Letters to Sports: Mick Cronin needs to show accountability for UCLA’s woes

Related Topics: Mick Cronin, Nick Rose

As a die-hard Bruin fan and alumnus, I have grown very tired of Mick Cronin blaming everyone (players and now fans) but himself for his team’s losses. Mick, you are coaching 18- to 22-year-olds. Therefore, pretty much every loss falls squarely on your shoulders. Be a man and show some accountability. Perhaps pay heed to the words of the legendary John Wooden: “You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes.”

UCLA coach Mick Cronin’s “everybody else is to blame but me” and “one mistake and you’re pulled from the game” coaching style isn’t his biggest problem.
