Some call him the gangsta of love...Some people might call you the space cowboy.

He should have been at least 2 times.
He left 2 times and the GT fan base was happy both times. Had he stayed he likely would have been fired. Is that better!That doesn't change the fact that he was never fired from GT. While I am not a fan of bringing him back to GT, it's not a good look to be spreading lies about him as reasons for not bringing him back.

We dissagee - his defenses were bad both times at GT. Tenuta was a much better DC. Gailey would not have retained him. CJP's run was ending and he knew that so he wasn't making changes as doing so within a year of resigning screws any new hires.No. It's doubtful GOL was going to fire him and CPJ was not pleased when CTR left, so him leaving just before the axe is not accurate either.
IMO, Roof and TStan are similar in a few ways: both lettered in FB at Tech, both really love Tech and are good "Tech Men", both were mediocre ( at best ) at a job they held for many years. Point being, just being a loyal Tech man does not entitle a person to hold a particular position. That reason alone cannot be the prime criteria someone is hired.We dissagee - his defenses were bad both times at GT. Tenuta was a much better DC. Gailey would not have retained him.

Are you related to TR? Do you think he was a good DC at GT?
Right or wrong, it was always my feeling that Tenuta got the lion's share of the talented players CCG's staff recruited who could have played on both sides of the ball. I never felt that was the case under CPJ.Roof's bend-don't-break defense was passive and that drove me crazy. Maybe that is what we needed to do because we didn't have the Jimmy's and Joe's to match up one-on-one and go toe-to-toe with the more talented teams we were playing. I don't know enough about defensive schemes and am not a good enough talent evaluator to know what we had. I do know that his defenses were very frustrating to watch as a fan. I love the guy to death and have no idea why he left, but I want to see an attacking defense, not a soft, flexible defense meant to slow down the opposing offense long enough for them to make a mistake.

And a superstar recruiter.I think Ted Roof is a great Tech man and representative of the Institute. I also think he is a solid defensive coordinator. I don’t think he is a good fit for the defensive coordinator job at Tech. It’s a really tough job and requires creativity. It’s too bad Bud Foster was so attached to Beamer and Blacksburg; if we could have gotten him to come work with CPJ, we would have been a terror on both sides of the ball.
As far as our current situation goes, what we need right now is someone who can clean up the defense and get it to a decent level of play. That very well could be Sherrer.
Could be Sherrer, Saturday is a big test for him.I think Ted Roof is a great Tech man and representative of the Institute. I also think he is a solid defensive coordinator.

And Efford!Could be Sherrer, Saturday is a big test for him.
And 2 of those 3 were penciled in as our toughest two opponents back in August.3 games left to prove he is worthy of the job
Philosophy changes and performance changes rarely occur at the same rate. I think we are improved as the season progresses, but I do agree our new DC has a short audition window, whether that's fair or not.3 games left to prove he is worthy of the job
Incorrect. I would welcome Ted Roof back as our defensive coordinator. Do you think the defensive guru Veneables would have hired Roof if he in his expert opinion thought Ted was hot garbage? You are entitled to your opinion but that does not make it correct.Ted Roof’s defense is underperforming at Oklahoma, under a head coach who is probably a way better defensive coordinator than Roof himself. Literally nobody wants Ted Roof to be our DC except for you, apparently… for some reason.
Charlie StrongAnybody have any names that we should be looking for that we can afford?
