Big East March ‘26 Thread

[Kolumbo]

I know you are probably being sarcastic in saying PC fans and athletic department would hope to catch another Ed Cooley. The 3 names Jeff Goodman suggested were Jarrod Calhoun (Utah State), Bryan Hodgson (South Florida), or Josh Schertz (St. Louis). However, these coaches are the top of the list and Providence will have a lot of competition for these coaches and might get outbid.

Another name they should consider is Tony Skinn from George Mason as he is doing well at George Mason. However, selling another George Mason coach to the PC fanbase might be tough. Either way, the Providence athletic director, Steve Napolillo, needs to get this hire right or he will lose his job.

I looked up Josh Schertz (50). As a college head coach he only has 3 years at Indiana State and 2 at Saint Louis but he had an impact at both programs. Maybe he waits to see if the Billikens end up in the Big East (ducking) or holds out for another Big East job.

Rick Pitino has 909 college wins, 75 coming at SJU

Would Bobby ever consider being an assistant again?

We'll see how the A10 tourney plays out but Skinn might have lost some shine with how George Mason has finished the season. I like him alot too but they were 18-1 and have closed out the regular season poorly the last few weeks.

One of Hodgson or Schertz is going to revitalize the Syracuse basketball program if they can't get Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan. Or at least that's what I've read.

Let’s not forget the Bryce Hopkins drama at PC basically using their scholarship to rehab and hit the portal.
