The program was already well established despite Homer Drew's last few years after stepping down for a year. It wasn't a mess, and I agree Ohio wasn't a mess either. Groce wasn't just hired for his record though.
I've stopped with the Groce and Bryce comparison mostly because it's pointless. I wouldn't mind taking a look at him but I don't think it would be the best idea to take another chance on a low-mid major coach. Whitman should be able to find better quality candidates if he decides to let Groce go. Bryce Drew shouldn't be any respectable high major's number 1 candidate. At least not at this point in his career.
His brother with a far less impressive track record(at the time) turned around a disaster at Baylor. I'm all on board for A Miller or Marshall but Drew should be on the shortlist. And I don't know about you but part of the reason I like Drew is because I've made a point of watching all their games and I love how they play. I believe they are on ESPN or ESPN2 against St Mary's tonight.
