Grobe did not get run out of town - far from it. He overstayed his utility by at least 2 years. His issue was replacing excellent coaches with inadequate ones, and tolerating a completely incompetent OC for a decade. Small wonder that no decent skill players wanted to come to Wake. Lastly, got super lazy with recruiting.
Certainly glad he was lazy enough to get Serigne, Wolford, Duke, Wendell Dunn, and Marquell Lee in 2013.
And
I agree that his patience/tolerance of bad assistant coaches is what did him in. I've stated this many times, but he lost a lot of good assistants, because they were good assistants and got better jobs. It's probably not easy asking someone to come in and be O coordinator or D coordinator at Wake Forest. and finding top talent there. I'm sure he could have tried something though. A hot offense at Elon, or Coastal, an assistant looking to move to P5. Try something, sure. I'm also on record saying I think Lobo was not as bad as people thing. But I realize that's unpopular.
