Almost every Big East coach is superior to Schyer
I forgot Shaka Smart … could even make a case for Cooley ,excepting this year ..
Regardless of this Board consensus and dislike for Ed , he did a lot at PC with not the best talent .
Always did get 1 4 -5 star player , every few years .
And , judging by his St Peter’s and now, SH success , Shaheen should be moving up that list too .
English at PC did a good job this year , even without Hopkins . He’s likely to ascend the list too .

I’m sure Cooley made a few top 15-20 lists prior to this season
Cooley was basically the same as Willard until Cooley made that Sweet 16 run. And Prov is an easier job than the Hall IMO. Both guys took some time to get going and then had a stretch where they made the dance but didn’t win games. Cooley had his break through 2 years ago and Willard never got there although he always had one foot out the door at the Hall anyway.
I think they both are good coaches. Argument could be made for either of them be being better than the other. Willard missed maybe his best tourney run chance the covid Year.
And he will again.

My fear is that if Rick can’t bring in a significant haul of players and misses another Dance, he may hang it up.

No reason to think Pitino won’t bring in good players or be successful next year. Our team was plenty good this year. If the ball bounced the right way in one or two games or the committee did their job, we might well be celebrating a big tournament run this year.

I’d be worried if he was 10 years younger. The sequel usually never good as the original I don’t think he wants to ruin the legacy of first run, Look what happened to Joe Gibbs and Red Holtzman. It’s hard go work back at place you left 3 years ago let alone 27 years ago!
He is not running away from this challenge here. This will be his greatest achievement succeeding here. This will be his legacy taking us to the final 4 and winning the whole thing. All the other things he has achieved will pale in comparison and thats saying something. He knows this.
They wouldn’t want him at this age.
The upside is too limited.
I do agree with this. Its tougher to win in NY. But, if you do it, you are remembered forever. Plus, a parade down the canyon of heroes doesn't happen anywhere else.
Those 18 year old, labor saving interns are a menace
Right? But RP does have a history with Kentucky and moving onto greener $$$ pastures.Those 18 year old, labor saving interns are a menace
