Jim Grobe to Arkansas

Arkansas trustees are prepared to give their blessing to hire Jim Grobe, head coach at Wake Forest currently.

This hire comes out of nowhere, and proves that even though we think we know what's going on, we have no effing idea. A longtime ACC guy and a UVA alum, one must wonder if Al Groh is just keeping his seat warm, however.

The book on Grobe is that he had nothing to work with at Wake, with academic restrictions abound and no tradition to feed incoming recruits. But his players played harder than any other in the conference several coaches were apt to say. He can get talent at Arkansas.
