After three seasons as Auburn's defensive coordinator, Ted Roof will assume the same role at Central Florida.
Well fuck! What are we gonna do now? With a real DC.
The Hammer is coming.....ok, thats old.
So, can we start our official dream list now?

The only explanation that makes sense is he was already fired behind closed doors, and Chizik protected his dignity by telling him to go ahead and start looking for a job now, and take whatever you can get.
Exactly what I'm discussing with one of my fraternity brothers right now.
Best move by Chizik.
Jarhead, remove the question mark from the thread title and replace it with an exclamation point or 7. This thread needs to become a party.
The real question is can we be taught how to tackle in three weeks time?

I can't believe you think we need to tackle gooder.
Ima gonna leave here early today and celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to be a dick, but who the fuck would want Roof period? UCF's defense is #11 in the country right now with their first year DC, and was 15th last year with the previous DC. They haven't said why they fired their DC, but if they hired Roof, it would be puzzling. Under him, a normally stout AU defense has gone to swiss cheese.
Skreets are talking about Ellis Johnson...

Roof wasn't the problem.

Roof wasn't the problem.I know you and Chizad were on the Rabble Rabble Malzahn hate train...but, the shitty defense contributed to as many loses as any bad play calling.

And if we do truly get a homerun hire, I'm definitely not saying Roof is the best in the biz, so any improvement is a good thing.

His schemes are fine. He did lack players this year. However, a defense is largely about attitude, and I think he's too laid back to really have a defense play with fire, and the loss of that personality in Rocker hurt. In general, I think Roof just isn't very aggressive. In that, he was a problem.
Can we get a petition up and send it to Rocker, begging him to return home please!?Send him a letter that says 1.5 million, AU. He will get the picture.
So, what/who is?
What about ALL 3 years? He had an avg D with Fairley, Washington, Etheredge and Bynes. WTF?
Thats what I would like to know.
This thread needs hats and cake!
I have uncontrollable wood right now.
Free handjobs in snaggle's office all day!
I don't care what or who the problem was. This D SUCKED like no other in AU history. Take Lolley's ass with you and I believe just about any corch with half a brain make this D better. Gave up 30+ in 18 of the 39 games coached. Gave it up with juniors and seniors. Gave it up with freshmen and sophomores.

No clue. I hope to see something change December 31st though...
You don't suppose it could be related to having no QB, and having 2/3s of our 74 or so scholarship players being Fr. and Soph.?

I get they were young, but fundamentally they looked like shit. And after 12 games, freshmen and sophomores should know how to fucking tackle. And that's coaching.
Lack of the ability to form tackle has nothing to do with any of that.
The true answer isn't accepted here, or really by most fans.
I would love to see Rocker come back to be the DC, but he will no more be in the running than Kevin Greene or Joe Whitt Jr.
Who is that and why do they have clothes on?
Is this more shit from the Jay G. Tate guru?
Lack of the ability to form tackle has nothing to do with any of that.I trouble have sentence forming.
What about Jeff Fisher as DC?
Sorry.
Been married for three years.

So you're at the point where you'd rather have hookers and blow?
What makes you think a married man has the money for that? Not all of us live on a lawyers salary.Shit, fuck, we poor too.

Me either; I can only afford Snaggle's tailgate hand jobs.

Haven't you heard? Bath salts are all the rage now.and goats
Haven't you heard? Bath salts are all the rage now.
Rumors swirling that the new DC is Joe Whitt Jr.
After hearing about my friends' $100k+ student loan for law school, I feel like a rich man with my student-loan-free-teacher's salary.Thanks for making me drink on a Wednesday...
From now on, December 7th will always be remembered as a date which will live in infamy.
I'm hoping Roof was the problem and not the fact that Chiz would not let Roof run his style of defense. If that is the case, it won't matter who we bring in.
Rumors swirling that the new DC is Joe Whitt Jr.
Wait...don't blow this for us, Gene.
I got $5 on this thread reaching 100 post before the day is out.
I would like to see someone with DC experience......
I'll have you babies wearing gold diapers!
What does that mean?
I'll have you babies wearing gold diapers!
Seriously though, Joe Whitt, Jr.?
Edit...okay, I Wiki'd dat bitch and I'll let him come corch defensive backs. MMkthxbai
Is JWJ just skreets or has he been announced? Let's not get too hasty, Gene. Let's think about this thing.

The same young 'uns that couldn't get into position, had their heads up their ass and gave up more yards and points than any team in Auburn history were bad ass on special teams. They knew where to be, got there and knocked the fuck out of people trying to return the ball.
They can be taught. And weren't.
I also read on another board that Auburn students talking up Bill Cowher and that he has been spotted in Auburn.
BS
As to the defense, I agree. The lack of fundamentals was very evident.
Whose job was it to teach them fundamentals?
I understand youth. I understand mistakes. But when you see the same thing over three seasons regardless of experience or age?
"They's young" just doesn't hold up.
We want the young ones to grow into the best players they can be. Wasn't going to happen the way things were going.
Good for Ted that he landed softly. Hopefully good for AU that we get a fresh perspective.
As to the fundamentals of tackling, no, "they's young" doesn't play.
I still think that besides that, which has been atrocious for 3 years, the defense as a whole reflected a very non aggressive mentality. From what I've observed of Roof, that was a reflection of his personality.
Is JWJ just skreets or has he been announced? Let's not get too hasty, Gene. Let's think about this thing.
Joe Whitt Jr. DC / DB Coach
Tommy Thigpen Assistant HC / MLB Coach (that's where he should've been to start)
Kevin Greene DE / OLB Coach
Mike Pelton DT Coach
Championship Defensive Coaching Staff to go with the Championship Offensive Coaching Staff.
You serious, Clark?That's the Defensive Staff moves that should be made. We'll probably just land Wayne Bolt or Coach Stash Dave Wannestad and call it a day.
I'm on the verge and just need confirmation for teh climax.

It's too late.That's what she said.
If you haven't got problems I feel bad for you son...I got 99 problems and a Roof ain't one!
It's too late.Okay...Mike "Mutha Fucka" Singletary. That should get it back.
I'm so happy. So many possibilities of who we can get...
On another note, do the rumors of Malzahn to Kansas hold any water that you guys know of?
I also read on another board that Auburn students talking up Bill Cowher and that he has been spotted in Auburn. BS? Who knows, probably but I found it interesting.
Why would he leave his HC position with the Gotham Rogues to be Auburn's DC?
Cause AU is the shiznit and gooder.Whatever. I heard Joe Paterno going to end his career as our cornerbacks coach. Fingers crossed.
By the way, the rumor is an example of how lunacy can overcome reality in moments of joy.

Word on da skreets....
Mark Stoops will be Auburn's DC and Thigpen will move to LBers.
Those skreetz keep talkin'.

Umm, this is for entertainment purposes only. See earlier post.
It's not all that entertaining.
