John Thompson was 31 when he got the Georgetown gig, with 6 years of HS coaching experience. I think they should be able to find a young experienced coach that connects with the kids. Kimani is in his 40's about the same age as Hurley. That's the ticket.

It's a shame they'd never go for Pitino because boy would that be fun.

Also Pitino would make G'town a top 20 team within 2 years.

Patrick Ewing's name is etched on one of the cornerstones of the Big East Conference and we should all wish him success.

It may be time for a change though and I hope Georgetown gets it right when they announce it, which I'm sure they will. Blame it on wanting to spend more time with the family and then Val Ackerman declares him a "Lifetime Ambasador" for the BE Conference.

Let’s just make sure we give them more reason today to think about replacing him.

I think there's a decent chance they get Chris Mack which would be a huge hire

I really don't like how Chris Mack operated at Louisville. Firing his assistants when he felt heat, then tape recording them to accuse them of extortion? No thanks.

Agree not sure how any big program can look at his value the same after his stint at the ‘Ville.

Tommy Amaker was unhappy not to get a look at Duke, maybe a good spot for him to flourish?

Mack is the no brainer if he’ll take it. Extracurriculars don’t matter when you’re desperate.

Maybe they need to change up their philosophy. Between John Thompson, Eshrick, Ronnie Thompson, JT III and Ewing, this is 50 consecutive years of the same coaching tree. If Ewing gets fired, who’s next? David Wingate?
What's Sleepy Floyd doing these days?

I'm guessing if Ewing is axed, they lose Lil Motumbo and other great young playas. They've seen players bolt for years. More would follow Ewing's departure.

They need to be patient

You don't hold onto a cr@ppy coach just to hold onto recruits. They'll probably bolt if Ewing stays, he's never been able to keep his players. Georgetown has to get rid of him and has to hire a proven winner. John Thompson is gone, get away from the coaching tree.

some great players are not good hc's, Chris Mullin was the same way.
