Groh had seemingly taken himself off the hot seat by winning three in a row after starting 2009 with three straight losses. However, two straight losses have dropped the Cavaliers to 3-5 on the season and cranked up the heat yet again.
According to Littlepage, Groh will be evaluated on his full body of work -- he's 59-49 in eight-plus seasons -- and that the goal of the university is to have fan support at games.
That could prove to be a death knell for Groh's tenure. This season, average attendance has dropped by 7,000 per game.
