Oh man...the leaky Roof defense. I feel bad for you guys if that happens. Man Ted Roof is like Brian Van Gorder...manages to continually fail upwards.

Roof was at GT from 2014-2018. It was an awful experience. From the type of players he liked to recruit for his defense to the inability to develop players to his terrible defensive strategies.

Vs. Miami in 2017, they had the last drive to try and win the game. Roof put his Corners 8 yards off the LOS. Richt called three straight swing passes and Roof never adjusted to a single one of them. Richt saw it and went hurry up and they got 45 yards from the same exact play in less than a minute.

Prepare to give up a score in any 2 minute situation. Roof goes complete prevent and will always give up points of some kind before the half or to allow the other team to win the game if they have the last shot.

We couldn’t stop WR screens ever. We were playing too far off of the ball and literally didn’t know how to tackle. I honestly didn’t think we’d ever field another good defense during and after his tenure.
