Mark Dondero (@MarkDondero) and Ben Kichen ponder could Ed Cooley leave as the Friars head coach? The Friars are one good player away from making it to the elite eight next season. If it’s the Georgetown job Cooley should stay in Providence. Georgetown hasn’t made it really far in any of the March madness games in years. It would be a huge loss for Providence if Ed Cooley leaves. The first call Providence should have is Rick Pitino. If Pitino comes in it will be a step up for the Friars. Pitino is 75 he could be all done with coaching soon. Too many upsets are happening in the March Madness.
