you don't think the Vandy coach would leave to take the Wake job if offered?
Wake to Arkansas is a move up, not because of conference, but because of program and the commitment from the administration to the program

I am pretty sure Bob meant it is a joke!

Nope, Vandy -> Wake would be a lateral move at best.
Wake -> Arky is about like a coach going from Hurley to Ervinton.

Think so? With all the backing and support they get at Arkansas? Not to mention academics are not a priority at Arkansas like they are at Wake Forest? I mean Wake Forest football was totally crap until Grobe got there.
Wake? the team who won the ACC title...would be a lateral move from Vandy to Wake....haha ok, no more sports talk with Bob

Winning the ACC title in foosball is about like winning the LPD in basketball.

Well, man I would sort of agree with Bob on this. Both are big time education facilities, and football is not the key sport to either school. True, you have a better chance of winning a conference title at Wake, but you still have the chance to have better teams at Vandy, or really the same teams. Its really a lateral move IMO as well.

Arkansas is a big time academic facilty? Really? Do you by chance know the graduation rate at Arkansas for football? Wake Forest's is 96% in 2006 and for Arkansas it is 55% in 2006.
Now for ALL athletics the graduation rate for Wake Forest is 94% and Arkansas is 60%.
Arkansas is not and academics first school
