Jim Grobe to Arkansas

[kkep48]

Several news stations out here in Fayetteville just reported that the Hogs will hire Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe as their next head coach.

If so, that would be an excellent hire for them.

Arkansas News Bureau - Grobe is new Razorback coach

We'll see just how good he is. I know everyone loves him now, but watching WF since I was in high school, i've never been that impressed.

They did win the ACC title.

He's a more-with-less coach, which is exactly what most always said about Houston Nutt. Arkansas acts like they deserve a more-with-more guy. A guy that can coach without talent, but also will bring loads of talent to Fayetteville. What they don't understand is that they don't have a lot to offer. They aren't ever going to be much better than what Houston Nutt had in his good years.

Evidently Jim Grobe teams can defeat poorly coached teams that have a decided edge in talent. Expect another Arkansas victory against LSU next year.

ESPN - AD says Grobe staying at Wake, not headed to Arkansas - College Football

Or not.

What would it take, him leading WF to the Super Bowl?

Arkansas gets spurned by a basketball and a football coach in the same year!! lol:

Arkansas gets spurned by multiple basketball and a football coaches in the same year!! lol:

Fixed.

Nah - multiple coaches turned them down yes - but they didn't basically have multiple coaches say they were coming only to back out soon after that.

Because I garuntee Jim Grobe wasn't their #1 priority.

Hardly anyone gets their #1 priority - but it doesn't usually make it public. This a different situation since there were stories announced all over the place that he was coming here then it turns out he doesn't.
