It would also be helpful if Georgetown as an institution stepped up for Ed, too, particularly in communications.

He was announced on Monday-- it’s now Saturday and his Twitter account is still CoachCooleyPC and has a Providence bio. (His Cameo is actually updated!)

The press release being filled with multiple errors and leading to a 404 page.

The laggy stream on the presser.

Georgetown has to do a better job, because some of these errors are inexcusable.

Matt, you are so right. This isn't a recent problem either. These types of errors have been longstanding.

As for Ed Cooley, two precedents come to mind. He could be another Tommy Lasorda, whose infectious enthusiasm ignited the Dodgers in 1977 to win 3 National League pennants in 5 years and a World Series championship. Or, Cooley could pan out as another Elmer Gantry. Only time will tell.

I’d prefer we go with Bruce Bochy in SF getting 3 titles in 5 years, but either way, 3 titles in 5 years sounds good

From his rah-rah tone at the press conference, Cooley sounded a lot more like Lasorda than Bochy.
