with Stockholm Syndrome.

If they aren't ever likely to win a national championship then why are you over here crying like a little baby to begin with? Quote:

Back to the topic though. Todd should make a decision next week. Would be a huge get at this point. Would love Davenport as well, that could really stop the bleeding.
Let's go! |

I’ve always thought transferring after a coaching change turns into some type of strange cool/hip thing to do. None of it bothers or concerns me because that’s what always happens. I don’t know why anyone would be overly concerned anyway, the point is to change and improve not just repeat and repeat.

Tl;dr: unlike you and a clueless minority of UC fans, I realized a long, long time ago that UC isn't actually an elite program and that they're likely not ever going to be--certainly not until they're in a better conference and playing all their games on national TV instead of behind the ESPN+ streaming paywall--I tempered my expectations accordingly and enjoyed winning a ton of games, winning the conference, being in the tournament * every single year* and having a CHANCE to make a run because to do that you have to actually make the tournament first. You know what sucks though? Sitting through a bunch of rebuilds because of regular coaching changes, watching your team lose a bunch of games, and having your season end when you lose in the conference tournament. Already did it once at UC just ten years ago, have had to do it twice for my other alma mater (Indiana) over that same stretch. It's especially aggravating in this case: UC did this to themselves by pushing Cronin out because of they and their fans' unrealistic expectations. If you can't wrap your head around all that, I can't help you. Last edited by UCats329; 05-11-2019 at 11:04 AM. |

At one point do we start pointing the figure at Brannen. I get he’s a new coach, at a new program, but we see coaching changes all the time without this amount of exodus among players. This is what I feared, the job and expectations were maybe a little too much right off the bat. That’s not to say he can’t adjust to them and get better but as of now he’s not exactly endearing himself to the fan base.

At the end of the day I still put his squarely on Bohn, Pinto, the BoT, and the boosters for not bending over backward to keep Cronin. A few dumb ham and eggers from Mt. Washington and Delhi can think UC is basically UK and thus Mick Cronin's "underperformance" in March should've been a fireable offense, or that UC could just switch coaches to take them to the (non-existent, for us at least) "next level", but the administration is supposedly getting paid to know better.
