Grobe Might Consider Penn State Move

The Winston-Salem Journal writer Lenox Rawlings surmises it will be very difficult for any school to pry Jim Grobe from Wake Forest. However, he believes there could be two jobs which he might seriously consider…

This is pure speculation, but two situations might intrigue Grobe. He graduated from Virginia, where Al Groh has kicked off his second straight save-the-job comeback. Penn State offers nearly everything a 56-year-old coach could want: tradition, recruiting base, title aspirations, money and the chance, established through precedent, to coach another 20 or 30 years if things work out. The potential Penn State clincher: proximity to Grobe’s native West Virginia, to Virginia and to all sorts of folks from a common culture. The potential impediment: Grobe might choose golf over football before Joe Paterno officially retires. – Winston-Salem Journal

Other names: Texas DC Will Muschamp, Southern Miss Head Coach Larry Fedora…
