More Reports Are Confirming that John Groce Is Now the Head Coach of Akron

Two ESPN writers are quoting sources (or the same source) and making it quasi-official that John Groce is now the head coach of the Akron Zips.

With two different writers, I don’t think we will get a retraction like we did with coach Whitford taking the Dusquesne job that ended up going to coach Dambrot.

After only winning 56% of his games, and not making the NCAA tournament after his first season, John Groce was relieved of his duties at Illinois.

His team’s record was mediocre in his 5 seasons with the Illini, and their expectations are higher in Champaign.
