We probably do agree on more than we disagree. You’re already wavering from your initial position, though. A national search isn’t open to interpretation. We know what that means and that’s not what happened. Sounds like we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.
What’s interesting is that a number of posters were upset Cooley wasn’t named coach here , there were a number of threads, posts about it. Cooley went to Georgetown and is 36-43 while Autry is 43-35 over the same time period. There are no guarantees, you just never know. Arguing over conjecture is pretty useless, it’s tough enough to figure out reality.
I didn’t see him here either but again it was just my opinion. In addition, the circumstances how he left Providence (not the leaving but how he did it) made me think I wouldn’t want him here. Kim English, his successor at Providence is 40-40, a slightly better record than Cooley at Georgetown who reportedly had one of the largest NIL budgets. We along with others, were outbid for their pg Mack and center Thomas Sorber by the Hoyas. As I said, you just never know, there are no guarantees, Cooley was supposed to make a huge impact there but it hasn’t happened yet. He is earning over 3 x Red Autry is too.
If Red had thrown a similar bottle, the complete lack of fans in the dome would’ve prevented any similar injuries.
Plus Georgetown still sucks. And always will
Give me a break. If there was a national search and they thought Red was the best candidate and didn’t get him on the cheap, the decision makers on the Hill are even dumber than I thought.
Talk to people who know how the succession plan was derived and how many coaches, agents, and media members were consulted over a period of over two years, then sit down with John Wildhack and have him describe what went into the effort. Then come back and apologize. If by a “national search” you mean a parade of candidates posting on twitter and flight aware sightings being prevalent, you are absolutely correct. If you mean full consideration of internal and external candidates, less so.
I won’t be apologizing because it’s BS.
Ok. Happy Holidays.
theres a cautionary tale here - but not about red and cooley - about what happens when a storied program lets things go ...georgetown is in even worse than SU is...used to be ncaabb royalty and now looking like it wont happen again...What’s interesting is that a number of posters were upset Cooley wasn’t named coach here , there were a number of threads, posts about it.

more likely to get hit by an errant pass or free throw at the dome.
Literal much?
I have one question for the both of you, do birds even need pants?
Ground hog day again and again.
