PC didn't announce it. Their AD has been looking around and it was leaked.
I agree. Every time I hear him speak he sounds like a DB. Not sure why PC hired him since his resume was far from sterling. PC has money to spend on a coach. I’m sure they can do better.
Same, I just wonder if they've learned such bad habits under Kim English that they will be hard habits to break.
Good recruiter, abysmal game coach
I wouldn’t say punk. But he’s definitely a brown nose kiss ass who sucks up to the Trustees and clergy at PC.
Jamier Jones. If he isn’t going to the league
I would pass
can't imagine he'd want to be involved anyway - another big program, maybe. UConn? No way.
Cooley routinely made the tournament at Providence. A lot of people here think he stinks but he’s a solid coach. English is the one that just created a mess by going 0 for 3 in getting to the tournament.
Yeah, I'm gonna disagree with that. In the Big East conference, he's 124-143. He won a BE Tourney once in 2014. 5 first rd exits in the NCAA tourney only getting past the round of 32 once.
5 tournament appearances at Providence is solid. I don’t know why you would expect the coach of Providence to routinely get out of the first weekend. They don’t have that kind of history.
That's a fair answer, but PC is providing their coaches great resources, including very good NIL. Providence is a pretty good job and a good coach can take them to a much higher level. They can be as good as your normal Creighton and Marquette teams imo. Cooley seems to have slipped from his best work. I thought he'd make Georgetown pretty good. So far, he's been very disappointing and with the portal, there isn't really a decent excuse in year 3. I suspect they will get better under him, but I don't think anyone is satisfied with the job he's done so far.
Cooley had 7 tournament appearances at Providence, it would've been 8 if the tournament wasn't canceled for Covid in 2020.
What the heck does history have anything to do with it?
If only he'd been able to keep his pants on.
I don't know. Butler got to the championship game twice from what? The Horizon or A-10?
Pump the brakes Hans- Didn't say anything about 3 schools in 3 years for Richard. I don't see it. Rick has been quoted as saying he would like to see his son succeed him at St J. But I don't see Rick stepping down for awhile. Think he's having too much fun. IMO-Won't be surprised if something happens there in the future as long as Richard continues to build his coaching resume.
Brad Stevens
There is no player in college sports I would rather have less than Vaaks. Maybe the most selfish player I have watched in years. Jump over to the PC board to see what they think about him. No D, no facilitating, hunting shots and shoot at a replacement level percentage. Hardest of passes of all time for me, and I cannot imagine Danny wanting him on the team
I'm aware of who the coach was. He's a good coach. Cooley isn't. And when he gets canned from Georgetown, he'll con some other school into a contract and underachieve there too.
