But I guess in some PC fans minds losing "Mediocre Ed Cooley" is not that great a loss, 3 tourney wins in 12 years ...Ouch !If Cooley makes the lateral move within the Big East to Georgetown, for the financial reasons already posited, Providence's AD will have a crisis situation dealing with fans and boosters.
Well now that the G-town job seems to be locked, I guess Brey has found the perfect warm weather retirement job, LOL!..... I mean it's USF in the often raided mid-major still known as Aresco's AAC. You don't really have to be good ...you just have to be there. Since most of the AAC schools end up somewhere else anyway...Also no on Rickie P but a couple of reports G-town offering crazy $$ to Cooley and /or the MD/ DC native coming home ( Mike Brey ).........
What this is is addition by subtraction for the Big East. Patrick Ewing is removed, Georgetown gets a coaching upgrade with a coach in Cooley who is at least established as a winning college coach, and Providence now will get someone who they think is better than Cooley's 3 NCAA wins in 12 years. For the league as a whole, it's a win. Pitino replacing Anderson could also be viewed as a coaching upgrade, although I think Mike Anderson is a good coach with the right team and program.
Make that Slick Rick might be playin' PC against ST John's ? Interesting clip......right here.....Rickie P coming back to the Big East will make this league totally loaded with great coaches. I hopeGeorgetown( (Providence ?) and St. John's have a bidding war for Rickie P's coaching services and his agent plays them off against each other just as all great agents do. May the highest bidder win the auction!
St. John's seems to have much weaker grounds for termination for cause against Anderson than UConn did against Kevin Ollie, and UConn lost their arbitration case and had to not only pay Ollie, but also lots and lots of attorneys fees and litigation costs. I think Anderson will eventually get paid quite a bit even if unlike Ollie, he wears down from the litigation.Oh...and as the Big East carousal continues.........
Ex- St. John's coach Mike Anderson planning to file lawsuit against school over firing for cause
St. John's has since targeted Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino to take over the programwww.cbssports.com
Looks like they're going young, 34 yrs. young for the next HC,Your up PC.......
That is the positive spin. Another spin is that they settled for sloppy seconds because the better, more experienced and proven, and more coveted coach, Micah Shrewsberry, an Indiana native, left Penn State to take the Notre Dame job:Looks like they're going young, 34 yrs. young for the next HC
Wow that's a over the top assumption on your part. Why is stating a FACT....someone's age.... a spin period ????? Actually if anything it's probably that Providence went for the cheap/inexperienced option which kinda solidifies the point I made over a week ago in this thread......about Providence. But it's not my problem, LOL!That is the positive spin. Another spin is that they settled for sloppy seconds because the better, more experienced and proven, and more coveted coach, Micah Shrewsberry, an Indiana native, left Penn State to take the Notre Dame
Plus can Providence afford Cooley if that's the number? They're both Private Catholics but G-town has a $3 Billion+ Endowment with nearly 22,000 students. That dwarfs Providence with its 4,800 students and only $231 Mil in the kitty.
