So with Georgetown, I think Ewing is certainly an upgrade over JTIII, but it really just seems like it will be more of the same. I guess they really couldn't get anyone better, but that's Georgetown's fault for keeping JTJr. effectively in charge. I guess they are going to have to wait for the legend to pass on, and then maybe they can lure in a big name that can restore the program to its former glory. I will be rooting for Ewing and the Hoyas though.
As for Groce, it will be interesting to see if he can have a good relationship with LeBron and if that helps his recruiting.

Rooting for coach Groce.
My sources tell me Groce will be paid in shares of Werner Ladder Co. Bonuses include free additional footage on all newly purchased ladders by Groce.

Much like most of the other posters here, I am glad for Groce. And glad he won't be recruiting against us.
Congrats to Groce and family. Parham and Ford should have a place to land now, too.
I think a little bit like Weber, the pressure of the big-time job may have gotten to him. Once he's in a lower-pressure environment where the expectations aren't in the stratosphere, he may be able to relax and just do a good job.
KSU is a lot more high pressure than Akron, and I am not sure Weber is much relaxed, especially with Frank Martin making the Final Four.
Ford's already been spotted at the I Hotel and Conference Center.
Well, no, I wouldn't say that Weber is now relaxed. Rather, I'm making the observation that both coaches may have stiffened in the limelight, something that continues to happen to Weber. I think it's a chronic, incurable thing for him.
Groce, however, is a young pup. He's got time to improve his coaching chops and make another go of it. Kinda like that Alford guy.

Happy for John. They surely couldn't have hired a harder worker and better man. I think he'll do very well. I honestly wanted him to get a year with this class, but all in all, I think things worked out best for all concerned.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
I hope Akron is ready for all the TNT that's coming their way.
Yes, his salary at Akron is deducted from the buyout.
What's the $ look like for Groce?

One of Groce's biggest problems here was that he was just plain unlucky. I think he handled the pressure pretty well considering. Wish him success in his new gig.
I have only seen the preview clip on Twitter. It seems like he agreed to be interviewed for this show? I wonder why (not that I condone his actions at Baylor).
