Stepping down. Won as many ACC titles as Dabo at Clemson

That's surprising. They haven't done well recently, but it is a tough job to win at.

Grobe is a great coach and this was a stupid decision by Wake.

This is exactly what all outsiders will say if June steps down

Reports are that he had like 4 or 5 losing seasons in a row.

Correct, four straight losing seasons. http://www.collegefootball.bz/wake-forest

The last coach to leave WF with a winning record departed in 1950 when they were members of the Southern Conference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_Fores ... s_football

Yep, except I hope we don't let him have 5 straight losing seasons before realizing something needs to be done.

I think Duke, Vandy, Stanford, Northwestern success is putting pressure on all the privates. Losing in football will not be tolerated. Wake has the money to be a power player in football.

You mean they aren't planning his statue?

Pressure on the private schools except for SMU, whose admin has no desire to be any better than mediocre as that might reflect on their academic status.

This has been coming for a while. They gave him a lot of rope to try and turn things around.

"I had certain expectations for the last two years and we didn't meet those expectations, and that's my fault," Grobe said. The longtime coach said the program needed "a new focus" and "some new energy" in order to move forward.

One of the signs of the Apocalypse is duke in the acc championship game for football.

Go Ponies!

He did win an ACC championship, and I thought beating Vandy the last game of the season would save his job.
