On now, so far Grobe is really laying blame on the administration for not stepping up and providing the support the football program needed to keep up after the Orange Bowl. He said he figured after the Orange Bowl they (the administration) would want to go back and the commitment to keep up with facilities and such wasn't there and the whole program got complacent. As much as I love Grobe, part of me says this sounds like sour grapes, but another part of me knowing how Hatch and Wellman has approached athletics the last few years, I think he's probably being pretty honest. Interesting to say the least.

Grobe got almost a brand new stadium after the OB.

Yeah, how the hell can he say the facilities were not kept up? That appears to be the only thing Ron has done right in the past 5 years.
He was fired. It's sour grapes. I mean, what do we need? Weight room and training room upgrades? (I haven't been on campus in a while). Stadium is basically new, practice fields are as good as anywhere (they look the same as UF's), film room and meeting room is new, nice facilities for coaches, most places in the South including many in the SEC do not have indoor practice facilities...what else is there?
The comments surprise me for sure, but in fairness haven't we all questioned the administration's commitment to winning since the [Redacted] hire?
Even though plan for the Tower was in place, it's something he didn't have in 2006 that he did have afterwards. That was a huge improvement and he didn't take advantage of it.
Yep, he sure has played the blame game since the press conference announcing his resignation.
I think the plan for the Tower was already in the works. It would be interesting to know exactly what type of "support" he's talking about. I've always taken Grobe as being a very honest person, so evidently there were things he felt the program needed to keep up with other programs and we didn't get it. Keep in mind that there was a lot of speculation that the thing that soured our interest in Pete Lembo, were things he was asking for to support the football program.
