Could Virginia Tempt Jim Grobe?

This is not to say that either Grobe is anxious to leave or that the administration would like him gone. Yet, Grobe’s postgame comments Saturday sure gave the impression that at least one of the partners might secretly be looking out the corner of his eye for a pretty new temptress to come take him away and start anew. A temptress by the name of, say, Virginia – which happens to be the alma mater of one Jim Grobe. Though the Cavaliers currently have a coach, that figures to change in about four weeks when the annually embattled Al Groh is finally put out of his misery. When it happens, Virginia will have a hard time finding anyone more capable of energizing its unhappy fan base and rebuilding its slumping program than a well-spoken alumnus who has already pulled off one of the greatest reclamation projects in college football history. The only question is, would Grobe go if asked? “You never know what might happen down the road,” he said prophetically two years ago. At the time, Grobe seemed sincere enough about his desire to stay at Wake for the rest of his career. And it could still happen. But even though he was having too much fun to go anywhere else back then, he was smart enough to leave the door slightly ajar. Just in case. – Star-News
