It's refreshing to see others asking this question, mainly because this coach's track record at UCLA is NOT good enough to warrant unconditional support and praise. He's also trending downwards, if we're being honest, in every metric that matters.
It feels like deja vu with some saying "this is the year that will make or break him," but maybe some of you mean it this time.
He's been too small (literally and figuratively) for this job since day one, and while I'd be happy to be proven wrong and see the team live up to expectations this year, there's nothing in Cronin's track record as a HC to warrant this kind of optimism. Not here, not at Cincy, not earlier on.
He's a bum. He doesn't inspire his players. He whines after every setback. And he has left a fetid blemish on this program that the next coach will be stuck cleaning up.
