From all accounts and reports, Cincinnati's Mick Cronin is the lead candidate to replace Dave Rice as the new UNLV head coach. The Rebels are upping their commitment and could pay at the very least $2 million per year for the next guy.
Cronin arrived in Las Vegas Tuesday night and is meeting with officials from the schools and officially interviewing for the job. He is also the only known candidate to be interviewing for the job, the other three were all internal candidates.
There is also some talk that Cronin is using his interest in UNLV to get a better deal from his alma mater Cincinnati.
