I like Ted a lot too. Very good, straightforward interview.
When I talked with the GTAA person about not renewing our season tickets, the subject came up of who I would like to see after CPJ. Ted Roof is the one for me.
What did he mean about "Roof: When we studied what we see in the off-season, 75% of snaps we see are now 11 personnel. " ? Does that mean that 75% are hurry up?? The other team lines up 11 people about 100% of the time.

11 personnel (one back, one tight end, and three receivers), 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends, and two receivers) and 21 personnel (two backs, one tight end, and two receivers).
How much has that no-huddle up-tempo style made you adjust your terminology, so that you can get calls in quicker?
Roof: When I got to Auburn (2009), we had to be able to operate with one signal and one-word calls that meant something to everybody. Last season, we could do 37 different things on one-word calls. That’s how we built it. Now we don’t carry all of those every week, but there are some basics from week to week. What you have to do is eliminate the extension check-package because of the evolution of the up-tempo style, you lose all your time for formation recognition and communication. The good news is that offenses aren’t running their whole package out of the up-tempo. They’ll go hurry up, hurry up, and then they’ll step back. That’s when you have to have the ability to check into something or check out of something. That’s where I’m spending a lot of my time on, figuring out how to marry things up.
Part of it is he "gets" GT. He knows what is takes to succeed here both on and off the field. That's huge. I'm willing to wait and see what he can do with the defense over a few years before getting behind him as the next HC, but I don't see anything you pointed out in his past as a disqualifier.I understand Ted Roof was a good linebacker at Tech, this is his second time as a defensive coordinator at Tech, and he has one term as a Head Coach. With all of this said, he has not distinguished himself as a good Defensive Coordinator or a good Head Coach. Why are some on the board so insistent on Roof becoming the next Head Coach at Georgia Tech? Since he has not shown any great skills at winning, personally, I hope we go beyond Roof and get a proven winner from another school, even if it is someone from a lower division who has proven to be effective even with less than "high star" recruits. However, I would like for the candidate to have a lot of charisma in order to be an effective recruiter.
+1I like Ted. When he answers questions, you get very specific answers, not the philosophical mumbo jumbo offered by his predecessor.
I like all of his answers.
The one disadvantage I have always seen for our defense is that our back 7 don't face a QB in practice who can really sling it like some of these potential/future NFL QB's like Murray,Thomas,Boyd,EJ Manual, Sean Renfree, Stafford, Stephen Morris, and R. Wilson. You can't practice defending throws that those caliber of players make. However, they have defended a nice crop of WR's D. Thomas, Hill, Cone, Smelter, and some good AB's in Orwin, Roddy, and Godhigh.
Another disadvantage is not going against true TE's regularly but that might not be as big of a deal.
You can't say he doesn't have winning skills: he was DC for a national champion team, and came into what may be the worst situation imaginable and turned it into a ranked defense. He's well known as a very good recruiter.I understand Ted Roof was a good linebacker at Tech, this is his second time as a defensive coordinator at Tech, and he has one term as a Head Coach.
