re: Ted Roof D @ GT > Auburn's

Hard to argue this point that Roof was anything but solid at AU and people around him fugged up. Despite Luper &CO recruiting crappy DBS, LBs and Chiz putting his hands in the cookie jar, Roof was solid.

he was a bad hire from the stand point of he and Chizik were never on the same page for what they wanted to do with the defense. It was obvious from watching defenses that Roof coaches, outside of his time at Auburn, that Chizik tried to mold him and his defense into something he didn't feel comfortable with.

Roof is a good DC, not great like Tony Franklin is a good OC, not a great OC. Both were just bad fits at the time at Auburn.
