      I'd say he'll most definitely be back, but given that UC is likely looking at one miserable season this year, he'll be on the hot seat. No way, however, do I see UC firing him mid-season (next year). Mick seems like a great guy, but his team is a huge disappointment so far.

      The secret to basketball – and life – is "just to do the job to the best of your ability and don't worry about anything else."

      Yes.....but will be on the hot seat. Hopefully Cronin can change things around for the Bearcats.

      Yes and he will not be on the hot seat. Like it or not that's the deal...

      Cronin will for sure be there next year.

      Next year SHOULD be their year for something big.

      He's going to get the time needed to rebuild. Firing him isn't going to happen any time soon...

      I still contend that the best thing to happen to Mick is BK.

      I thought you meant it was in his contract. Which I guess really wouldn't mean anything. BTW I think he should get all kinds of time.

      Honest question, when will he have had enough time?

      He will get until this group of sophomores are finished with their senior season. If it's not turned around by then, he will be on the hot seat...

      I haven't followed Cincinnati very closely, but the situation Cronin inherited was pretty dire ... a smattering of scholarship players returning, very little experience, a fractured fan base and a big-time rebuilding situation in a meat-grinder conference, the best in the nation.

      He deserves more than three years to dig his way out of an enormous hole.

      What would you consider turned around? Top 20 and winning the conference every year ain't gonna happen in the Big East. Unfortunately the program will be held to that standard which Hugs set while competing in CUSA. Not fair though.

      I knew it was three at the most, but wasn't sure of the exact number.

      Strongly in the hunt for a tournament bid every year. Expecting what was there in CUSA to return is silly...

      Upper half of the Big East is a fair standard of expectations ...
