Wow, I mean, 2010-2011 really has been some kind of year for Wake Forest, huh? After a solid amount of speculating, it was announced today that Wake Forest defensive coordinator Brad Lambert will take the job as the first Charlotte head football coach.
The 49ers looked at a bunch of candidates and really took their time with this search before naming Lambert their guy. In his time at Wake, Lambert has seen the Wake program go from doormat to eventual ACC Champions along with two other bowl appearances (two wins). He worked with draft picks like Aaron Curry and Stanley Arnoux, and was the defensive coordinator for three seasons.
Obviously we wish Coach Lambert the best as he tackles this new challenge. As for the Demon Deacons, the search begins to find their new defensive coordinator. Will the promote from within, or start to cast a net out to get some new blood and a new philosophy into the program? As always, we'll keep you updated.

It has to be Tim Billings in my opinion.
Coach Grobe isn’t going to bring in anybody else, and Billings has succeeded everywhere he has been (at every position).

Agreed.
There’s no way we hire outside the program, based on what Grobe has done before. Billings can do a solid job in my opinion, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Honestly...
I felt both coordinators had a bad year.
Still, I wish nothing but success for Lambert.

Have any WFU football players
been at the combine?
Marshall Williams
Only one this year. Doesn’t have a listed 40 time, 225 reps, vertical, broad jump, or 60yd shuttle time listed…yet. He did the 3-cone drill in 6.61s (top time was/is 6.42s from Maehl out of Oregon), and in the 20 yd shuttle he clocked in at 4.09s. (Boise’s Pettis did it in 3.88)
Not bad for a Safety
That isn’t exactly what you’re looking for in a next level WR. Especially when Julio Jones can torch it with a broken foot. MW is looking to take the same path as other Wake WR’s, undrafted FA. Late round if he’s lucky.
Recent 40 times...not to say you are wrong, but to point out guys that have succeeded with times like those.
Dwayne Bowe 4.51
Stevie Johnson 4.57
Mario Manningham 4.59
Kenny Britt 4.52
Austin Colie 4.55
Mo Massaquoi 4.57
Jordan Shipley 4.57

Oh absolutely
I was speaking more in the general context of helping his stock, not trying to predict any future NFL prospects.
