When Ed Cooley left Providence for Georgetown this week, the old, familiar narratives about the Friars found their way back into our lives. As pundits like Jeff Goodman and John Fanta pieced together reasons why the hometown hero would jump ship to a conference rival, we started hearing about how Cooley maxed out at PC after last year’s Sweet 16 run.
Cooley did great things @ PC and I wish him well personally (professionally he will soon find out that G'Town's greatness is a thing of the past like a VCR). I am very impressed how PC turned the page so quickly and effectively with the English hire. I love how quickly he has engaged with the program. Keeping Hopkins, Carter, Floyd, Pierre, with the two GM transfers will be critical to next year's success. Looking forward to a new style of play that Coach English will bring. Let's turn the page Friar fans and race forward!
I don't feel like Ed thought PC was maxed out. I truly feel like he just wanted a change and thought it was now or never. Sucks that change is at a conference rival, but for me it just makes everything more exciting. I'm all for story lines and drama.

This definitely got me fired up. I hope they can keep Hopkins, Carter and Pierre .
