i said stoops was a good coach, just overrated. jim grobe is a good coach, not overrated. just my opinion, i'm not always right. eace2:

You also said you wouldn't want Stoops in Knoxville. But you'd love to have Grobe here tomorrow?

I personally have to disagree. I think Grobe is a good strategist and gameday coach but I'm not sold the guy is a good enough recruiter for UT.

He's won 5 conference titles and played in 6 BCS bowls since 2000. He has also won 83% of his conference games since 1999. Pretty good program I would say.

it would be interesting to know OU's SOS during this period

maybe not, but possibly.

That's a pretty big risk to take. Recruiting ability is an absolute must for this school.

If you want to talk about a coach/program that mirrors Bob Stoops and OU, you need to look no further than Jim Tressel and the Buckeyes.

In Grobe's defense, Wake has to have one of the lowest recruiting budgets of any D-1 team. He's does the best with what he's given.

Just based on his personality I don't think it'd be one of his better areas.

I can agree with this. Not to mention that Wake Forest isn't all that appealing to play at.

tennessee is a much easier sell than wake forest.

Tennessee requires a lot more to be successful than Wake Forest.
