you have to bleed all the brakes when you bleed...air can get into them and cause serious spongy condition. go back and re-bleed make sure who ever is pumping doesnt release the pedal till after you tighten the bleeder screw completely...have them pump it 5 or 6 times then hold it down and when done you open the screw again..do this till no bubbles come out only straight fluid...start with pass rear then drivers rear then pass front and then drivers front....try that see what happens. after that check your vacuum tree and lines going to the brake booster to make sure your not getting a vac leak

If he had lack of vacuum you would still be able to stomp the brakes and get them to work. Chances are there is air in the lines or the brake fluid is old and has boiled before.
