December 6, 200718 yr Grobe Tapped To Lead Razorbacks FAYETTEVILLE — Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe is going to be the next football coach at the University of Arkansas and is likely to be introduced today. The board of the Razorback Foundation met briefly via conference call Wednesday evening and approved a salary supplement for Grobe, 55, who just completed his seventh season at Wake Forest University. The board of trustees members were polled and the majority backed Grobe’s hire. The contract is apparently around $2.2 million per year for five years. A coach’s salary from state funds is limited, so the foundation must agree to guarantee any other money that is promised a coach.
December 6, 200718 yr He did a nice job at Wake while he was there. Doesn't he have KY ties somehow? Grobe really doesn't but his DC Dean Hood does. I wonder if he (Coach Hood) will go or go for the head job at Wake...? Congrats Coach Grobe couldn't happen to a better, more derserving guy. :thumb:
December 6, 200718 yr I wonder if a certain poster can fill us in on how things are going over at Wake Forest right now?
December 6, 200718 yr Great Hire for Arkansas, Guess now I will have to get my "Pig Sooooooeeeeeee - Razorbacks" call tuned up! Jim Grobe is one of the finest men you will find in all of college football. Like SWHS2000, I wonder if coach Hood will go with Coach Grobe.
December 6, 200718 yr Coach Grobe has coached two of my former players. He and his staff were always very nice to our staff and seemed to be class acts. Good luck to him (except when he plays Kentucky) at Arkansas.
December 6, 200718 yr Is Grobe pulling a Les Miles? :sssh: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3143977
December 6, 200718 yr Grobe is an excellent football coach. "IF" he goes to Arkansas then they have got a good one.
December 6, 200718 yr Did not Arkansas basketball go through a similar situation last year before landing on Johnny P?
