[QUOTE="Lavoisier, post: 327264, member: 831"] Football can often be boiled down to needing three basic ingredients to be a good team (great teams require a few other things like luck etc.): 1) Talent 2) Scheme 3) Fundamentals With some synergistic effects between the three: fundamentals based on talent etc. I think all Tech fans agree that Coach Roof is good at #1. I think many feel he has failed at #3 with how poor our tackling is and how our DLine gets stood up and can't generate a rush against even some pretty poor OLines. I think there are mixed feelings on point 2 which is where all the arguments come from. Some fans feel our lack of talent leads to a schematic failure while others, such as myself, feel the schematic failure (and failure of teaching fundamentals) has wasted some pretty decent talent. Someone posted in another thread all the guys we sent to the NFL from the defense the past few years so we have had talent at Tech especially compared to some other teams in the ACC. I also feel like some posters assume that if Roof and his coaches (they all share blame and should be scrutinized imo) are fired we can never find people who can recruit as well or close enough to his level. I disagree with this but it's all speculation until we try with a different coach who has the same support as the current staff has. Do we extend Roof in December or let him walk? I think we extend him at something like $800-850k/year for 3 years, but I don't think it's money well spent. I think taking a hit in recruiting for a tighter scheme and better fundamentals would be a better choice and using the difference to get good assistants that can really hammer home fundamental stuff. We hired Roof at $600k if I remember correctly which is about right for what he brings to the table. We kind of had to extend him after the OB even though it was an over pay, but I just feel like we're getting fleeced if we extend him. He has to have a legitimately good defense for me to be ok with it, I don't think merely improvement and promises that we'll be good soon is good enough for me as a fan. [/QUOTE]
