A TV job requires Jim to talk on game day.We have to buy out '14,'15 and '16. It could happen if Bzz spirals this year, in order to take heat off of Wellman. But the cupboard is bare for the next few years. I think he'll come back. Go 2-10. Get the record. Then leave as the all time winningest coach at WF, and get a TV job.

So if Wake beats Vandy, Grobe sets the win record for Wake. If he retires, you have to figure Lobo gets the nod as head coach. That would be what I'd consider a doomsday scenario.
Think you have to root for Grobe to decide he's in for 3 more years - enough time to make it through a rebuilding year or two before being competitive. But to do so hopefully they'll gut the coaching staff with a big focus on recruiting.

Gut feeling is that Grobe retires after the game against Vandy...record or no record. My only fear is that he will strongly encourage Wellman to take care of his staff by naming Lobo our new HC. Maybe Lobo will make a better HC than OC, but I really don't want us to have to find out. If Grobe goes, I would prefer that we bring in a whole new staff. Just don't see Wellman having the stones to do that.
- I'd be really, really surprised. It was also would force a referendum on wellman so really it's everyone's best interest to keep their heads in the sand. Wellman gets paid. Grobo gets paid. Bz keeps getting paid. Good times.
- he's got to know we're going to be dogshit next year. On the odd chance he does retire setting Lobo up to be HC would be about the worst thing he could do to him
I doubt Lobo would see being named the head coach at Wake Forest as "cruel."
Best possible scenario for him. Not to mention the leash new coaches get at Wake has to be among the longest at any program in the country.
