[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1410041, member: 527609"] There appear to be seven seasons in the sample that are a -7 or worse. We have 3, Indiana has 2, and Ohio State and Nebraska have 1 each. It's The Year That Got Weber Fired, The Year That Got Groce Fired, The Year That Got Crean Fired, The Year That Got Matta Fired, our injury-ravaged year (where we still should have been better than we were), the year at Nebraska where James Palmer and Isaac Copeland were sitting out as transfers, and the Tom Crean year previously mentioned. The Groce vs. Miles example seems instructive. Both schools had a season where they just didn't have access to a bunch of their best players, and for that reason a well-liked coach on the hot seat was given a reprieve for the next year. That next year both teams had all of their guys and had good luck with health, they both really got to play with a full deck of experienced players. Miles' Nebraska bounced back from 6-12 to 13-5. Groce's Illinois bounced back from 5-13 to 8-10. [/QUOTE]
