When do we think a hire is made?

My guess is by Wednesday at the latest. Wouldn't be amazed if it is tomorrow. But if I'm betting I'd split the difference and say Tuesday.

Don't get me wrong, Mick Cronin is a decent coach but there's plenty of argument to be made that it was time to move on.

Also, you have zero clue just how good are next coach could be. They could very well end up being more successfull here than Mick. At least give them a chance.

PS Quit focusing solely on win totals. You completely ignore the strength of the OOC, and the strength of the conference over those 3 years. Don't tell me a coach that *only* wins 75 games over that same 3 years and advance further in the tournament isn't the more successful coach.
I always think that people can’t actually think that win totals mean you’re a great coach, or because a coach coaches in a certain league they can’t be good, but here we are.

Agree. Cunningham likely knew who he wanted months ago. The interviews and due diligence are probably just a formality.

And I always think that people can't really believe you should judge a coach by the results of a one-and-done tournament which contains a major luck factor, but here we are.

That’s where you are wrong. People don’t judge a single one and done tournament but they do judge 9-10 one and done tournaments. You said yourself how important it is to recruiting and the program.

Depends on what said people goals are. Mick which I loved scheduled a lot of hbcu or worse teams to pad his records. Honestly if JB did the same and didn’t come out swinging for home runs he’ll still be here. To get best of best players you must play the best in country

I’ve been saying my list since before Brannen was fired.

I want coaches that have coached at smaller schools and proven they understand modern offense.

If you hire an assistant, you go with somebody like Jerome Tang, not West Virginia’s 4th assistant because he used to play here.

If everybody turns you down and you gotta go to the 10th guy and you’re forced to hire Martin, then you probably shouldn’t be allowed to make anymore decisions as AD.
