The search for a new UNLV head coach has been very public with the latest pursuit of Cincinnati's Mick Cronin and it ultimately ended up with Cronin heading back to Ohio to remain the head coach with the Bearcats.
Cronin released a statement Friday about deciding to stay put:
"I would like people to try and understand after 10 years of dedicated service I chose to evaluate my career and my life," Cronin said. "Reflecting through that process was extremely difficult, but it was something I needed to do for me personally.
"The city of Cincinnati and the University are special places to me and I've always said what an honor it is to be the head coach at my alma mater.
