Anyone want to speculate why Mick, former associate head coach at Louisville, is not even mentioned for Louisville opening?

Google “NCAA tournament success / failure”

If I had to guess I’d say because he is part of the Pitino coaching tree and Louisville wants to be 500 miles from that.

Chris Mack is great at Cinderella tourney runs and yet he is god aweful at being a protected seed.

Mid major Mack

Chris Mack out here offering anyone that has either 4 or 5 stars. Casting a wide net and hoping to catch a few. I mean it makes sense but it’s just joke watching what Cincinnati’s staff has to do to find talent and compare that to these blue bloods that’s just can show up whenever and offer

Kinda guy I’d love on uc’s Staff.
See in this is what makes me think we lack in our assistants. I think our assistant coaches are good, but maybe too similar to cronin. We need an offensive minded guy there who can help Mick on the other side of the ball. I really don't think you are gonna find a single coach who is at good at one side of the ball as mick is l, to fill in at Cincinnati. Whether it be offense or defense, I just don't see it happening. And that's why IMO Mick just needs someone on the bench to help where he lacks, instead of just constantly reassuring him.

Mack had 0 head coaching experience in D1 before X. He did pretty well against Mick.

Sigh.

I'm already mentally preparing for Xavier to continue drilling us every year.

this is why the "who are we gonna get if mick goes" argument is dumb. there are a ton of good coaches that are out there that no one has heard of. have to find them. mack before xavier, stevens before butler, even huggins before cincy.
