Too late... What value does Grobe bring in your scenario?
We've seen enough of Tyler Cameron and the true frosh to know the answer isn't there either. Imagine the spin if Cameron hadn't played and been a dud.
I don't think that is a fair assessment. He was thrown into a fiasco against the #2 team in the nation down 35 (?). He wasn't allowed to run the ball. That is one of his strengths, apparently. He showed a stronger arm than I expected. I think he should start against Duke.
Dabo pumps players up and recruits like a mad man. What does Grobe do in this scenario?
Dabo also coaches at a school with 40 times the alumni Wake has, 40 times the profit, at a school that's won a national championship, with a much easier academic standards. Comparing Dabo and Grobe is apples and oranges, especially when it comes to recruiting.
comparing Grobe to Franklin, Briles, or Cutcliffe is more accurate. And to date, none of them have won an conference championship. Though Baylor should this year.

Would you give Briles, Franklin or Cutcliffe a "Coach for Life" contract? Did it work for us?
If we are terrible next year and lose some solid players in the secondary we will be less attractive. The fact our 2014 class is the lowest rated class in the BCS.
Of course, if you think Grobe was a good hire, the attractiveness issue shouldn't be a problem. We got him with a much less attractive situation in Dec 2000.

Caldwell's players were more attractive looking back than anybody knew at the time. Those two arguments are distinct from each other.
Nobody knew there were three long time NFL players coming back on Caldwell's last team. Now that we know that, we can more accurately assess why Grobe was successful out of the box.
Again, make an all-Grobe offensive two deep chart and see how many players were Caldwell recruits. A lot. Calhoun's offense worked fairly well with Caldwell's players. Lobo's offense has failed with Grobe's players.
