Grobe Talks About Coaching Changes

In an article in today's Winston-Salem Journal coach Grobe talks about this week's coaching changes.

As was posted earlier in the week, defensive coordinator Dean Hood left to take the head coaching job at Eastern Kentucky, and QB coach Jeff Mullens took the offensive coordinator job at West Virgnia.

You can read Dan Collins' article to see what Grobe had to say about the situation (not surprisingly all good things) but the more interesting part is where he plans to go with the staff from here.

Considering the way Grobe goes about most things it isn't surprising that he's planning to promote from within to fill these two vacancies. Linebackers coach Brad Lambert is expected to be promoted to Defensive Coordinator, and former Wake QB and current fullbacks/tight ends coach Tom Elrod will become QB coach.

I think this is what most people expected to see happen, and now Grobe will go out and hire a couple of coaches to fill the rolls of those promoted. I'll keep you posted when those hires are made, although Grobe has said not to expect them until mid February after Signing Day.
