Have good word that Ed Cooley to Michigan is happening. So I wonder who Providence will look towards and how their coaching process will play out.

Amazing in this day and age of twitter news how completely dead wrong people end up being. "Oh my sources are saying this is a done deal" and then 15 mins later the complete opposite happens.  It's a result of this rush to be first news cycle world we live in.

Good news for the BE that Cooley is staying.

He was clearly never offered. Nobody turns down Michigan for Providence.

Smart move. If he took Michigan it maybe ends poorly. Providence is probably a lifetime job making good money

Doesn't matter if he was or wasn't. From a recruits POV ,big time pub having your prospective coach be offered a big time job, turn,it down and securing your coach for your 4 year stay. The Providence job just went up a notch. Well now there's only DePaul and us and DePaul is climbing.

Hard to believe. Even if Cooley was offered and turned the job down that's not big time publicity, it's barely a blip in the news cycle. I don't see how it moves the needle in regard to the desirability of the job or how it's a factor in convincing recruits that Providence is the place to be. Test case, let's see what sort of a bump Porter Moser gets from thumbing his nose at SJU.

Cooley's contract is big news in New England, and that is the ony place Providence and Colley care about.  New Englander s don't care about national.

That's may be but I don't know how many recruits read the Providence Journal. Guessing not that many.

Im guessing that the average recruit only cares about who is pursuing him and a possible envelope.  Him staying helps recruiting in that it shows consistency to whomever he is pursuing.

In what world is that big time pub or helping with recruits?

Reality check:  he was never offered the job.
