This move shouldn’t surprise anyone. Holloway led the Peacocks to the Elite 8 and took the country by absolute storm.
When you make a deep run with a small school that was expected to get blown out in the opening round, you’re going to generate some serious interest from big teams.
I’m not a biologist but St. Peter’s is an awesome team!

That’s exactly what happened with Holloway, and he’s now reportedly headed home to take over the Pirates. After St. Peter’s magical tournament run, I’d say there’s no doubt that he earned it.
Holloway took a team that most people had never heard of before to the Elite 8! It was a story right out of the movies. Even after losing to UNC, there’s no doubt the Peacocks carved their place into March Madness history.

Now, it’s time for their coach to go to the school he played for. This is what we love about college sports.
