So the earliest we hear anything will be tomorrow.

Torture goes on

Maybe this is a good sign and he just wants to talk to his players first.
Knowing we haven't just been sitting on our thumbs waiting makes me feel a little better. At least we know there isn't going to be an answer.

Tark or Pitino he's certainly not, but at this point it looks like he's the best we can hope for.
Why care about the price? Are you paying?
The longer the search goes on, the fewer legit candidates there will be. And fewer, and fewer...
I want the search over asap before we find ourselves settling for the rotting table scraps.
I care about the price....do you think that it is just free money that isn't made back someway? Higher price seats, season tickets..... the money just doesn't come for free.
I'm of the opinion someone big and bold or keep Augman.
The fact that we are willing to pay $3MM should possibly open the door for others that never thought we would consider paying that much.

There's that word "we" again. Thank you for your million dollars donation runnin j lmao...People really want augmon as head coach. Wow
I understand what you are saying here but...
To get close to the 3 million we need a coach affiliated with UA. If not we can only get to around the 2 million mark.
Cronin already makes 1.8 and I believe with incentives is closer to 2.2. The guy wouldn't leave his current job to come here for the same money.
So if you think Cronin is worth around 2 million a year this deal makes total sense. UNLV/Boosters just poached a coach from his alma mater paying him the same salary. The 1 million from UA is not our concern. In our eyes it doesn't exsist.
The further down the list of candidates we get, I would imagine booster support starts to dry up.
We end up with a guy like Menzies for 750k. 4 years from now we will either be talking about it being a great hire or people will be bitching 'you get what you pay for' or 'if UNLV ands its booster put their money where their mouth was this wouldn't happen'
With Cronin the narrative changes. If it doesn't work the complaints will be how come we paid this guy so much! Then the revisionist history starts. 'We could have had Pitino' or 'Jay Wright wanted to come here but TKM screwed it up'
At least UNLV is making an effort. Whether it ends up being the right hire nobody can say for a couple seasons. One thing nobody can say is that the administration isn't doing everything within their means to bring us a coach they feel can fix this thing.
Total guess but I think Cronin will becone the next head coach at UNLV and it will be announced tomorrow morning.
I don't understand the fixation with the salary. If the powers that be have decided that Cronin is our best option, then they are making a strong play.
Unfortunately, the naysayer will turn out whether he accepts the offer or not. If Cincy sweetens the pot, and he stays, then the chorus will sing "Mick played us like a Stradivarius just to get more money, he never wanted to come to UNLV." On the other hand, if he comes to UNLV, the chorus will sing, "see, he just a mediocre coach and Cincy is glad to be rid of him."
At this point, I am happy to give a Mick a chance to right this ship.

Great post.
So the UA contribution is based only if we are able to get an UA coach? I guess I didn't know coaches wouldn't be available to come to a school based upon whether the school was a nike/Adidas/UA school. I thought the UA contribution was so that UNLV became a UA school and not a Nike school...
I guess Cronin hire isn't a sexy/desirable one in my eyes and it would alienate the legends from our past that Lon was able to bring back.
To me, there isn't enough positives about his potential hire. Only a question mark on his ability and knowing we turn our backs on our legends again.
It appears like it might be. I think that is why Frank Martin's name popped up the other day, I think he is also a UA guy.
thats what im afraid of...oh well, i will save $6k and give up seats in row a after 40 years
Him and Randy Bennett are the only names left I would have any excitement over.
