February 7, 201610 yr I like Cronin and would be totally satisfied with him. But I'd like Archie Miller even more. Brad Stevens is ideal, but he probably isn't coming back to college.

Cronin is OK in my book but not great. And his teams' offenses are almost impossible to watch. Either he cannot recruit good shooters or he turns good shooters into bad shooters...
February 9, 201610 yr When the get rid of Rick I would say they will have the replacement already on board. It will be Mick or Sean or Archie!
February 9, 201610 yr At this point, I think Pitino coaches next year, the final year of his contract, and is done. U.L. does self-imposed sanctions to not participate in Post-season this year rather than next. They are hopeful the NCAA accepts and is not harsher. This accomplishes three things: 1). Attempted protection of Jurich and Ramsey's jobs; 2). Insure that Pitino has some personal punishment. He will be gone, and would have nothing but embarrassment (and we know he has teflon skin) if the punishment was for next year's post-season; 3). Allows for easier hiring of new coach and attracting recruits. IMO. NCAA is probably coming down much harder and there will be many heads fall.

If Katina continues her media tour, it only gets worse.

February 14, 201610 yr Why would anybody want Cronin, what has he accomplished? I hope they can get Sean Miller, I would think he`d be top priorty,and Archie might be good also.
February 16, 201610 yr Bennett has done a great job at UVA. Hiring him might be aspirational by the UL folks. They may have to get an Archie Miller type guy on the way up. Not sure Cronin ever leaves UC. What about the Ole Miss coach? Andy Kennedy did a good job for UC in the interim job and at Ole Miss.

Not sure Cronin ever leaves UC. What about the Ole Miss coach? Andy Kennedy did a good job for UC in the interim job and at Ole Miss. If I had to pick three guys right now, Bennett is on the list. He, like the other two on that list, aren't going anywhere right now and they're certainly not coming to Louisville: 1) Brad Stephens 2) Shaka Smart 3) Anthony Bennett It just ain't happening on those guys. So, count me among those that would like Louisville to take a nice, hard look at Xavier's Chris Mack.
February 16, 201610 yr I think you have a better chance of getting Mack than Cronin. Mack is the better recruiter. Cronin is a Cincy kid. Hard to get those west siders to leave the metro area. Of the guys that I think UL could hire, Mack may be your best option, especially if Archie is holding out for NC State. No way Sean come to UL (he's waiting on UK).

Mack is more attractive to schools than Mick and it isn't close. Now, I understand that Jurich and Mick have a relationship, so they may well take a swing at him, but I don't see it. Make no mistake, I like Mick a lot as a person, he just isn't real marketable on the floor or off to other schools. Archie wants NC State, but I think he'd certainly prefer Louisville. Too many guys have to pass up on the Ville for it to get to Arch. Sean will end up at UK or UNC, based on who retires first.
February 16, 201610 yr UofL needs to follow the UK Coaching Method of GGD Kentucky Great...Rupp Good...Hall Drunk...Sutton Great...Pitino Good...Smith Drunk...Gilespie Great...Calipari Louisville Great...Crum Good...Pitino Drunk... Need to find a Drunk for a year or two then go get the Great Coach you need
