IMO, this is an awful hire. Pat Kelsey would have been a much better option. English was solid at George Mason. If you want to grab a mid-major coach to lead your program, you need a stud. English is solid, but he's not a stud.

PC fans will never root for harder than they will for any team playing Georgetown and that includes UConn, this all happened in a little over a week. When you are f' ed as hard as we have been from one of your own, this is the reaction you can expect. He wasn't the man we thought he was and he was never the man he professed to be. Georgetown deserves him.

I have a weird feeling that this might work out well for you guys. You were a joke when Cooley took over, and now you’re solid, but that guy is not a good in-game coach and I don’t think he was ever getting you to the next level. Maybe this new guy is good. You never know.

Either way at least you’re not paying 6 mil for an above average but nowhere near great coach.
 
Val, coming out endorsing this because the league needs GT to be successful might be accurate, but was a bad look How do you do one of your teams like that?

I don't think this makes Providence look as good as you think it does. One of two things are true:

1) Providence knew Cooley was having this relationship and PC and its fans were totally cool with it until Cooley left, at which point they leaked a rumor that they had known was happening for years just to hurt Cooley's reputation; or

2) Providence fans made up a malicious rumor to slander their ex-coach.

Both of those are bad looks for Providence and its fans.

I can’t tell you how little I care about what you think. Go screw somebody out of their money, banker.

Just my humble opinion here. Unfortunately, most modern press reporting has agendas attached, be it sports, politics, you name it. Used to be, a reporter reported the story, and left the reader to weigh the facts against the fiction. Too many folks are compensated to tell lies in our society these days, without personal consequence. Nowadays, a skilled liar gets promoted.

Both are a very Boston sports media thing to do, so is it shocking either way?

To answer a question on the other thread that was locked for some reason. PC fans are not mad about a change in coaching. There are many that have questioned Cooley’s coaching acumen. But, he was our guy and you look past some things, just like your fan base does.

What everyone is incensed about is that we all know the reason Cooley is leaving but he has his sycophant press whores like Goodman and Fanta lying about it and in turn damaging PC which is now incredibly a rival school for him. It’s amazingly low class. The fact that this has been happening a while and he tanked what looked like a very nice season just makes it worse. To say we have been duped is a mild representation of it.

To those of you telling me, we tried to tell you? You were right. There is not much more I can add.

Best of luck tomorrow.

Chief tried to warn people. But, it was also a failure in conference leadership, which quite frankly we saw all season with officiating as UConn followers, based on personal grudges.

This may well be true but she should have been smart enough to realize that there are cookies in DC too. In fact, there are likely a lot more there than in RI.

People are assuming this whole personal narrative is true about what the move will bring. This is interesting, since this hasn’t exactly been a journey of truth. A counter narrative would be it is a journey to “freedom”.

She’s been a disaster this season.
 
I don't really care who they hired, as long as it wasn't Kimani. Or any of our assistants for that matter.

I want our assistant coaches punching above their weight class when they get their first jobs. I'd be ecstatic if Luke or Kimani got hired by a Big East team.

Kimani in particularly really is ready to go. He's paid his dues as an assistant. Raising his kids on his own, I think his mom still lives with him. And I know he faced a bunch of discrimination early in his career because he's a felon. He deserves head coach $$$.

The PC fan transition from “If Ed Cooley hit me a with a bus I’d shake his hand apologize for being in his way” to “good riddance I never liked him anyway” has been FASCINATING

Find me a single poster saying they never liked him. I know a couple that never liked him but they would have run him over with a bus. Your post is simply another lie in a world full of them.

He definitely deserves it but fortunately I'm sure he is doing more than alright with his AHC salary. Believe he makes around 750K plus incentives.

I think 750k was with incentives... IIRC his base salary was 575k. Which is going to be better than many (all?) low-major jobs. I just don't see how he is going to be able to jump right to an A10 level or better coaching job right now when he's never head-coached a game other than AAU.
 
English is obvious an unknown quantity as a head coach. At Mason, he was making $450 thousand a year with incentives that could double it. My guess is that he is now in the 1.5 million range at PCU.

Does anyone know if he will bring any of his George mason players with him?
