HJS {l Wrote}:I honestly think anyone who is "happy" with the hire of any of these publicly released interviews just wanted Al gone. NO ONE ever heard of Mooney or Donahue before this season. Hell... no one probably heard of any of them before March.
Cadillac90 {l Wrote}:Here's an idea however far fetched it may be...what if DeFilippo is interviewing his backup guy right now? Say for example he trims these guys down to Donahue. He then makes a quiet attempt to get someone bigger and if that falls through, he will hire Donahue (or whomever he picks). This could be ideal for DeFilippo as there is not a lot of time that elapses and if rejected, Gene saves face because no one will know that he lost out on a bigger name.

Good theory. I hope it is true, but I doubt it. It would be kind of an asswipe way to treat the other interviewees.

I'm hoping Gene is not in a super big hurry. I don't know if you read the papers, but apparently Stevens is busy through the weekend.
It would be good if Gene could give Stevens a couple of days before making a decision. You know, kind of like he did with Addazio on the fooball side.

cameagle {l Wrote}:True HJS, what you are saying about Donohue, but how many people really knew who Bruce Pearl was before he beat BC in the NCAA tournament? It seems like a very similar situation to me.

I heard on WEEI this morning that he is interviewing Coen next week so it does not sound like anything is coming before then.

As we all feared, this ain't gonna be a great hire (again) by GDF. Of course, we will get those who hate minority head coaches ecstatic over the fact that we have someone with a pale complexion.
Isn't Cooley a Chinese guy?

campion {l Wrote}:I guess its a generational thing... is it still a racist statement if your audience doesn't get the reference? Back in the day, a cooley was a cooley.
Buttercup {l Wrote}:I would be very happy with Mooney. Has recruited the ACC area, is young, energetic, different offense, and has not had any failures anywhere.
I would be reasonably happy with Donahue. I think he fits the profile of a guy who will sell the program... the question is can he recruit at this level?
I would wait and see on Cooley. I love the enthusiasm. He found great recruits at BC and has turned a doormat Fairfield program around pretty quickly.
I would not be very happy with Coen. Good eye for talent, but not the program leader we need.
I would obviously be angry about Amaker... though at least it would be fun to follow recruiting. Only the losing would suck.
