The Pool

If Cooley is the pool leader, than we started Dead Pool II.

What a fucking disgrace.

I'm still not sure where this Duq rumor is coming from. Why would he insist on Duq when Duq is an apparently front-runner for a head-coaching job in Worcester?

Isn't it established that Duke is NOT a front-runner for the HC job since he does not have HC experience which is a pre-req?

Logi:

Being a Skinner hater, do you think Coen or Cooley would be an improvement?

Cooley was not hired yesterday, but the close observers of the process feel like the fix is in and we will have a cheap, passionate, loyal, grateful head coach whom everyone in the building loves by next week. Maybe Donahue and Mooney have a legit shot but the Duquette gossip that popped up today makes me think they will have a predictable ending. If you have a good thing at a midmajor and you are interviewing with an AD who just bounced his winningest coach, and said AD asks you about current BC staff, wouldn't that send a chill down your spine?

So basically Gene is going to do what we all thought he'd do. Hope Cooley can rise to the occasion.

Eagledom/OJ is not going to be happy if Cooley ends up being the next head coach.

Would anybody? IMO that would be a disaster. There isn't a point to firing Al if you are going to bring in someone who was under him and keep 1/2 of the joke that we call our current staff.

It seems like your "disaster" hire may happen even sooner than my timeline posted above.

Yes.
I believe that either one of these guys will do what the previous 4 staffs have done and bring BC to the tournie multiple times and with the added bonus of being great ambassadors for the school and the program.

pin meet balloon. the air is coming out.

not saying any of these candidate will fail. but what happened to GDF's "national search for an Izzo-like leader of a basketball program", and "we will pay what we have to pay" for the right coach? These statements do not jive with a Coen or Cooley hire.

Poster on EagleAction is claiming to have received info that BC will have a new coach by next tuesday or wednesday and that if not for the final four that it would be done this weekend. FWIW.
