Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
Nah - not in the way this was done.
#1 - It's pretty clear Cooley met with the Georgetown AD Feb 26th and filed home selling paperwork less than a week later. During that course of time a ranked PC team didn't win a single remaining game. That's busch league.
#2 - Ed's ENTIRE BRAND was build on the "us, we, together, family, Friars" mantra that was based on the fact that he was "just a local kid working his dream job, living his dream."
This was the most public and awkward college coaching situation I've ever seen. For such a transparent guy who thrives on avoiding coachspeak - he literally changed his whole tune, pretended this wasn't happening, lied about being focused on PC, and then tanked an opportunity for the Friars to have a memorable season.
Nevermind for PC, for anyone Ed had a top 15 salary and top facilities. It sounded like PC was willing to go even higher.
But on the Georgetown side - LMAO you're going to pay $6M a year...more than Tom Izzo...for 3 NCAA wins in 12 years?? What are the Hoyas aspirations??
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

Portalpalooza shakedown add Cooley to the Wild West at a higher level man this is gonna get interesting!
Friartown really got screwed in epic fashion here any other take is ridiculous.
(Actually this thread is probably top 5 all time in the Keaney Blue bad take department)
Going forward we really need that separate “All Things FriarTown” thread!

Just my humble opinion but I think when you get outside the basketball blue bloods and some select P5’s, it’s coaches and not programs for the rest of us that drive success.steviep123 wrote: ↑1 year agoThat is an excellent point.

Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
With the way things are going, I think Universities are going to go the NBA GM route soon. Have a person/team responsible for getting players, and have the coach coach them. The players are taken care of by the school, and the player/coach loyalty doesn't mean as much.

I am not impressed with Mike Rhodes. He is an OK coach, the definition of average and vanilla. I doubt PC has much interest in him.

Rhody15 you have my sympathies. If anyone had any doubt as to where your true allegiances lie, this thread clearly illustrates where they are. Open hostility to anyone who thought there was a chance that Cooley may leave to outright anger at the coach when he does, no Rhody fan would act that way.

Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
CBB coach says what he needs to say to recruit talent and rally his fanbase. CBB coach takes new job that he perceived as better. Nothing new to see here and Cooley didn’t do anything that countless others haven’t done before him. Especially Rhody fans who have seen it with Penders, Harrick and Dan. Blue what you are leaving out of your description of the 2018 season is a media interview about 3 weeks before that season ended where Dan waxed about coaches losing sight of what they are there for, it becoming all about money not coaching young men yada yada yada. Then leaving.
I don’t fault him one bit for that sound bite. It’s part of the profession. I also don’t think it speaks to anything negative about Dan’s character. He believed that when he said it and he believes it now. Just like Ed can fully have believed he was in his dream job at that time and he was building a family. Feelings change.

Why would you hate the guy? He has no connection to URI other than being an assistant back in the 80's? Do you hate Dan Hurley as well? He did the same thing to URI.
I hate Cooley cus he backed out on our game, said it wasn’t a rivalry for years, always thought him and the school were better than they were.
First, our team was not going to be a tourney team the after the Duke loss. We lost EC, Stan, Jared, Jarvis, Berry.
The way it played out with Cooley was very different than Hurley, and I’m sure the majority of people would say the same thing.

Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
I mean it is basically the same scenario - except we expect our good coaches to leave eventually because we know we are not that top program.Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 year agoLol how Ed Cooley and Dan Hurley left couldn’t be more different.theblueram wrote: ↑1 year agoWhy would you hate the guy?

Hurley was 10X classier with how it went.

Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
Both teams limped into the NCAAT. URI was a projected 4 seed that year and just collapsed. PC crapped on themselves as well. URI won a game and pc was one and done. Both that URI team and this pc team were much better than what the result was. And both coaches had new gigs before the year was over. How is it different?Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 year agoAbsolutely false.theblueram wrote: ↑1 year agoCouldn't be more different? It appears to me both Ed and Dan blew up NCAAT teams to take another job.
