Grobe Backs Away From Arkansas Job - Well, nothing was ever signed. Jim Grobe apparently met with his players, and things became so emotional that he decided to stay at Wake Forest. He will not coach Arkansas, according to Arkansas News Bureau. Arkansas News Bureau also broke the story yesterday that Grobe had been offered the Arkansas job.
This could have happened at Nebraska just as easily. Heck, it practically did with Houston Nutt four years ago. I am certainly glad Grobe did not arrive on campus and go through an introductory press conference like Dana Altman.
The Hogs will find someone who wants to coach in the SEC. Why anyone would not is beyond me. I believe Grobe is making a bad career move, but it is his life and not mine. He might be much happier at Wake Forest, and there is nothing wrong with that. So long, Jim Grobe. We hardly knew ye.
