Cronin is gone if he gets the offer.

Some of you may be getting your wish if Cronin is offered the UCLA job.

I'm not sure if anyone else has said this already but my guess is Cronin to UCLA and Savino becomes UC's Head Coach.

Please no Pitino. Or Matta as I have heard suggested. Our program can't handle Pitino and Matta already screwed X. We don't need that here.

I never heard anywhere that Mick has actually interviewed with UCLA. I have only heard his name in speculation. Did he interview at some point, and I missed it, and if not, how can he be viewed at the heir apparent?

We need Pitino. He needs us. It’s a win-win that will bring a lot of wins. Bruce Pearl is coaching in the final four for gods sake. Calipari has a lifetime contract with Kentucky. Both are serial cheaters.

Cronin has been hired as a head coach for two D1 schools. He's been head of a successful program for more than a decade. It's not like UCLA need to determine if he's qualified. But representatives apparently did speak with Cronin at the tournament. I doubt you would call it an interview, but more like a "we may be interested and we should talk."

Any of the details regarding each sides' expectations, needs, and commitments can all be handled through different channels. Cronin pays an agent to deal with all of that.

Cronin has been to UCLA for games more than once. I'm sure he understands what facilities they have. My guess is he'd be more interested in what are the chances the talented players on the current team stay long enough for him put together some wins and get his recruiting up to speed out there.

Honestly, mick Cronin to UCLA seems like a disaster in the making.

He seems much more like a Va Tech hire.

And if he is at his alma mater and looming to leave I hope he does sooner than later. I really hope UC wouldn’t lose Curtis due to this mess...but it’s better to occur now with only 1 recruit than next season.

Or sign an extension and get working on that 2020 class ASAP.
