BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Former Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe is scheduled to interview for the UAB head coaching position in Atlanta on Friday, a source told AL.com.
Grobe, 61, led Wake Forest to the ACC Championship in 2006 and Orange Bowl, but resigned after the 2013 season. Grobe went 77-82 in 13 seasons at Wake Forest and went 33-33-1 in six seasons at Ohio University prior to that.
UAB is looking for a head coach to replace Garrick McGee, who resigned last Thursday to become the offensive coordinator at Louisville.
The Blazers were set to interview Cincinnati offensive coordinator Eddie Gran and Bethune-Cookman head coach Brian Jenkins on Thursday. Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Chris Scelfo is also on the scheduled interview list for Friday as well as Jacksonville State head coach Bill Clark.
