COACHSPEAK 101:
Not trying to argue but that's the exact article with the I quote in the post above yours.
"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."
If you understand coachspeak, then that quote doesn't sound as firm as "no interest in leaving Providence."
He said "I'm not looking. I fit here at Providence College." Big difference.. especially when Cooley had just finished saying, "It has to be the right fit."
If that isn't a red flag to you, then the fact that there even needed to be a long article about Cooley possibly leaving should signify that there is some smoke, if nothing else.
I don't know if Cooley is the right guy for the job at Georgetown. However, he definitely looks the part a lot more than someone like Dan Hurley. Georgetown has had an African-American coach for so long, it just feels part in parcel with the job and the city itself.
If by chance Cooley gets the job, I hope that article isn't blown out of proportion. The writer took a few liberties in framing those quotes. That's not Cooley's fault.

Craig Esherick is one of my favorite African coaches.

The Georgetown brand is still an urban mark to a lot of people. That was embodied by Thompson and his tough exterior. Esherick was a mistake.
That being said, someone like Frank Martin could fit the role of that larger than life figure. He's not African-American. I do feel like this position needs to have that mindset because this is DC's team.
