I’m trying to be patient but I still see little evidence that this team — while more athletic and presumably more talented — is any different than the Ewing-era teams. Defensively, I see little difference. Embarrassing effort.
And yes, Cooley took over a dumpster fire. But I see other teams having immediate success with new coaches (Kansas State, for example) in this new NIL era and I wonder why that can’t happen on the hill. #pitino
I’ll continue to try to be patient, but is it too much to ask to see just a little bit of progress at some point? Because we haven’t seen it yet under Cooley.
Thanks for this article. Spot on overall. Game went about as badly as it could have -- like you said, all the excitement, almost 9000 fans, a real chance to take a step for the team, program, and fans. I am one who keeps preaching patience -- we are 1 throwaway season and 3 games into the Cooley Era. We have a highly rated recruit class, and lots of promise but very young. Also, we can't compare Cooley and Gtown to Shrewsberry and ND in year 2. ND returned a core of 6-7 players, many of them starters, and added its own highly rated recruiting class. We returned 3 players, 1 starter, and added 11 new players. If the difference between these 2 teams is familiarity and cohesion as a team, we can't expect the Hoyas to be where the Irish are. It's a rebuild and we have to think long game. TBS, Cooley has to provide answers as to what the game plan is offensively and defensively so we the fans have an idea of what progress is being made. Patience will be a lot easier knowing that.
