For some reason, Mick Cronin’s name has popped up in some other college basketball job conversations. The biggest question is whether or not the UCLA Bruins coach will leave for a different job.
When Chip Kelly left for Ohio State, Trojans Wire site editor Matt Zemek answered a series of questions, one of them being about Cronin.
The question: Will this football mess make Mick Cronin think about leaving for Louisville or another quality basketball coaching job later this year?
Here’s what Zemek wrote:
I think Cronin is looking at the mess at UCLA and is seriously questioning if he will get the resources and overall support he needs to keep UCLA basketball a top-tier power. Louisville will definitely give him top-level support. I’m not sure UCLA can match that.
There are plenty of questions about the state of UCLA athletics, although things could change with the move to the Big Ten Conference. Nonetheless, if UCLA misses out on the NCAA tournament, and Cronin gets a call, he could potentially dash for another job.
