Thompson Leading Candidate for Georgetown Job

The Washington Post reported earlier this week that Princeton coach John Thompson III is the leading candidate to replace Craig Esherick at Georgetown and that "the job is Thompson's for the taking if he wants it."

The Post also reports that, according to Georgetown sources, Johnny Dawkins is on the list of potential candidates.

Current Hoya assistant coach (and former player) Jaren Jackson has been endorsed by several former Georgetown players, including Sam Jefferson, Kevin Braswell and Charles Smith, at a website called Hoyas4Hoyas.com.

Jeff:

Back in March I wrote about the possibility of JT III coming to Georgetown back just before the official announcement of Esherick's firing.

As I noted then, GT III's wife works at Princeton where he currenty coaches and the reports are that's she's quite happy there so it could be a tough sell to get GT out of the Ivy League. But, man it'd be great if he did and obviously he'd have one of the best advisors anyone could ask for in his pop.

Johnny Dawkins, who attended high school in the DC area, is a good choice too. He'll light a fire under the Hoyas and add a little Duke mystique to the Hoya tradition he'd resurrect if given the job.

I don't know much about Jackson, but if the players are behind him then that's something to at least consider.
