Had Michigan landed Cooley, I was thinking that Providence should have gone all out after Vermont's John Becker. The man can coach. Imagine what he could do with high-major recruits.

Should Cooley decline, tell Pitino that if he covers the buy-out, he's in. Win-win for everyone!

Unless PC runs the table rest of the ooc games, that would suck for the league.

yep.... 1st 6 years of new set up- PC was 58-50.

Some hope is that they only went 7-11 last season- so might not be quite as bad as we think. But even there- they were nearly fatal for St John's, and probably were fatal for Butler. And Xavier would have been really interesting with a win over them.

Here we go again with Stever talking up our basement stealing bids lol. We're 6 years in and never really had a basement dweller keep anyone out of the tournament, which most power conferences can't say. PC wasn't good last year in conference and I highly doubt they'll be good this year. Probably worse than 7-11 and will be major underdogs vs the top half.

I believe 10 years left on his deal puts him just behind Cal, in terms of job security in college basketball.

Is there any language in the deal as far as a buyout? I doesn't sound like it.

The stakes were high for Providence College. Ed Cooley is the public face of the college and it was critical that the college keep him when Big Ten powerhouse University of Michigan came knocking to hire him to be their new basketball coach.
It is big business. Michigan’s athletic program generates the fourth most revenue of any college programs in America — $185,173,187 annually.

Now, Cooley after a second contract extension in three years, is slated to earn between an estimated $30 and $40 million over the course of his new contract with Providence College -- estimated to be 10 years.


Damn. Cooley is making amost as much as Mac and has nearly the same job security too. What a coincidence. :o ;)
