Now he can get with an organization that gifts a crap about him.

The irony I was referencing had to do with the increased NIL pool and their AD saying right after the press conference that they don't want anyone who is after the NIL money.

Charleston wasn't open at the beginning of this. He was allegedly offered the USF job. Wouldn't surprise me if he got word that Mack was their backup plan, let them go in that direction unless they met an absurd asking price, and went Charleston.

Ironic since the CofC AD gave a fiery interview after the press conference and said that anybody who is chasing rhe money isn't welcome at CofC. There were reports that Utah and I believe NC State also gave John a call. Not sure how serious they were but there was interest. Fact of the matter is, John wanted Charleston. Their AD stating they didn't interview anyone else proves he knew John was a guarantee. Outside of discussing the alignment of our own administration, his decision isn't worth dissecting/wasting time on.

Only announced staff news so far has been Devan Morrow staying and Mike Allen following Groce.

Bummer. I wanted him to stay with Kent. He's such a bad PG.

That would go against what some have said.

Hardman getting a NIL agent may be the first news of a departure. I wonder if that is a sign of Ford's style preference being defense-first.

KD should've left in a way that warranted more of this type of response.

This makes sense. He played for Groce at OU.

That was our first win over Frank Martin.

CAA finished ahead of the MAC in NET according to Warren Nolan. CAA is the 15th best conference, MAC is the 17th. His pay increases pretty drastically as he hits the achievements he was hitting here. An added factor to the pay is what they can afford NIL wise, which seems to be more. Who knows what benefits he's receiving to offset the higher COL. He also might not care because he's in Charleston, SC, year round now. Who cares if he left for a mid major? Groce should not be the target of any disdain, anger, etc., in my opinion. Don't waste the energy, choose to be happy for him, and use the energy to support Ford.

Easy there. He gave us 9 great years and is leaving behind his right-hand man to man the ship at Akron. It's odd to see Groce at Charleston, but there shouldn't be any ill will. Who are we to say it's a bad career move? He looks happy - that's what matters.

The respect Groce had for Halcovage makes me empathetic for George. In regards to Buffalo - sucks. 🤷‍♂️

It's 2026. He can identify as a Kent graduate if he wants and who are we to say no? I'm team Kenni. Win that lawsuit.

LOL!

Devan Marrow is staying per Ford.

Thanks for posting. What a fun listen. Ford has the hype factor. That makes me want to run through a brick wall.

Oh was he?! Bummer I missed it. How was the interview?
