And there was much rejoicing in Winston-Salem.
Honestly, I don't what Grobe was thinking in even considering the Razorbacks. Hefty raise notwithstanding, the Hawgs have a Nutty (pun intended) fanbase and it's asking too much to expect them to keep pace in the SEC against the likes of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama and Auburn.
Glad you came to your senses, coach.

Get Me Off This Crazy Thing
The coaching carousel as it relates to the ACC is starting to careen out of control. To wit...
---From seemingly out of nowhere, Jim Grobe appears headed for Arkansas. His name popped up in Razorback circles on Tuesday and the rest is supposedly history. Big loss for the ACC, huge get for the SEC if this plays out. Still...Arkansas?
---Speaking of Arkansas, Tommy Bowden deftly used them in order to secure yet another contract extension at Clemson. This might have been the least appealing result for Tiger faithful.
---Bobby Bowden has reportedly agreed to a one-year extension on his contract that ends next month. FSU OC Jimbo Fisher, who's name has popped up for various head coaching vacancies, will reportedly get a raise into the upper six-figures and will be named as Bobby's successor, whenever the Old Man decides to hang it up...which looks to be sooner rather than later.
---Georgia Tech and Paul Johnson need to poop or get off the pot. It appears that the job is Johnson's if he wants it, if he turns down a bigger payday at SMU of all places. Interim coach and DC Jon Tenuta appears to be the backup choice for the Jackets, with Georgia Southern's Chris Hatcher possibly still in the mix.
---Chan Gailey (ugh), Paul Johnson, Steve Logan, Skip Holtz, and David Cutcliffe are the prominent names involved with the Duke job. Whether Logan, Holtz and Cutcliffe are just parlaying the Devils' interest into a raise at their current gigs is anyone's guess. Grambling's Rod Broadway is being mentioned as a candidate as well.
---And if Grobe does in fact leave the Demon Deacons, Paul Johnson probably has yet another decision to make.
Michigan or Nebraska, I'd understand. But Arkansas? That's Nutty.

Wake Forest: ACC Football Champions
Now there's a headline I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
Congrats to the Demon Deacons, and especially to Jim Grobe. He committed himself totally to the Wake football program, and the university in turn committed to him. Wake found themselves a gem of a coach, and I wouldn't be surprised to see these Deacons back in another ACC Championship Game very soon.
Now go out and win the Orange Bowl.
In case you've just snapped out of a long coma--yes, this post and photo are genuine. Seriously. None of that photoshop nonsense here.
