The most regrettable effect of these "Cronin isn't half bad!" posts is that they're effectively gaslighting just how mediocre he has been throughout his coaching career.
FACT: Cronin was not our top choice to succeed Alford. He wasn't even in our top three. This is because Cronin has never been high on any respectable program's list of coaching targets.
FACT: Cronin had (by far) the best roster in the Pac in 2023, won 31 games, and proceeded to lose in the S16, like he's done time and time again in his career.
Anyway, I've never said Alford was a great coach. I just think he's getting overly criticized in the below thread, and as usual, Cronin is getting undeservedly defended.
