I believe college coaches more than politicians and lawyers. So if you tell us not to believe college coaches does that mean we should believe college coaches? This is a rhetorical question for the Boneyard non lawyer members.

I have spoken! This is the way!

Good for you. Do I need to quote Connecticut’s own P.T. Barnum to you?

Under JT3 they were pretty consistently a top team that brought in great talent. He had some BATTLES with Calhoun over the years. I still remember that game winning three ROY HIBBERT hit that one year.

They’re an original Big East power with all the money and recruiting footprint possible to get them back to that. Big upgrade from Providence who are pretty much at their ceiling now.

Yes, they had 8 tourney appearances including a FF under him. Between him and his dad they are a blue blood.
 
Talked to a be donor to Georgetown as he graduated from law school and said this was a done deal a couple of days ago just waiting for PC to get booted from the NCAA tournament

Why would anyone leave this situation for a short contract?

I mean like 3 years. I’d hate to lose him. Who gives a rookie a long term contract? Iona is a good first HC job for him and in his home area. I’m sure Dan Hurley & RP will direct some recruits that don’t fit our level his way.

I really don’t care about Cooley… Pitino is the one that moves the needle for the big east…especially at St Johns.. that would be great for the big east.. I just hope Georgetown gets someone who can win.. which is also great for the big east… Cooley is alright… but nothing great

Eventually PC will be paying Cooley a top 5 coaches salary and have zero results to show for it. This is their ceiling. Why pay a guy $6M/yr to lose 7 of your final 9 games when you could pay a solid mid major guy $2M/yr to do the same thing?
Expand ...
You’re right. It’s kind of ridiculous for PC to pay their coach $6mm when they know damn well they will never be an elite program.

Nothing is ever a done deal till it’s actually done. Few years ago an acquaintance of mine (baseball agent) told me his player that he represented was singing with X team and the deal was done. 12 hours later it was on ESPN the player actually signed with a different team. Asked my acquaintance what happened was told things change every minute and he thought everything was done. Player had a change of heart at the last moment and signed with the other team

Bottom line nothing is done til is actually done,signed, and announced

Georgetown can find and retain a really good coach that's not Ed Cooley. I'm not convinced that Providence can.

Nate Watson's dad sounds like a guy who works at a car wash or uses a urinal next to @Chief00

I just was reminded that Cooley has been to one Sweet Sixteen in seven tournament appearances.

I like Cooley, seems like a great guy and he's a talented coach, but like, he's been coaching D1 for seventeen years and has very little to show for it.

He's like college basketball's coaching version of Bobby Grich. Consistently pretty good to really good.

He’s gone. Ed’s family wants out of Providence.

Georgetown has the resources to but with the crew they have running things I'm not so sure about that. Pitino was begging them to offer him the job.

Is it just about the money for Cooley? I mean more money is nice but he chose a slimey way to get a raise by floating his name to Gtown and starting to pack up the office.

Bigger upside at Georgetown and he knows it's going to be hard to keep up what he's done at PC.

Point taken, yet if I have a choice between a good Georgetown, or a good PC, I take Georgetown every day of the week and on Sunday.

Truer words have never been spoken. People count their chickens before they hatch way too much in sports or really in a lot of subjects in life

Also can’t believe Providence is letting this mediocre coach jerk them around like this. They aren’t negotiating with a future hall of famer, let Georgetown over pay him, he hasn’t won dick ever.

LOL, he lives in East Greenwich. It’s like saying you want out of Hartford if you live in Middletown. He bleeds Providence.

Until a signature is on the line which is dotted, it’s not done.

I agree that's better for the conference overall.

Earlier in the thread you realized his bleeding Providence crap is nonsense and that you were duped.

Now that there is a glimmer of hope that you can make a Sweet 16 once every dozen years you are right back on board.

Providence fans are glorious in their simultaneous delusions of grandeur and recognition that mediocrity is a ceiling they will pay dearly to maintain. I hope this saga drags on for weeks.
