2023 Coaching Carousel

[Jersey77]

Count me in the camp that no-way Cooley leaves for Georgetown.

Georgetown owes Ewing around $15M (possibly negotiate an $11M buyout).
They aren't writing Cooley a blank check to come, and doubtful he would regardless.

Sports Illustrated

ESPN said Capel has been "linked to the job in recent weeks" alongside Providence's Ed Cooley (reportedly the top candidate), Penn State's Micah Shrewsberry, NC State's Kevin Keatts, Yale's James Jones and outgoing Notre Dame coach Mike Brey.

Source: Texas Tech has expressed serious interest in Rick Pitino over the last 36 hours to replace Mark Adams.

Iona plays tonight in the semifinals of the MAAC Tournament.

[ace]

Unless he’s solely motivated by money, Pitino in Lubbock, when he has other options, seems unlikely to me.

[ramster]

I doubt Lubbock as well, but the more jobs Pitino gets linked to the better for negotiating.

Cost of living in DC is like twice what it is here. They don’t have a fancy practice facility, the fans don’t show up and the whole roster needs to be replaced. Oh, and the last three coaches have been fired. It would take a ton of money for any successful coach to consider that.

[bigappleram]

Pitino isn’t going to Lubbock. That is his agent intentionally creating more interest to up his leverage.

Those dismissing Georgetown outright aren’t fully understanding the psyche of D1 cbb coaches. No one is worried about cost of living when they are making 4-5mm/year.

[ramster]

No denials coming from any camps.

[bigappleram]

For Cooley it will all come down to whether he wants to go through another rebuild. Dan had the stomach for it. Not sure if Ed does. If he does he’s gone. All these national guys aren’t talking about it for no reason.

[bigappleram]

No denials coming from any camps.

Exactly Ramster. You’re paying attention

Supposedly Brey wants the job not sure why at his age but that's the rumor.

Maryland guy. Makes sense he wants to come home. But I don’t think their fanbase will love that.

They have a practice facility. Completed in 2016.

That’s pretty nice. I stand corrected.

[ace]

I know it’s been years, but Georgetown for me is all about Allen Iverson and Big John laying it all out to defend his players and being a strong presence and role model in a white coaching world. It’s also my husband’s favorite team, for all the Thompson reasons plus kid him having Ewing come to his Knicks, so it would be nice if they got back.

Cooley has handled the new transfer market as good as anyone, so I think a rebuild isn’t as big of a challenge as it was even five years ago. Coaching is a weird job, but the reasons people leave or stay are similar to a lot of people’s jobs when they are fortunate enough to have options. New challenges versus comfort and familiarity, compensation and resources, some ego and self-fulfillment.

Brian Gregory out at South Florida

Never matched his success at Dayton, when he left for Georgia Tech.

Him leaving UD was the best thing to happen to Flyer fans. Opened the door to Archie and their greatest run in the modern era.

How he messaged that situation was beyond baffling to me. High school PR person could have given better counsel.

There are multiple reports that Georgetown may pursue Cooley. As for my take:

I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball

There are however others much closer to the situation that apparently do and perhaps they know much more. Any candles being lit?

He’s their #1 target it’s not a doubt at this point. It’s only a matter of if he takes it.

BAR, that is one pretty "BIG" if.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Autry is an awful hire for Syracuse. That’s a marquee job and they could have anyone they want. First time HC who presided on the staff as the program got progressively worse. I’d be shocked if he’s successful.

I was bummed, but then I remembered...the guy after "The Guy" can't possibly live up to The Guy.
You're looking for The Guy After the guy....hopefully it doesn't take too long to get through the guy after The Guy.
I mean, at least Rhody has already passed through the Phase 1 guy after The Guy....

[ace]

Whole lot of ick on both sides here…




I don’t know enough about Providence’s overall resources to know if Cooley could use the Georgetown talk to make his situation better at PC.

I like Micah Shrewsberry for Georgetown, mainly because he seems like a really good coach and Penn State is trash.

I guess my cryptic post was perhaps a bit over your head.

I will just add that typically where there is smoke, there is fire.

Actually, it goes "where there is smoke there is fire."

But in this case, most felt that Cooley would be a top target.
He may use it as leverage for more $, but doubtful he is going anywhere.
He is already where he wants to be, unless of course a blueblood P5 (not BE) program comes calling with a ridiculous offer.

[reef]

Let’s see what Gtown offers since he’s their # 1 target , if it’s north of 5 M could be hard for Ed to pass up for all the reasons mentioned above

I think you are underestimating the ambition of cbb coaches. And applying too much logic. The longer it goes without a statement from Cooley-PC the more possible it becomes. I don’t think this is a posture for another renegotiation he Is very well paid at PC.

I am sure he probably already had discussion with his players and administration regarding these rumors.
Right now the team is concentrating on Selection Sunday and he doesn't feel the necessity to make a statement to the media at this point.
Maybe because no concrete offer has been put forth yet.
Who knows, but still I don't see this happening.

Friartown Talk

Yuk

Edit:

Actually I’ll add to my snarky post…

Mods how ‘bout we create a separate Friartown thread so those of us who choose to ignore poster obsession with Friartown can ignore it like I ignore the Big East and uConn lovefest threads?

Whaddayathink?

[steviep123]

For what it’s worth they also said DH was going to Georgetown at the last hire.

For what it’s worth they also said DH was going to Georgetown the last time they had an opening.

I love this stuff so much. Everybody has sources! Everyone knows a guy who knows a guy! It’s chaos, but the stakes are so low.

Fanta IS locked in to Big East stuff, but it’s still funny to me.



It’s pure theater!

Leave Eddie leave !!

The coaching carousel is a disturbing ride lol. One season and he’s not a good fit, ridiculous. As for Cooley, I’d say it’s a 50/50 shot of heading down to GT.

[adam914]

I'm loving all of this. Its fun when you can watch from the sidelines with no dog in the fight. (other than wanting PC to come out of it as bad as possible)

[bigappleram]

Grasso to Providence! Manifest it.

Micah Shrewsbery , Brad Stevens former assistant with Butler and the Celtics has coached Penn St to the Big 10 title game , wasn’t he mentioned for us when Cox got hired ??
