Yes, Cooley inherited a disaster, but with the way big schools can turn over their entire rosters in a single offseason thanks to the transfer portal, there's a reasonable expectation that rebuilds shouldn't take as long anymore. They can even happen overnight. Look at St. John's: they should have made the tournament this year after Pitino brought in a mostly new team with Dingle and Ledlum.
The point is: Cooley didn't improve at all in Year 1, selling the idea that there'd be a massive jump in Year 2. If there isn't, if Georgetown only wins 5 or 6 Big East games, the question is going to be why they're paying him the third-most money in the country to produce barely better results than Ewing did, when their rivals are turning things around much quicker. They could very well decide to cut their losses at that point, although I agree that it's more likely they'd give him at least one more year.
