Press Conference? Starting Date?

I am surprised they have not had a press conference for the Ted Roof hire. The school has already announced it in a press release. I saw where they put in the announcement that he had to undergo a routine background check, but hopefully that is not holding things up. He needs to be out on the road this weekend representing Tech recruiting. Had anybody heard anything about this? Can he call recruits now as a representative of Tech? If he has officially resigned from PSU and not officially hire at Tech, does he have any recruiting limitations on talking to and visiting recruits?

What is happening to all of the assistant coaches?

A good point. And it is remindful that, unless I have missed it, there has been no "official" announcement that Kelly is leaving. Is something going or are those folks in "public affairs" just screwing up? Is Kelly gone? Is Roof here? When is the night train to Baltimore?

Could all of this just be rumors they floated out there to see what the fans reaction would be??????? After the dust settled, do you think Roof passed????

Don't know if you announce one of your coaches left, but Kelly signed a contract with the Criminoles. I remember reading the Roof hire has to go through some formalities before GT can officially announce....

I think it is a "public affairs" problem. The Rivals website for Penn State had threads about Roof leaving for GT. The Rivals website for FSU had threads about Kelly leaving GT to come to FSU.

The sooner Roof gets here the better so he can help "his def turf" in recruiting.It might be a good idea to do that as I heard it might have been a problem........hmmmm

Someone should peg Ken Siguera about it. He seems sincere in his attempts to get the story. I'll bet he would provide some insight.

Go JACKETS! THWG!
