[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1284065, member: 4069"] Given this last game, I am curious how Whitman can retain Groce when so many supporters will have a sour taste in their mouth about him. If you don't part with Groce after missing the NCAA 4 seasons in a row, with a contract that was set up just for this potential, when on earth would be a good time? Doing nothing isn't an option given his contract, so extending Groce should be a tough sell, and indicate JW is all-in on Groce. Let's face it, if you extend Groce after this season, you're putting YOUR job on the line for him. If he hires someone new and it doesn't work out, he could very well a pass for circumstances, and get another shot at it. Another thing that troubles me as a fan, is that if you extend a coach for having performed several seasons for being 80th in the nation, then you're saying that's where the bar is for Illinois. Personally I don't think that should be the answer. [/QUOTE]
