Recently rumors have been swirling that Cincinnati head basketball coach Mick Cronin will be leaving for the UNLV job. Not too say that this move can't happen, but I, in no possible way believe this will happen and here is why. (Keep in mind I could 100% Dead WRONG)
Cronin is connected to Cincinnati in too many ways. Cronin grew up here and attended LaSalle High School. Also Cronin is a Cincinnati alum and here is what his brother Dan, tweeted on Monday.
Keeneland Dan @fatbaldguyracin
"The lure of your Alma Mater is big hell if Bethel College Tenn calls I would drop everything and take the job in 3 seconds pack in 10 min"
Next, Cronin's daughter is her in Cincinnati in which he has custody rights to. Also I'm not sure if you really want to raise a child in Las Vegas because his daughter would be flying back to see her Mom... A LOT.
Cronin may be doing this to ensure a renovation to 5/3rd arena and just saying that he has other options. Also, the Bearcats are on the verge of getting into the Big 12 conference and if that happens in the next couple of years (hopefully months) then Mick would have left for a Mountain West school...
Lastly, is this even a big step up. UC and UNLV fans were arguing if this was a step up on twitter last night. If you have to argue about it then is it really that big of a step? By the way Cronin would be taking a pay cut. From what I read in the Cincinnati Enquire a source told them that UNLV could go up to the 2 million mark if the had to. Mick makes 2.2 at Cincinnati right now.
I get it, Cronin and some fans do not get along and there are some situations where it is a good move for Cronin and UC to move on, but not right now. I firmly think Cronin will be back coaching in the Queen City next year.
Your statement of "Also I'm not sure if you really want to raise a child in Las Vegas?" is absolutely IGNORANT. Have you ever been to Las Vegas off the strip? Your logic is like thinking that all of New York City is like Times Square. Or all of Los Angeles is like Hollywood Blvd. Thats stupid! I can assure you that the city of Las Vegas is like any other city out there. In fact, I would MUCH rather raise my child in Las Vegas than a dump like Cincinnati. Google neighbourhoods like Summerlin or Henderson and you'll see how stupid your comments about Las Vegas are. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteOH, and by the way.. UNLV is willing to pay $3million+ for Cronin. Please get your facts straight.
