KATV is reporting that Wake Forest Head Coach Jim Grobe has been hired as the new Head Coach of the Razorbacks. Harry King is also reporting the same.
Grobe has a 45-39 record at Wake Forest, including an 11-3 Orange Bowl team last year and 8-4 team this year headed for the Meineke Bowl. Following last year, he signed an extension through 2016 for what was believed to be about $1.1 million per year.

This piece of an article dated from Nov. 20th by the Sporting News’ Tom Dienhart is encouraging…
Is there a better coach in America than Wake Forest’s Jim Grobe? Of course not. The guy is a genuine genius. He will be a man in demand, as he was after last season. But I know this for a fact: Grobe won’t leave Wake to rebuild another program. He is content with his fiefdom in Winston-Salem. But he might consider a job at a school that is set up for big-time success.
