Kim English OUT as Providence’s HC

Here's a nice kick in the balls.

PC has to go play AT Georgetown Saturday.

PC didn't have the class to wait until after the season to announce this???? Or even after they had to go play Cooley on the road? That's a really, really crappy way to treat a coach that doesn't seem like a bad guy who tried to do everything the best he could cleaning up the mess Cooley left.

it's a mid-major program riding the coat tails of a Final Four appearance when Reagan was president.

PC didn't announce it. Their AD has been looking around and it was leaked.

Kim English comes off as an arrogant p^^^k. I couldn't care less he failed at the job he had no business getting in the first place.

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.

I wouldn’t say punk. But he’s definitely a brown nose kiss ass who sucks up to the Trustees and clergy at PC.

I really like Kim English. He is fiery, passionate, and he cares a lot. But he has 5 years of total experience, has never finished above 5th in his conference, and the only postseason he’s seen is an NIT appearance in 2024

He’d be great as an assistant for a high major or as a mid major coach with room to grow. He’s young so has a lot of upside, just needs time to match the coaching skills with the fire. Not the right fit for a team that expects to make a tournament run right now

If Jamier Jones wants a fresh start somewhere else, I’ll take him in a heartbeat!

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.
 
You want a guy who has won, not shown the potential to win. Look at Harley’s career path. Every place he was at trended up and won.

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.

Other than your general "thoughts" that he's solid what else backs that up?

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.
