Somebody help make this make sense for me. Based on the clip on the last page, it seems like he’s publicly saying that he’s considering leaving PC? And that’s it???

Why on earth would he say that? That is 1000% something you keep to yourself as long as it takes to get a deal done, wherever they may be. But he’s taking media interviews saying that??

What am I missing here?

Because he's a liar and egomaniac. He wants it all...all the money, all the attention, and for people to still know he's a good guy.

Congrats to him, he's now the most overpaid guy in all of sports and people in his hometown hate him. Money is nice but be careful what you wish for.

While sitting in his daughters apartment in DC wearing PC gear on Providence Television. It’s incredible.

I admittedly am not too in the trenches of Cooley’s life, but he’s come off as a very agreeable guy. This is…..something else. Publicly disrespecting the fanbase

Cooley has been reading his press clippings. Guy hasn’t won jack, and if he goes to Georgetown and doesn’t perform, will get his ass fired.

He’s trying to save whatever legacy he has here by saying it a family health issue while he’s been negotiating for weeks and will become the 2nd highest paid coach in the NCAA with a massive NIL from Nike. I’m buying season tickets from Seattle just so I can be at the game next year.

What health issue could possibly be impacted by the move? He’s completely disingenuous. I’m thinking you should be thankful he’s gone. Time to move on. If he wants the Georgetown job just say that and stop these silly games.

Pitino, Barnes, Gillen, Cooley. PC hasn’t had problems replacing coaches for the most part. Keeping them is a different story.

It’s gotta be something else. Hates the AD, wife wants out of RI, loves DC & the Thompson family??

Perhaps the lights are not bright enough in Little Rhody. Obviously it’s no longer about the money.

Cooley’s not the guy for Georgetown. They need a dynamic Dan Hurley type coach.
 
I love the anonymity of these message boards. Ed Cooley is a guy’s guy. He’s very personable, enagaging and fun to be around. I understand that he’s handled this situation poorly. Perhaps he’s lost a bit of his humility now that he’s making $4M per year. Maybe it gets worse if/when he goes to Georgetown. I’d probably be disappointed if I was a PC fan.

But let the man live. None of us know what he’s going through. Don’t begrudge him for making a living. When he coached at Fairfield, he lived in my town, supported the community and was loved by all who knew him. Everyone needs to chill.
 
Corey Floyd situation chapped me a bit. Was still told what a good guy he is. Then his postgame comments. Even if he was right about some of it, it wasn't his place to say it, especially after just getting waxed. Now this bizarro Favre/Rodgers will he or won't he routine. If you are going to leave, at least be honest about it and do it without all the collateral damage. He helped tank the end of their season and he is still pretending he is struggling with the decision to try and trick everyone into thinking he is some kind of hometown hero while he has probably had his bags packed for weeks. If I was a PC fan, he would be dead to me. He's not some generational great coach. He's better than what they had previously so he just seems like filet mignon cuz all they had for years was ground chuck. Truth is he's like a london broil.

I forgot how it all went down with Cooley and Michigan. He talked to the press about hard it was for him to turn down Michigan because they're one of the best Universities in the country, Warde would be such a great guy to work for, and it was such an amazing offer. He had to turn the offer down because Providence will always be home and they're going to keep building something great there.

Problem is he was never offered the Michigan job. He got the fanbase to buy in even deeper into Ed and he got even more money from the College.
