He hasn't done a thing. It sure looked like things were going to turn around 2012-2013, sadly that's been his best season. Like I said, it's year 4 and we aren't close to where we should be.

Funny how we can compare Weber's downfall and Groce's downfall to 2 PG's decommiting. Had Gordon came, Weber may have never been fired. That may have been the piece of 1-2 5 stars coming to Illinois every other class. Had Snider not flipped back to Louisville (they must have had better...
