Was told they interviewed an A10 coach alreadySo if Eddie leaves Providence, does that open the door for Pitino reunion or is the St Johns situation a done deal? I would think PC would be desirable to someone out there. Maybe Pat Kelsey ?
Seth Greenberg just said on ESPN "Providence will be a player" for Rick Pitino Greenberg teeing off on how poor the St. John's facilities are, compared to Providence, and said he thinks Pitino will go to Queens if St. John's "gives him the keys" #SJUBB

Yup. I never understand why people post in absolutes. Unless you’re Ed Cooley or his family how can you say it will “never” happen?Shocking news about Cooley to G'town. I read on this board that this was a no chance due to how much him and Providence love each other and also his wife works there too.

I mean sure, but I never expect people to behave absolutely. Ed wasn't planning on leaving, but when a school you have connections with comes calling with a dumptruck full of money because they've been a dumpster fire for almost a decade using in-house candidates, that changes the equation a bit.Yup.

Think he was making less than $4M at Prov, GTown was offering closer to $6MIt is a pretty big shock talking to several folks around the PC program. Gtown must have really ponied up.

Wondering if NIL funding potential played into the decision. G-Town has much richer pockets. Cooley has done really well in the Portal, but perhaps pay to play is getting difficult. Can't believe he would be leaving if all was well with PC.It is a pretty big shock talking to several folks around the PC program. Gtown must have really ponied up.

it's gonna be a big problem. Guy is a legend, is going to win and will do it in our backyard.
Having Ed at Gtown will also be a big problem. He can recruit better there and we like to grab kids from the DMV.
Red better be ready to joust with the big boys pronto
I love the Autry hire and how things are starting out. He’s definitely setting the tone that there’s a new sheriff in town. But both Pitino and Cooley were at the top of many of our fans’ wish lists as JB’s successor. He’s gonna have to beat out these two on the regular in recruiting. I hope he’s ready to crush it.it's gonna be a big problem. Guy is a legend, is going to win and will do it in our backyard.

Yikes that would be a red flag to me regarding that job and the administration.
