Do you think Clawson will be able to win at Wake Forest?

Post by Columbus Falcon »

That job is a tough gig. Grobe was hired there from Ohio University 11 seasons ago.

These were his records there:

2001 Wake Forest 6–5 3–5
2002 Wake Forest 7–6 3–5
2003 Wake Forest 5–7 3–5
2004 Wake Forest 4–7 1–7
2005 Wake Forest 4–7 3–5
2006 Wake Forest 11–3 6–2
2007 Wake Forest 9–4 5–3
2008 Wake Forest 8–5 4–4
2009 Wake Forest 5–7 3–5
2010 Wake Forest 3–9 1–7
2011 Wake Forest 6–7 5–3
2012 Wake Forest 5–7 3–5
2013 Wake Forest 4–8 2–6

He has got some work to do. However, Cutcliffe did a masterful job at Duke this year. Hope their fanbase is patient.

In the short term? No. But he was hired under the assumption it will take time to build the program to his liking, much like BG was. He's going to have to contend with Florida St., Clemson, Miami, UNC and Duke for recruiting, so his work is definitely going to be cut out for him.

Yes...he's a proven winner everywhere he's been in charge.

I always thought Grobe did a good job there...tough place to win but he competed well.

Maybe not but he will have some nice job security because 6 wins and a bowl game at wake is all they expect

As long as he doesn't play Toledo or find himself in a lot of one-score games, yes. :wink:

Good thing he played in that era. Imagine trying to fit a helment on "Peahead?"
