[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 93374, member: 216"] I think you make some good points in this post and may be ultimately right. But, it gets really hard to get the right answer when you're dealing with multiple variables (in math as in life). Is it the players or is it the coach? That's often the conundrum for an AD and he should never say both. If he thinks it's the players, then he's got to try to figure out how why that's the case and whether another coach could get better players (and coach them just as well or better); if the coach isn't the problem, then to get rid of the coach would probably take the program backward rather than forward. If he thinks it's the coach, then change him. I've seen an AD (in college basketball) bring in a new coach and that coach then proceeded to get rid of all of the players except a couple and bring in a bunch of players from their old team. To me that's wrong. If the problem is the coach, why get rid of the players too? That coach then went on to create an absolute dumpster fire, whereas before the program had been decent/good. To summarize, if we had better players back then, then there's really no way to know whether the problem is the players or the coach unless you just see ineptness with your own eyes. We can't evaluate that because we're not seeing the defensive coaching. CPJ can see it, and I don't think he sees Roof the same way he saw Wommack and Groh. There's no doubt in my mind we have one of the worst DL's in college football personnel wise right now, and I know the reason for that ... we saw it this off-season ... that isn't coaching. So, it makes it harder for me to accurately criticize the defensive coaching when I know they inherited a major personnel issue. That's too many variables to get the right answer for me. I do think Roof will improve the defense over the next 2 years because I've seen him do better when he has something to work with. But, I will say that I'm with you on missing the creativity in Tenuta's scheme and the way that it can make up for some talent issues we will face at GT. So, to me, the jury is still out on Roof, and I'm not ready to say one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
