Re: Roof out
When you job is on the line, you likely care more than most. Been there. My payroll check or prospect of none, determined my allegiance for the most part, over previous loyalty. Got to put food on the table and a roof over our heads.

Re: Roof out
Frankly, I don't give a dam if we run a Wide Tackle 6 or a Split 6 (that's blow some minds, including our own) as long as we are the best at it. Let the coaches coach, the players play, and the fans just cheer. Whatever our coaches decide, I'm in 100%.

Re: Roof out
They do even more than avid fans at the moment but only while getting paid. My point is that when Ted Roof just left he won't care what App State does but we are still here and will. His love just ended because the check just ended. Say I grew up a huge Eagles fan but the Cowboys offer me a better job I would obviously go to Dallas and become a Cowboy but the minute the Eagles offer me to come I would leave to go be with the team I love. I would still not hate the Eagles because of my previous love for them. Shawn Clark actually cares more than any fan or other coach right now because he just got his dream job. For these others it is just a job and they are looking to move up.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 8:19 amI definitely believe the coaching staff and players would be at the top of the list of those who want App to win.

FYI, Roof is in for a rude awakening. He is going to Vandy who has very little talent on defense and they won what 3 games. I think we could have won 9 with their schedule. He is leaving a top 20 defense for one that will truly test how much of an impact he had on ours. We will find out if Roof still has it or just made adjustments and Gas had as much say as some of us are hearing he did.

Re: Roof out
Ted Roof earned his paycheck. He will earn it at Vandy. It seems to me that he doesn’t get all the positions he does if he isn’t highly thought of in coaching circles. Time to say thank you and wish him well. Moving on here.

Re: Roof out
That is true. I'm just talking you would think going from the SBC to SEC that you would go to a defense with more NFL talent and that is not the case. Vanderbilt will truly test if he can get the best out of the defense or if he does what is expected by any coach.ericsaid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 1:16 amRoof was the head coach at Duke...I doubt he's in for much of a rude awakening.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 11:30 pmThey do even more than avid fans at the moment but only while getting paid.

We all should agree with that instead of playing arm chair quarterback with 0 years of coaching Div I college football experience. If we knew more than the coaches, we would be coaching in their place. Some just get off on that and some say that is what message boards are for.

Re: Roof out
The defense gave up 31.8 per game last year. Not very good but not awful. Average defense. Our defense compared to the SBC was very stacked. My question would be does he improve it down to say 25-27 a game range or do they get worse or not improvement. They were abysmal on offense despite having talent. They just had awful luck at QB and were not well coached on play calling.ericsaid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:33 pmRoof is a quality coach and seems like a good guy.

That's why I said they have some talent on offense but bad luck on QB.

Re: Roof out
LOL. I don't hate them but I won't follow or really care what happens there. I know what Louisville did only because I follow D1 football and later in the year I would look to see who might be ranked that we have to compete with to move up. I don't pull for and follow even our own like Elliott, Satt, etc. I don't pull against them but what happens at their schools does not matter to me.appstatealum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:00 pmAs with any coach that comes here and leaves, unless you were an App grad or considered part of the App family, once you leave campus, you are dead to me.

Re: Roof out
He should not be dead to anyone and no coach is dead to me. I mean they could come back later on. I just don't worry about what they are doing. Yes, Satt is an alum but right now he has poached our recruits, tried and not been successful at poaching some others, offers guys we offer, etc. He is a Mountaineer by degree but right now he is 100% loyal to the Cardinal. He is no more worried about our results than Bryan Brown is. In fact, both of them probably care about the same in that they have kids on the team they coached and recruited but whether we win or lose is not their problem. Just like how he does at Louisville does not effect us in any way.DoesntEvenGoHere wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 8:12 pmSatterfield isn't dead to AppStateAlum, Drinkwitz is...Bryan Brown is...Ted Roof is...etc. etc. Satterfield is an App alum & a part of the App State family.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 7:06 pmLOL.

Re: Roof out
Vanderbilt's best defensive improvement may be with their offense, then. Can only give a defense so many opportunities. What did their defensive efficiency look like?AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 1:42 pmThe defense gave up 31.8 per game last year. Not very good but not awful. Average defense. Our defense compared to the SBC was very stacked. My question would be does he improve it down to say 25-27 a game range or do they get worse or not improvement. They were abysmal on offense despite having talent. They just had awful luck at QB and were not well coached on play calling.ericsaid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:33 pmRoof is a quality coach and seems like a good guy.

I'm just talking you would think going from the SBC to SEC that you would go to a defense with more NFL talent and that is not the case. Vanderbilt will truly test if he can get the best out of the defense or if he does what is expected by any coach.ericsaid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 1:16 amRoof was the head coach at Duke...I doubt he's in for much of a rude awakening.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 11:30 pm
They do even more than avid fans at the moment but only while getting paid. My point is that when Ted Roof just left he won't care what App State does but we are still here and will. His love just ended because the check just ended. Say I grew up a huge Eagles fan but the Cowboys offer me a better job I would obviously go to Dallas and become a Cowboy but the minute the Eagles offer me to come I would leave to go be with the team I love. I would still not hate the Eagles because of my previous love for them. Shawn Clark actually cares more than any fan or other coach right now because he just got his dream job. For these others it is just a job and they are looking to move up.
FYI, Roof is in for a rude awakening. He is going to Vandy who has very little talent on defense and they won what 3 games. I think we could have won 9 with their schedule. He is leaving a top 20 defense for one that will truly test how much of an impact he had on ours. We will find out if Roof still has it or just made adjustments and Gas had as much say as some of us are hearing he did.
Just hope his son stays at App because he looks like he could be a great player.

Re: Roof out
Def Pass EFF was 151.8 and they were #118. Very low in that end. It sounded like their front 4 was the strong part of the defense.ericsaid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:42 pmVanderbilt's best defensive improvement may be with their offense, then.

Re: Roof out
Exactly. Satterfield was a loyal Mountaineer bleeding black and gold until he was offered $6M or whatever it was. Guess it shows everybody has his/her price.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:38 pmHe should not be dead to anyone and no coach is dead to me. I mean they could come back later on.

Having said that, I hope in a decade or two he comes back as an AD or at least in the athletic administration somewhere. He knows the culture more than most.
