OT: Ed Cooley interviewing for Michigan job

[Storrs South]

Report: Michigan set to interview Providence’s Ed Cooley for HC job

 

[Dove]

Ed Cooley needs a hat!!

 

[Peacefrog]

Well he did coach PU to a couple of play-in games. He's a decent coach and all but this seems to be a bit of a reach for Michigan.

 

[Austin316]

Ed Cooley needs a hat!!

Lol glad we got that outa the way.

Not sure how I feel about it. He’s loaded with talent. Maybe we can snag Nate Watson

 

[TJT]

1- 5 in NCAA Tournament games.

 

[UCDaveD]

Lol

 

[UConnNick]

And BigBlueNation greets this news with a collective shoulder shrug, while exclaiming, "Ed who?!?!?!?!?"

 

[Ts5034]

Ed Cooley needs a hat!!

Im pretty sure he has a medical condition...

 

[UConnNick]

Im pretty sure he has a medical condition...

Yep...alopecia arreata. It's a loss of hair in patches, due to the immune system attacking hair follicles. It's hereditary and incurable, but non-life threatening or shortening. It's caused by stress.

 

[MDHuskFan]

If this became official, any chance whatsoever we’d be in on the Gantt kid Cooley had coming in? Depending on the site he’s a 3 or a 4.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

And Warde Manuel is STILL looking to make his first successful coaching hire for a revenue sport!

But...but...but he hired Turner Gill at SUNY-Buffalo. Gill took them to the International Bowl, where they got slaughtered by some team nobody remembers anymore.

Yes. Making fun of him for that is like calling someone with a thyroid problem fat...uncalled for. I thought we were better than that around here.

 

[Dove]

Easy Rich. It's a lack of hair issue. If this was serious there would be no jokes. He needs a hat!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I went through a bout of folicultus on my scalp a couple years ago and had an Ed Cooley look going on for a couple months. I went to a dermatologist expecting they would be able to stop the cysts but I wasn’t expecting the hair to grow back. Had to buy some outrageously expensive stuff but now I’m fine.

I’ve always wondered why he kept his hair the way it is rather than buzzing it but that’s his choice.

Pretty lame thing to tease him about. It’s not like he wants to have those patches.

 

[Deepster]

Yes. Making fun of him for that is like calling someone with a thyroid problem fat...uncalled for. I thought we were better than that around here.

Unfortunately, this has been one of Dove's unfunny schticks that he keeps regurgitating over and over. We usually just gloss right over them.

 

[Engineer90]

He checks the box for social justice. If they hire him, they get what they deserve.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

So if they get him, luwanne pipkins is a top grad transfer from umass. If he decommits, wonder if we’d have any interest. Assuming not as he’s more of an off ball guard, but I think he would absolutely help.

You’re an embarrassment to the Boneyard

Which is really saying something

Correct

I don't 'member. Anyone else, 'member?

Go pound sand

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I'm sure Michigan will throw a boat load of money at him, but he's got a good thing going at Providence. Being a local guy whose brought more success to PC than they have had in ages...could be a fish out of water in Ann Arbor, but the challenge and money would sure be tempting.

What does his comment even mean?

People keep talking like Providence was a wasteland before Cooley, but they had some good teams under Welsh and Gillen. Cooley's been better than I expected but I wouldn't say he's been a revelation. And his teams at Fairfield seriously underachieved.

 

[Guapo]

What does his comment even mean?

I’m not sure, you’d have to be fluent in Idiot in order to fully understand.

 

[UconnU]

The Michigan board is saying that they’re offering him 6 MILLION dollars. No way that’s true right? Seems absurdly high for a slightly above average coach.

 

[CL82]

.... for 12 years.

Good thing going at Providence? How so? We're talking about Michigan here. Not some podunk little mid-major tucked away in New England's armpit.

 

[UConnNick]

TWELVE years?!? That's crazy. It's the length of a media rights agreement these days. Why doesn't Manuel just marry Cooley and get it over with? My goodness.
