HinnyHoosier Posted February 16 Posted February 16 3 hours ago, Certified Sunshine Pumper said: Does 22 years make it that much better? Wowza. Absolutely laughing you didn't comment on only having 1 or 2 capable title winning teams. If you're aiming for a guy that's had much more than that over his career you might be carrying borderline unrealistic expectations because there aren't many of them out there, let alone many of them who are also looking to switch jobs. Understanding, however, everyone has their own interpretation of 'capable'. Yours may be different than mine and that's alright. CSP, Home Jersey and thebigweave 3

I'd think a final four might persuade him to stay. 2nd round upset loss? Loss in the 1st game. Get him to IU ASAP to rebuild the roster. Home Jersey, lillurk and Pagoda 3

Thanks for the advice though. I posted a question in a similar vein on HSN. Basically I asked, if we hire a sitting college coach would we prefer A. A deep March run to build up his profile for future recruits, but we wait longer B. He loses early, but we get him early to start portaling. With this we potentially hear about his poor performance in March ad nauseum I 100% quoted the wrong post on this response. thebigweave 1
CrossboneIU22 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Why would Cronin even entertain leaving the Blue Blood UCLA for IU? UCLA has a rich history of athletes and donors and their NIL potential is waiting to explode, with (in my opinion) larger potential than ours. Cronin being a Midwest guy is the only reason I can think of why he would even want to leave but even that is wishful thinking. He has never to my knowledge mentioned being enamored with the IU job like Pearl or Beard. He’s not a former IU or Indiana guy like Stevens, May, or Alford. it would be very similar to Self leaving Kansas for IU. I don’t see it even remotely happening.

BA47591 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Does anyone think it won't be Dusty? 7y-50m and incentives? I think he has a signing bonus of 1.5 ish to repay if he leaves before April 1.That shouldn't hold us back. Buyout is low. He's not everyone's #1 choice but probably in everyone's top 3. Then we can start the speculation about the roster. MonteMarcaccini and thebigweave 2

Compared to IU, they don't have the donors. Also don't draw dick at home. Through 14 home games this year they averaged 6,447 fans. Cronin also hasn't been a fan of the long road trips that the West Coast teams have to do in the Big Ten. HinnyHoosier, Pagoda, lillurk and 1 other 4
HoosierInParadise Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Cronin is picking up steam from legit media outlets. Several new articles out today. Obviously doesn’t happen til UCLA’s season is over.Think his agent is putting his name out there to position him for a raise or do you think he would really have interest in the IU job?
