The Georgetown coaching situation—already plenty interesting with the school having canned John Thompson III last week—got a lot more interesting over the weekend, when Gene Wang of the Washington Post reported that the leading candidates were Harvard’s Tommy Amaker, Shaka Smart of the University of Texas, and Notre Dame’s Mike Brey.

And it ended with Brey's people saying he was contacted and told them he wasn't interested.

If Ewing doesn't want to take over, then I'm good with Cooley. He knows the conference and he would do well with blue chip talent.

Cooley is not taking the job.

Mike Brey would be a good choice, with the added benefit of being an ACC coach who voluntarily moving to the Big East. Love to see the ESPN spin.

If Cooley were to leave, I hope people don't give him a hard time. These guys need to do what's best for them and their family. Here was a recent quote by Cooley.

The flurry of college job openings is easing, but that won't change much for Cooley. It sounds like he'd be surprised if the calls stop.
"It's really flattering that people want you," he says, "but it has to be the right fit. You never say never because you don't know what can happen in life and you never exclude opportunity that can enhance your family's life, but I'm not looking. I fit here at Providence College."

Would have been absolutely shocked if Cooley would have left providence for Georgetown and I am glad he is staying, no doubt Cooley would do great at Georgetown but I would rather them hire someone not at the expense of another Big East school.
