Will we be in need of a new sheriff in Friartown?

Providence Friars head coach Ed Cooley is scheduled to have a meeting this week with the athletic director of the Michigan Wolverines. Nick Baumgardner reported Monday that Cooley, who’s been the coach of the Friars for the last eight seasons, will meet with AD Warde Manuel sometime Monday.
