You guys all crack me up. Same thing as when a recruit doesn't pick us. He left for more money, that's it and if this administration did indeed offer a pay cut during the extension process I don't blame him for leaving. Let's move on and make a good hire.
I hope I don't hear you all talking about the good old days under Mick like many of you have waxed on about Huggs for years. The next coach better get us in the tournament every year and win some games in the tournament or all hell will break loose. |

I was a Cronin fan but my rooting for Cronin or any coach stops when they are no longer the coach at UC. Cronin’s departure was probably the most ideal way to lose a coach...if it is going to happen. Our program has a real opportunity here to make a hire that can take our program to the next level. I am excited to see what happens.
This is such a better situation then firing a coach and going through a painful rebuild. |

I wasn’t always the biggest Mick fan. His inability to alter offensive strategy and what I thought was below standard recruiting (he seemed to get 1 player a year when we needed 2) frustrated me. But he got the program back on its feet, coached players up to POY honors, went to the NCAA tourney consistently. Lots to like. He had his best 2 teams and failed in March. That trend was bad. Seemed like he plateaued. We will see if it was the Bearcat program that plateaued or if it was mick soon. I think the fan base will rally behind the new coach. I think we will have a great team to get behind next year. I would love for them to make the sweet 16 and set us up moving forward. The kids on next years team have a lot of pressure on them for this program, but they seem built to handle it. |

I’ll be rooting for UCLa and UC.
I want Mick to succeed. I want UC to succeed. But I’m not too hot on these candidates. |

Imagine if Xavier fans cried and acted like some of our fans are, every time a coach left. It’s frustrated, but Cronin isn’t the only coach in America that would be successful here.

We never went with a retread, I wouldn't have been happy if X had gone retread with it's hire last year. There were those that wanted Miller back, I am not joking. Brannon and McMahon would both be great hires and coaches who are on the rise. You can't look at a coach as a short term fix, they are a long term solution. Look at Butler and X, short term setbacks could and hopefully should be long term success. |
