Ewing is definitely smarter than you guys. He’s able to have you spend your time discussing his salary. No real man who has a successful career waste his time discussing another man money or job security on a daily basis unless he has no life whatsoever. So then what do YOU do on HoyaTalk?

I don't know....maybe discuss the upcoming season. Maybe wait to see how things turn out before considering it a failure. On your job do you only talk about the negative? All day. Over and over? Not even new negative things. The same negative issue over and over.🤷🏾♂️ I get 9797. He isn't a GTown fan. He's a infiltrator/troll whose only purpose is to make our life miserable on this site but others have followed his lead. I understand that things have been bad but isn't the definition of fan to be hopeful of better results? Ewing has done everything possible to put a better product on the court except resign. We know that's not happening. So as fans we should be in watch and see mode...imo

And what Ewing is doing is bringing disgrace on the school and making it a worse place. This APR thing should be the last straw but I guess it will be excused away like everything else he does. The only productive thing he can do now is resign but we know that’s not happening.

No idea if the hiring of Baldwin will pay off, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. There is talent on the roster so let’s see what the staff can do about moulding this players.
But to me, not hiring another local coach with deep connections in the DMV, is a mistake.

But to me, not hiring another local coach with deep connections in the DMV, is a mistake. The only thing I can think of is that no one who fits the needs (defensive system coach, DC area recruiter) wants to say yes to this job because the writing is already on the wall. It'll take 2-3 years for the extension to burn off, but the writing is on the wall. He's a body on the Coaching staff, but we're demoting the most successful coach on staff for the least successful (Orr .500, Nickelberry .378 but if you include his women's coaching record it bumps to .409, Baldwin .383, Ewing .447).

TC, I think Nolan has a point when he tweeted (previously attached here): “There was always going to be a limited amount of contacts they felt comfortable bringing in. I guess he was one. Shrug. They'll go down together or save it, who knows.“ By “they”, he means Pat, Ronny and the family business.

That can't be "the only thing" you can think of, can it? Maybe it's the only thing you can think of that fits your agenda, perhaps? But you thinking can't be so limited that it's the only possibility you can actually imagine.

This program has very clear and specific needs (defense, recruiting - specifically local recruiting) and this hire doesn't address either. I don't really buy the "we're an insular mess and we won't hire from outside" argument since they hired Nickelberry, played footsy under the table with Jordan Brooks, and were involved with any number of others like Straughn.

I really know little about Patrick Baldwin other than the top-line stuff. Is there anybody more familiar with his whole career who might be able to provide insight as to what he might bring to the staff? Will he recruit the midwest? Something else?
And speaking of Jordan Brooks, did he end up anywhere else? His Twitter still lists Xavier.

"I'm so excited to be part of the Hoya family. When you think of Georgetown, you think of Coach John Thompson, the tradition and the history and that was one of the reasons it is so appealing to me. To be a part of Coach Ewing's staff - knowing him as a Hall of Famer and a legend, but more importantly, what this program means to him - it makes you want to work just as hard to do some great things in the BIG EAST." - Assistant Coach Pat Baldwin

Thanks for the imported snark, as if we don't have enough homegrown snark as it is.

Well, the Hoyas did not get Patrick Jr. but the Dubs did. 7'2" wingspan he will fit nicely with the youth there.
