Not a great evening for the staff. As a matter of fact, the last half of the season was not very good. Losing 5 out of 6 is not a good way to end the season. I think the team had more talent than most realize and most of the glaring mistakes surround Lobo. Weak OL and terrible play calling. The only other place Lobo could keep his job would be as a weatherman. I know keeper and his crowd are just ecstatic we won 6 games. But we should have won at least 8, but .500 satisfies a lot of LOWF fans. Opps, we aren't .500 just .461

Which eight should we have won?

You are dillusional. I have never been negative about any any coaches except football. I think Grobe is good, but Wake deserves more than the status quo. The brigade excepts the status quo as OK because they live in the history of Wake Football. We have excellent facilities, a Florida pipeline, A large conference that requires kids from Florida to want to play in it. We no longer are LOWF. We pay our coaches top 10 money, and we get sub .500 teams with a coach that for the past 4 years has underperformed and yet is revered. Strange if not bizzarre.

Have you compared our excellent facilities to others in the conference sans Duke?
 
Stupid thread. Got the ball with plenty of time left down 6 to win. Tanner played poorly, Givens checked out, plus we were already behind talent/size wise. Fake punt worked, used Camp well, didn't get many calls. The 3rd down option call was moronic, but we forced turnovers and protected fairly well.

Coaches put us in position to win this one, we just didn't get it done. Biggest difference between Tanner and Skinner is that there's zero chance Riley goes 4 and out in that situation. Tanner started locking on receivers and making bad throws as well. The crowd was dumbfounded.

Facts:
Grobe makes top 10 money, excellent facilities, Top 2 Conference on East Coast, Florida Pipeline, .500 performance over 20 years. Sub .500 since OB appearance. Things gotta change, time to raise the bar Sunshine Brigade.

Sunshine Brigade:

Look at history Grobe is great
We are lucky to have him.
It makes sense to pay him Top 10 Money to win .500 of games.
If we did not have Grobe we would win, 3 games instead of 5 games.
Everything is dandy, Grobe is great because he is a stoic nice man
Its Lobo's fault
It's Price's and Given's fault

Sunshine Brigade's expectations for Wake Football (See image) fortunately the other Wake sports programs are not held to the same standards.

Are you saying you think Jim Grobe is one of the ten highest paid coaches in the country?

If we play in one of the top two conferences in the east doesn't it make it that much more difficult to win conference games?

Compare the history of WF in football with and without Grobe. I'll take Grobe you take all other coaches and lets see who has the better team. I'll go to war with Grobe any day.

Five bowls, three wins, (with one more bowl eligible year)... look back in WFU history and look for a better run than he has had. Really? Over react much?

Fortunately, the game was at night, so I drank all day in Palo Alto, and went back to my hotel and slept through the game.

So you are commenting on the coaching in a game you were too drunk to watch? Just fantastic
 
Besides all the other nonsense in this post, the only reason we have a Florida pipeline for talent is because of this staff it sure as heck never existed before they got here.
 
Grobe vs Harris - Sunshine Brigade?

Is their a correlation between no Harris and how the team played the last 1/2 the season. The sum of the parts greater with Harris? Is their a correlation between the team's demise and Harris's lack of carries. Is this a case of Grobe's unwillingness to compromise with Harris backfiring on him and achieving results that were not of the greater good of the team?

Hopefully, Grobe's strategy does not run off Harris, and undermine Tanner's confidence for next year.

Your assumptions are brilliant and could not agree more. I was thinking the same thing.
