Jim Grobe. Why does no one mention him as a candidate?? All he has done is turn Wake Forest (Wake #%&*%# ing Forest!!!) into a contender and a participant in more BCS bowls in the last 7 years than UT.
He has done this at a school with high academic standards.
He has done this with quality student athletes (Google Wake Forest football arrested and see what comes up. I'll save you the time....nothing. Except an article about a Wake player kicked off the team for posting something on his facebook page about "blowing up" the campus. Not actually harming anyone, getting arrested, fighting, using/selling drugs, but posting an inappropriate comment on facebook. And he was kicked off the team!!!! Bet he wishes that Wake had UT's discipline policy for football players. But I digress....)
He's done this with few if any blue chip recruits (which implies that he and the staff are COACHING them when they get there).
He's done this at Wake #%&*#ing Forest!!!!!
He's done this at a school that spent $410,000 on recruiting men's sports in 2006-2007, UT's football budget is $2 million!!!
He's done this by playing tough, smart football.
He's made Wake Forest (Wake #%&*$ing Forest!!!!) BELIEVE that they can win. Does anyone think a Fulmer coached team has ever BELIEVED that they would win a big game? Quite the opposite - they get tighter than a banjo string every time a big game rolls around (especially against the hated Gators). They WANT to win, but don't expect to win. Grobe can make Wake believe, but Phil can't do that with the talent and tradition at UT???
I know people are faithful to Phil. He brought 2 SEC championships and 1 national Championship in 16 years, and for those I'm grateful. But what else? An embarrassment to our state and University by the conduct of our players? Big game disappointments? Subpoenas at SEC media days? I think we should demand more than that.
If Jim Grobe can do what he's done at Wake, imagine what he could do in Big Orange country!!! Somebody tell me I'm crazy, or right on the money, or just plain stupid. But I think Jim is our man.
