Could this be Patrick Ewing’s last year?

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.
 
gtown and ewwwwing?
stunk, stanks, stinks. 26-60.
period. the end.
pro tip - lose the 'tude, lose the fake chip on ur shoulder (the world is always against us!), lose ur coach.
gain some dignity.

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?

Used to love watching Wingate and Reggie Williams on the wings for Gtown.

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.

The List: Top Candidates for the Next Head Coach of the Georgetown Hoyas

Patrick Ewing is still the head coach at Georgetown. If there is a head coaching vacancy, however, here are some of the top candidates to replace him.

Neat little article detailing who could replace the legend Patrick Ewing. I (secretly) hope Georgetown could pull off another miracle run in the big east tournament like last year just so the big east could have 8 teams in the big dance.

Who would you like to see take over as head coach of Georgetown? And when do you think we can see a new coach?

At this point Geoegetown is sending the message we are not too concerned about basketball. We are Educational organization and we'd rather be loyal to our guy Patrick Ewing.

At least I hope that's what they are thinking. Because from a basketball standpoint his teams are trash. They really don't try hard either. With more than 10 minutes left they have clearly quit in at least 2 of the last 4 games against us.

I do not think Cooley leaves for Georgetown if they pursued him (let alone have the stones to fire Ewing), but consider the fact that when Georgetown is good they typically average a higher fan attendance than what PC's arena can hold. The last time Georgetown was good, they averaged over 13k at Capital One (and the building has a working roof).

Also the greater prestige, program history, and an endowment 8x the size assuming Georgetown is ready to really open up the checkbook here. I think facilities are on par as well.

I will also add Cooley's most critical cogs for his team of luck this season is gone after this year (losing Watson, Durham) so unless he absolutely crushes the portal since they only have 3 three stars coming in, next year could be rough for them and so it is a good time to leave town if he so chose.

Whether he pulls a Chris Mack has yet to be seen but I remain skeptical, more about Georgetown's ability to pull this off given they seem beholden to the JTII legacy more than anything.

I have to think that most coaches will have seen what happened to Chris Beard and not change jobs within conference away from a currently rabid fanbase unless it is their absolute dream job.

I don't see what is so bad about the Chris Beard situation unless I am missing something. Went to the larger school, with the bigger fanbase and did it for a small / negligible uptick in salary. So one game a year he goes into a hostile environment directed specifically at him.

I have seen historically Texas is pretty bad support wise for basketball in terms of fan attendance, but I am sure Tech is probably the same way when they aren't as good as the last couple years. It also hurt that Adams kept the ship upright at least initially in his wake. Time will tell if he can do that long term.

They also came into his home stadium and made him have an away game at home. Lots of embarrassment there. Generally just made him look like a jerk to everyone. A lot of aired dirty laundry. A lot of shine came off his rose.

When you can take an equally good job elsewhere, doesn't seem worth it. Couple of other decent openings this cycle (Louisville or Maryland).
