Roof Out as DC

[iceeater1969]

As I've said give me somebody from the Gary Patterson tree!

Agree.
Get a good aggressive defensive teacher and in game tactician and our offense can very very good. It's our only chance against the 3-4 factories (uga, clemson, Miami, fsu), we have beat to get to a good bowl.

Woody is definitely a 180 from Ted. Super aggressive front with 4 linebackers on field and creates a lot of negative plays and turnovers. This type of D pairs perfect with our O.

Roof was not fired. He took a promotion. He's now an assistant head coach as well as co-DC. Considering the way our fans treated him, I don't blme him for bolting. This is a loss for us.

I don’t see how it’s a loss, idk how our D could have gotten any worse.

I love aggressive defensive coordinators

 

[iceeater1969]

Gotta nail this hire. Would prefer someone who has recruited to a big-time ACC/SEC program at some point

Sounds like Andy will have more stroke. Iirc He was a coach at Baylor and while there was recruiter of the year.

Roof has been fired!!!

Doesn't matter... he landed somewhere else.

And now the cycle starts over again. Expect the same things to be said this time in 4 years.

Glasgow is only 45 but such a solid resume and seems to really relate to his players

No, it’s not.

Christmas just came early for GT football.

I don't care whether or not he was fired, and honestly, I think it's in poor taste to wish he was fired instead both sides just parting ways. Doesn't matter if he was fired or not, he's no longer our DC and that's what a majority wanted.

That said, this was possibly the best outcome for both parties. CPJ wasn't happy with the defense, and Roof was not as effective as our DC. Roof didn't have to experience getting fired by his alma mater, and CPJ didn't have to fire Ted....

+1
Well said. Keeps me from having to type up basically the same comments.

Whoever next defensive coordinator is, he needs to learn a line from Jimmy Buffet’s song “Conky Tonkin” that states “ I’m just the next man you’re going to blame.”

Having said that, I will admit that I liked CTR as a person and thought the defense was improving. However, since he’s on to NC State, I’m excited and looking forward to see what the next coordinator can do, hopefully bringing some new wrinkles to the our D. THWG!

possible loss of all the Gwinnett County talen in the future????

Doesn't matter who's hired, johnson will not agree to any coach that has a stronger personality than him. Roof leaving just gives johnson a few more years to hang around.

Merry Christmas!!

Interesting ....,....never thought of that before. May be some truth to it.

If this is a discussion again in 4 years it will be for a new HC. PJ probably only has 4 years or so left coaching anyway.

Interesting Roof is willing to take a Co-DC role at NC State. We must've not wanted him at all.

 

[Techster]

Man, who's going to coach the defense in the bowl game? Oh, wait...

You're crazy if you think this wasn't because it was time for him to go (right or wrong). This is just like he wasn't fired when he left Auburn, but had a new position before he even made it to the position he left Auburn for.
