Wake Forest Sports.Com has released a self-serving video showing Grobe, Lobo, Knorr and other coaches and clips of games, featuring cuts of Deacon practices. The article says that Grobe has built a successful football program: the Wake way. But he is at or near .500; 4 straight losing seasons; we cannot compete with good teams such as FSU, 52-0, Clemson, NC State, ND or even Vanderbilt with a bowl game at stake. Embarassing loses, such as in 2010, like during the Caldwell years, and going back further, such as during the Chuck Mills years.
I read in media sources that Grobe is being paid $2.2 million dollars; he told Collins in MTOW that he was satisfied, that he did not plan to change anything, that some muffed plays made the difference mainly--but how about losing 52-0. That kind of loss is Bz territory. He indicated that all the staff would be back, although he admitted that we didn't run or pass the ball well--we set the ACC record for punts with 95, I believe.
We cannot afford $2.2 million a year for a coach with 4 straight losing years; that is unconscionable. Plus the staff for the 4 year losing year. The website features Grobe holding the ACC championship trophy of 2006--why not Cal Stoll of 1970, I was here then.
The coach of capable teams which made bowls, such as San Diego St. or San Jose St. reportedly made something over $300000; another Division I coach whose team made a bowl made a somewhat similar reasonable amount. I believe the coach of N. Illinois who is going to NC State and whose team made the Orange Bowl made something over $400000. Reference was made to these coaches and salaries in this forum in another blog, I recall. A very successful Division II coach, which is called the Championship Series, such as ASU plays in, reportedly made about $250000, and I believe he had won two national championships.
We fire Coach Bz, we have one year left on his contract; we may still be paying on Gaudio's contract; then we have to pay for a new third basketball coach.
How can we pay and why are we paying so much money for mediocrity, where a .500 record is trumpeted as great success in football and we have not even had that in 4 years, but we have been paying for it.
