Massive upgrade from Chris Mack.

Move makes complete sense for Groce.

I'm assuming Akron goes with Ford.

How about a non-con Convo tourney with OU, UA, Stony Brook and CoC? Fran Fraschilla can all the games & Allie LaForce on color?

There's Only One OU and it ain't in Norman

I know this much, having Groce out of the league reopens the door for the top. Who takes it? Who knows, but it is ripe for the picking.

Jeff should do whatever he can to schedule a home and home with College of Charleston.

Ford deserves a HC job at this point if he wants it. A wild outlier could be a Bobby Hurley return to the MAC.

It's really interesting that Charleston has dipped its bucket into the Xavier well three straight times with their coaching decisions.

It's like going back in time on the Akron board as they're all clamoring for Dustin Ford to be elevated to head coach after John Groce leaves. Oh how the turntables...

My shortlist at Akron has to include Bobby Hurley. Makes too much sense and a guy who knows the MAC pretty well. Plus given seeing how the John Groce rehab experience worked, I think Hurley has a few years to play with.

Their fans haven't looked outside of the box at all for this. The only names being mentioned are Ford and Dru Joyce III over at Duquesne. I would hate to see Hurley back at a contender in the MAC, but agree that would be a great job for him. Though, he's more of a NE guy, so if UMass ever moves on from Frank Martin...

Come on now ... Ford/Joyce to UA, Hurley to OU in 2027. And then he gets UCONN to visit the Convo in like '29 or '30.

Haven't seen where that's gone official, but if that we're to happen, would be very curious who takes the Duquesne job.

Sounds like Ford is expected to get the promotion. Good for him. If he does well it�s going to be an even bigger �what if� 14 years ago.

Simp? Hang on, let me check my notes... nope, still just a person who recognizes real talent and is willing to call it out.

If John Groce is a massive upgrade from Chris Mack, why didn�t USF hire him?

Your comment is funny. Mack's worst tenure is a Louisville where he won 64% of his games. Groce's overall winning percentages approaches 63%. Mack winning 69% at Xavier, 69% at C of C and the 64% at Louisville in most anybody's book eclipses Groce's performance.

I imagine you get a couple bucks tossed your way from Groce as his unofficial PR guy.

There is only one coach in this statement who didn't recruit "The Whiz".

I'll go with the guy who didn't recruit "The Whiz" every time.

Also Mack was handed the keys to a Rolls Royce at COC from Kelsey and did nothing with it.

This will be a fun thread to look back on three years from now comparing Groce's success at COC to Mack's success at South Florida.

Mack - yeah. He�s great.
________

Chris Mack's tenure as Louisville men�s basketball coach (2018�2022) ended due to a combination of�underperformance, NCAA investigations, and a damaging extortion scandal involving former assistant Dino Gaudio. Mack was suspended for the start of the 2021-22 season for not following university procedures, and he and the school mutually parted ways in January 2022 after a 63-36 record
