Roof

[CHE90]

Roof's coaching style at the end of halfs and games was that ridiculous prevent that never prevented anything. I thought I heard CPJ complain about it repeatedly, yet Roof almost never changed it. Cost us 3 points today and sucked the energy out of the stadium and I think CPJ thinks that sort of stuff is a big deal, especially if he has told the guy to cut it out. (Speculation on my part.)

It's the same **** 3 DC's later. At some point CPJ needs to suffer the consequences.

You know what WR's main job is to get open and catch passes? I thought that was their primary responsibility.

In our offense, receivers must be able to and willing to block also. And that combination is highly prized by NFL scouts.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

How do you establish this without having a semblance of a passing game?

Look Malzahn realized you have to adapt and the results looking real good right now. Maybe just maybe, CPJ could do the same.

Well, you got to have the right QB first, and sadly TaQuon is not that man.

Not in an option based offense. But it is in my 11 yr old son’s flag football offense. In fact, they never block. I’ll shoot you a PM with their game schedule if you want. No blocking... it’s awesome!

 

[TheTechGuy]

How about not having a passing game for 10 seasons now.

Lol not even close to true. Amazing the amount of hyperbole that’s being thrown around this Board.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Since we're talking about defense, I figured I may ask this question I was thinking about earlier today. Who is our best defender? Personally I can't say anyone stood out this year as a great player. AJ is supposed to be our best but besides the UNC game I didn't hear his name too often, unfortunately.

Just because you don't hear his name doesn't mean he's not doing his thing. He was in on a helluva lot of successful tackles today, although few and far between.

 

[Gray Fox]

He had "more talent" at Auburn, and yet the Auburn fans hated him.

Well, true, their defense was horrible in his last year. However the year before (BCS champions) they were one of the best in the SEC. They also held high-octane Oregon to very few points.

 

[tech_wreck47]

His last year was fairly bad at Auburn but the other 2 were top 20 efforts I'm almost certain. His defense at Penn St was also pretty good.

in 2008 before he took over at Auburn their D was 33rd in D efficiency, his first year was in 2009, they were 49th in D efficiency then 35th in 2010 and in 2011 90th. Penn state was ranked 7th in D efficiency the year before Roof got there and then 18th when he took over. Keep in mind at Penn State these were players that were already good and had been coached up by someone else. I like Roof but imo he hasn't done much at other places. His system works well when you have players like Bama has, we just don't have that at GT.

 

[H-Wade]

Cory

Yeah I think he was the most consistent for us this season even though he was nicked up a few times. I guess my point was we don't really have anyone that stands out like we used to with Burnett, Morgan, Attouchu, etc. We need those big time guys in order to have a successful D. I'm hoping some of our young guys like the Swillings can step up.

If he had been allowed to hire his first choices I would agree, but that's not the case. That's not on CPJ.

1. Not in this offense
2. Our WR's have been wide open all year

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

Who does CPJ throw under the bus?

After the game presser today he did so with a WR and/or QB or RB.

What did he say? And were names actually used? J/W to what extent.

 

[ATL1]

Lol not even close to true. Amazing the amount of hyperbole that’s being thrown around this Board.

O.K. Give me a 1000 yard receiver not names Thomas. How about a QB that passed for 3000 yards. How many wr's have had a 100 yard game? How many QB' have had a 300 yard game or even a game with over 250 yards passing.

You right, pretty much what this offense is, middle school.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

How many O coordinators has Saban had?

IDK, but at least 2 left to become a HC, and another left for the NFL, and another left to go to Michigan. Big difference than having hired & fired all of them because of HC shortcomings.

 

[ATL1]

1. Not in this offense
2. Our WR's have been wide open all year

Allergic to the forward pass. 3rd and 15 still doing play action drop backs.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

its the same O we had in ‘14.

 

[Jacketman1]

Have we stopped a team on the last drive of a half all year???? When we scored towards the end of the first half, I knew we were going to give up some points.

 

[CHE90]

Can't say I'm shocked. Roof does not bring anything to the table. He is a has been. GT needs a young energetic DC that can bring the heat and fire up the defense. I felt that Roof's lackadaisical attitude showed on the field plenty of times.

Why do you think another DC under CPJ will be any different than the past 3?
