Hopefully fickell can overachieve this year.
Yeah, this is where Mike Bohn earns or doesn’t earn his contract as well. Coaches don’t change unless someone higher up than them applies pressure.

Fickell going to need an extra year, but you could get Alabama's recruits and there is just something about Cincinnati sports. Were not big time winners, everyone says to make a run you need luck and players, well we had the players, but the luck we will never have.

Haven't read the comments but I really hope Cronin goes to Louisville cuz God knows we won't fire him. He has underachieved every single year. He was interviewed a few days ago and said he doesn't try as hard as he did when he was rebuilding the program, that enough should get hiim canned. His style of basketball does not win in this tournament and that is more true than ever.

Yes lets fire Mick. We might as well drive a stake through the heart of the program. Lets fire a guy who has won 30 games two straight years, been to the dance 8 years running, is the reigning conference and league champion. What do we got to lose?

But cant we require he evolve as a coach? I don't want him fired for the same reasons as you. (the grass is not always greener) but he has to become better and show humility and admit to himself he needs to morph some of his coaching philosophy, otherwise you lose the fan base, and once that's done, youre toast.

Coach k isn't the same coach he was 20 years ago.
Roy Williams isn't the same coach he was 10 years ago.
If your formula is toughness and defense, and it hasn't consistently won you big games, needs to be tweaked.

I would say the title of the thread is dumb. But talking about how Mick needs to change isn't dumb.

Can you close it down? This is just fuel for people to come out and b*tch. Im tired of the "Fire Mick" crowd.

The loss sucked...still does...still stings and all those awful feelings.

Team went 31-5. Won the conference and tourney title. The silver lining is that we had a pretty damn good season and are 61-11 the last two years. Not all is lost.

Lot more went into this loss then coach was inflexible. I have know idea what Mick was instructing his players to do in the huddles. I have know problem with shortening the game with 10 minutes and a 22 point lead. My issue was and is we settled for jump shots. We had them on the ropes and we stopped attacking the basket. Evans was getting to the rim at will and so was Washington. We had a 6 deep roster in foul trouble and started throwing up jump shots. If we ran the clock down and attacked the hoop we would have won this game going away. We didn't need to change the tempo we just needed to be smarter with the shots we took. They were on the ropes and we settled for jump shots. They didn't have to guard us.
