[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 853346, member: 857"] Interesting read from free 247 article: “Ted is one of the most experienced coordinators and one of the best teachers in all of college football, and he's done it in some of the premier conferences in the sport—the SEC, Big Ten and ACC," Venables said. "He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience, most of which has been in the southeastern part of the country where he is very well connected. He's been a head coach, is a fabulous recruiter and is one of the most revered players in Georgia Tech history from his time as a linebacker there. We're fortunate to have a person of his stature lead our defense, and he's going to make us stronger and tougher on that side of the ball.” The connection obviously makes sense. Even from one year in the Clemson program, Roof figures to know the ins and outs of what Venables expects on the defensive side of the ball. “[B]On defense, again, I believe that it all starts up front, and you’ve got to recruit great players there and develop them,” Venables said during his introductory press conference on Monday. “Length and speed, guys that have position flexibility is ideal. It helps create additional depth. The way offenses operate you’d like to be able to, from a package standpoint, not have to get in-and-out of some packages.
