Ted Roof - New DC

I'm actually pumped about this, at least he's a Tech guy and can supposedly recruit.

Here is the "spin" from Tech.....I'd like to hear comments. I love they way they mix and match the stats

This past season, Roof served as defensive coordinator under another former Georgia Tech assistant coach, Bill O'Brien. The Nittany Lions exceeded all expectations by posting an 8-4 record. Roof's defense ranked second in the Big Ten Conference in scoring defense (19.1 ppg), first in sacks (34), first in red-zone defense and third in turnover margin.





Nationally, Penn State ranked tied for first in red-zone defense, 15th in sacks, 16th in scoring defense, 23rd in rushing defense, 28th in pass efficiency defense and 29th in total defense.

Two of the Big Ten's top six tacklers were Nittany Lions - Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti. Hodges was named first team all-conference and Mauti was named the Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year.

In 2010 at Auburn, Roof's defense ranked ninth nationally in rushing defense and 16th in tackles for loss. In the BCS Championship game, the Tigers (14-0) held Oregon to 19 points - 28 points below the Ducks' season average.

Prior to coaching at Auburn, Roof spent the 2008 season as defensive coordinator at Minnesota. In just one season under Roof, the Gophers made significant improvements on defense, allowing 160 fewer passing yards and 135 fewer total yards per game compared to the previous season. Minnesota improved from 1-11 to 7-6 in 2008, capped by an appearance in the Insight Bowl.

From 2004 to 2007, Roof served as head coach at Duke after working as the Blue Devils' defensive coordinator in 2002 and 2003. He was promoted to interim head coach midway through the 2003 season after head coach Carl Franks was fired.

In 2001, the year before Roof arrive in Durham, Duke ranked 113th nationally (out of 115) in rushing defense. In Roof's first season at Duke in 2002, the Blue Devils ranked first in the ACC in that category.

Bunch of haters on this board...
