This may prove to be true, but Hubie being let go was kind of obvious and expected. I'm not sure that in itself proves validity.

Yes. Florida, Miami market, etc. They just hired away Alabama's WBB coach.

Is USF a significant step up from Akron? I'll be surprised and disappointed if that happens.

Buckle up for the craziest coaching carousel in the history of coaching carousels. Rumor is Bill Self will be retiring. UNC and Kansas will be open in the same offseason, and it potentially doesn't end there.

I blame Castaneda.

This guy is either off his rocker and crap sticks to the wall or we're about to have the craziest coaching carousel ever.

Absolutely did not see Groce to USF being in the cards. Wow.

One year of eligibility remaining. Collected 27 total tackles and 4 sacks last year at the DII level.

Not Groce related, but that account had Hubie Davis out 4 days ago. Maybe lucky, maybe onto something. We'll probably find out tomorrow.

It's in the replies. Could just be a rando on Twitter, but he is followed by a bunch of coaches.

Link?

I only thought he'd love for home (Butler/Indy). USF is not the type of job I had on my radar at all.

Not sure who this account is or if they're reliable, but they're claiming Groce is gone.

USF lurking

UNC just canned Hubie Davis. That's going to make this even more interesting.

Not sure of the need to comment on something that hasn't even been reported is my take

If he didn't, I'm certain something would have been leaked, similar to Holtmann and Shrewsberry. Sometimes silence can be deafening.

Again, expected to be involved. Do we even have confirmation that he interviewed?

Jeff Borzello: After Thad Matta's retirement on Monday, Butler has moved quickly in its search, already conducting virtual interviews with candidates. Current Atlanta Hawks assistant and former Butler guard Ronald Nored is the perceived favorite for the job, but several mid-major coaches with Butler ties are also expected to be involved: Akron's John Groce, Miami (Ohio)'s Travis Steele and Illinois State's Ryan Pedon.

The Sun Belt has bigger names than the MAC; they probably don't have to play on Tuesdays to get a decent enough deal. While attendance itself isn't the perfect metric (and MAC attendance is hurt by the midweek stuff), the MAC had five teams (Buffalo, CMU, Ohio, Toledo, WMU) that averaged at least 15,000 fans (the latter three averaged 20,000) announced. The Sun Belt had six over 20,000 (App State, GA Southern, JMU, Marshall, Southern Miss, Troy) and one (App State) over 30,000. Your second point, however, is 100% spot on. The midweek games reduce that access for the fans locally, and that's really the last thing any of the MAC teams need.

He may very well be in the mix, but those two posts are just speculation imo

Do they help her find a school? Going for 3 in three years. 🙄

His non-answer to the ABJ + silence since then tells me he's a serious candidate.
