The 14th head coach of the UCLA basketball program has been named. The weight and responsibility of the most storied program in college basketball history are now placed squarely on the shoulders of Mick Cronin.
Though most fans are happy with the hire and relieved the process has ended, the trail of PR destruction from the UCLA athletic department lays in the wake of what can only be described as a “debacle” of a hiring process.
Though we here at GJB believe Cronin can be successful, the process of hiring him (or any coach) was anything but a success.
