Even during a period where there’s reason for optimism this board reeks of pessimism lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A down year in the BE is still better than an average MAC season. So much focus is on the HC. I’d rather judge the entire staff. (and possible continuity) Great point of view.

squire17 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Jon Rothstein: Sources: Providence has offered Ed Cooley a new contract, with significant financial upgrades for both he and his coaching staff. Rothstein is an idiot. Well, perhaps not an idiot. However, you would think that he would have better command of the language: “…for both HE and his…”. Unbelievable.

I’m missing what the issue what the tweet is? I’m no English major so how is it grammatically supposed to read? No sarcasm legit question.

DocCas86 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Should be him...trick I learned, drop his coaches...which sounds better Significant financial upgrades for he. Or Significant financial upgrades for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this phrase is used as an object in the sentence not the subject. I was saying a trick to make it clearer is to remove the other part of the object 'and his coaches' so you can focus on which is correct, he or him.

Dabulls Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Does anyone know how CSA works? Or the agency UB is using to find a new coach. Do they just put out feelers to certain people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they just put out feelers to certain people? They already have a lot of the legwork done identifying potential candidates that fit a criteria, do background checks, etc. They can have all the off the record conversations that aren’t subject to state open records requests, especially if someone is a sitting head coach and doesn’t want it known they’re exploring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect us to grab any 4-5 stars but… Washington will have to have some great recruiting ties If he is the choice it could happen quick since UM lost to Vanderbilt so their season is officially over.
