I would rather have Fulmer than any former ACC coach. The ACC sucks! Go former NFL coach or keep Fulmer. I like Gruden and Cowher.

i dont understand why the writer of the article picked Grobe for us to look at. i have not heard anyone on this board even whisper the guy's name.

Honestly, despite all the pipe dreams of Gruden, Cowher, etc . . . Jim Grobe is the kind of hire that I would expect us to make.

You are probably right. Right now, he doesn't really get my juices flowing, but if we puts a winner on the field, I could get over that pretty quick.

Jim Grobe has built a solid team at Wake. Not a fly by night express performance. If he stays at Wake, he has some more soild success in front of him. As long as Skinner is there (2 more years), Grobe will have good offenses. One thing to consider in his current 6-3 recrod is the asbsence of Skinner to injury in a couple of early season losses.

We still have a shot at the SEC CG and a puncher's chance at a BCS game... I'm not happy with CPF either, but in order to get a top notch coach, we need to have him resign following the year or fire him likewise NOW

if one loss to a bad team was a sign of anything, Fulmer should be long gone. You can't pin it on one loss, especially seeing it was early in the season, WF is rebuilding, and Callahan had just inked his new contract. While Grobe wouldn't be on my shortlist, i hate saying this, but TVA is right. It is easily understandable why he would be a possibility.

Saban and Bama also lost to FSU this year. Pete Carool and USC lost to Stanford. You're right. The loss to Nebraska doesn't mean Grobe isn't a good coach. He's doing a good job with a Wake team that lost an awful lot of starters.

I'm not trying to start a Jim Grobe campaign here, but if you look at the size of Wake Forest and combine that with the academic requirements, it's amazing that he's even finishing over .500 every year.

Watson Brown is coach just down the road from me at Tenn. Tech. Their not looking to good this year with a 4-4 record with a couple of those loses being blow outs. Tech will be playing at Auburn Nov. 3.

The key note there being WB is trying to coach at TTU. A stadium void of even concessions. They only serve pizza slices at rolling carts and you can't give away season tickets. Not that WB would be anything remotely close to a serious choice for UT. He is done in the D1 major arena.

I see no need for NFL ties. Navy has beaten Dave Wannstedt's Pitt team and Charlie Weis' Notre Dame team this year with what is far and away the least amount of football talent in D-1 (including the FCS or whatever D-1AA is called now).

So if Hatvol thinks I'm bringing up Paul Johnson again, you'd better believe it.:) Everyone else can have their dream, why can't I dream about having the guy who takes his group of sub-#300 players and beats a group of top-10 and top-25 recruiting classes?

Did somebody say Paul Johnson? :) I've always liked that guy along with the current head coach at Ga Southern, Chris Hatcher. Both of those guys are going to win at major programs if an AD can ever get over bringing in the Johnson's Flexbone or Hatcher's "Hatch Attack" offense.

Are you guys saying the Buzz Peterson effect could happen with an unfavorable conclusion to the football season?

My main fear is that a change would be made simply for the sake of making a change. Until I no longer see parallels, I'll continue to point to Nebraska as exactly what may happen.

And someone could just as easily point to tOSU or Florida to counter that point.

Yes, but they would be wrong.

Ohio State simply needed someone who would go around the state of Ohio (top-5 every year in high school talent) and go "You've always wanted to be a Buckeye, right?" John Cooper was unwilling to do that, and his record against Michigan and in bowl games was atrocious. It made life in Columbus a lot more tolerable when they were tanking all sorts of winnable games.

Florida replaced a middling coach with a once-every-twenty-years offensive genius. For the rest of the country, there is no one close to his ability to continually restructure his offense not just on a year-to-year, but a game-to-game basis.

Look at what Ole Miss has done under Howlin' O or what Minnesota will do under whoever they have who isn't named Glen Mason. They made changes after one bad year (conveniently forgetting how bad the team was before said coach got there) and got burned big-time. Or look at Mississippi State under Croom....they were patient with him, recognizing how all-encompassing the culture of losing is in Starkville, and it's paying dividends.

By the way, 572 rushing yards today for Navy and 74 points scored (118 in two weeks).

And Charlie Weis had great offenses in New England and was a Super Bowl winning coordinator.

why are we even having this discussion. its not good for anyone but our opponents. we are a fairly young team and maybe we are starting to come around. WE control our destiny. lets see what happens. by the way. does anyone know where I can go to see the page the former players took out in support of Fulmer. I would love to see what it says. thanks
