Grobe Stepping Down - Press Conference @4:15

[TBR]

you agree with the whole column? This? For that, Wake Forest and college football have lost.

We've lost in the sense that it would be great if the fairy tale had an happier ending.

As much as anything, though, that's pretty clearly the kind of throw away line you use to conclude a piece that's talking endlessly about class and dignity (a piece that completely refutes the post I quoted).

Why am I not excited at the prospect of Wellman picking Grobe's replacement? Is there a football version of [Redacted] out there ?

The return of Al Groh.

re: class and dignity, you folks realize that for anyone outside of WF his departure looks like anything but, right? folks are shaking their head about how we helped nudge him out the door.

No they aren't.

 

[marquee moon]

Why couldn't [Redacted] have this much class?

He's much younger

$$$$$$

If we soooo influential, then why is Wellman and Bzz still in business? Why would a man making 2+ million per year listen to us? 5 straight losing seasons and a bare cupboard for next year had more to do with it.

Grobe was born in February 1952
[Redacted] was born in December 1952

Buzz looks a lot younger

The wrong guy quit first today.

 

[mebanedeac]

No they aren't.

Yeah, I'm afraid they are.

 

[VaDeac]

Yeah, I'm afraid they are.

Links?

 

[wvudeac]

The wrong guy quit first today.

 

[RacerDeac]

Who are all these people shaking their heads? So far, the feedback from SEC and ACC fans I know has been "about time Wake moved on."

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Yeah, I'm afraid they are.

Go ahead and tell us who "they" are then

 

[mebanedeac]

Links?

No links. Just conversations.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

No links. Just conversations.

Then the people you are talking to are fucking morons.

 

[VaDeac]

No links. Just conversations.

So randos on the street. Not anyone who actually knows crap about crap, or has any sway over public opinion. Got it.

 

[mebanedeac]

I didn't say they were right. I explained that something had to change. But lots of people think Wake will never hire a better Coach than Jim Grobe. We will just have to prove them wrong.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Where did anybody say Wake nudged him out the door?

 

[mebanedeac]

So randos on the street. Not anyone who actually knows crap about crap, or has any sway over public opinion. Got it.

There are high school coaches who think that. And that is a perception we must change.

 

[DeacsPop]

The wrong guy quit first today.

For sure.
