Patrick Ewing gone…

Cooley isn‘t going to Georgetown. That would be like Calhoun leaving UConn for St. John’s.

They need to find a competent young coach who has been successful. Pat Kelsey should be on their list.

Georgetown is a top 3 job in this conference. I’m not saying Cooley would take it, but he’d absolutely pick the phone up.
 
I’d rather coach PC. The recruiting scene at the New England preps is more pleasant. Plenty of nice country drives to see prospects. Providence is a very livable city with great food, character and far fewer hassles than a large city. Aside from that, Cooley is a Providence guy.

Georgetown and SJU should fight it out for Slick Rick. The loser should hire a young up and comer.

He’s from Providence. It’s his hometown. This is his dream job. The difference in jobs with Georgetown is negligible.

But it is not.

The two brands are not comparable, nor is the ceiling for each program.

I understand what you are saying about Cooley, I am just saying there is a lot of smoke. Could be a move out of the Jim Harbaugh playbook just to get a raise or could have merit. We will see.

That’s like saying the difference between UConn and providence is negligible. Cooley was a candidate for our job last time, there’s a huge difference.

Georgetown is a tired, moribund program. There’s no magic there.

I don‘t care if Georgetown ever wins another game.

But I feel badly for Ewing. Unlike almost every other NBA player who became a college coach, he actually wanted to do the job. Unfortunately, he was really, really bad at it.

Agree with this. I like Ewing. He can't coach at this level though, yet. I was really hoping he'd be good.

Time to put the Ewing Theory to the test again!
 
I didn’t follow the program after we left the BE, but why did they get rid of John Thompson III years ago?

Is Ralph Dalton replacing him?

I understand why there are big names thrown out there as the new coach and hiring one of them will probably happen but I‘m somewhat surprised that Mike Jones hasn’t even been mentioned.

He‘s a legendary coach in DC with his Dematha history and he, umm..may have been hired at VT because of his connection with Rodney Rice. Rice was hurt most of the year but he played very well in the handful of games that he played in. I think he’s going to be a fantastic college player as the next few years go by. Maybe Rice would follow Jones again, this time back to DC.

Stuff like this is temporary. We were forgotten trash in the American for years, now we’re back like we never left. Program deaths last as long as poor leadership resides over them. The biggest brands just have the easiest time attracting leaders and talent.

You guys overrate Georgetown. The modern world is dominated by large state universities. GeorgeTown is on borrowed time.
