[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":278c0]An un-proven shithole coach probably. The most likely candidates now stand as Jim Grobe @ Wake (would be a mistake, one season does not equal Jesus), Paul Johnson @ Navy (mistake, steroid scandal + rape allegations + playins 6th tier programs does not equal Jesus), and God knows who else.[/quote:278c0]

Grobe has been building a good foundation at Wake for a few years now. I mean, he has to be doing something right, it's fucking Wake Forest for christ's sake. With that said, I understand your point, and I'd be cautious before hiring him as well. If I was a 'Bama fan, he'd probably be my last viable choice.

I didn't know Johnson was involved in steroid scandals and rape allegations. Do you have any links? I think you can be confident in his coaching abilities, however. He has gone bowling with Navy for four straight years and won back to back D1-AA titles at Georgia Southern. Remember, he might be playing "6th tier programs," but there's huge gap in talent between Navy and other schools that can actually recruit. The man can coach.

Maybe you've already read his bio, but it's worth anyother look -

Pretty damn impressive.
