And you know, it was probably because that's what the HC wanted him to run. Imagine that, a head coach making decisions.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 3:51 pmRoof ran a 3-4 at Minnesota. Thought you might like to know that.asu7 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 1:53 pmGood afternoon!
First of all let me say that I truly appreciate all you have done for my university. You have been the best AD in our history. I have been nothing but impressed with the hires you have made. However, I do not see how Ted Roof fits our culture. To my knowledge he hasn’t even coached a 3-4 defense. Our defense was top notch this season and incredibly fun to watch. The defense is always my favorite part of the game and this year was amazing. I just don’t see how someone who was about to be fired at GaTech and who State fans are praying that he leaves will be a good fit for us.
Thanks again for all you have done! I am truly grateful and I am hoping these are just rumors and Roof is not our guy.
Thanks!

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
saw Joe Giglio on twitter had confirmed it and he covered NC State athletics for a long time

"For me, it’s always about using four downs. It is what i know. It is where I cut my teeth in football. The 4-2-5 we feel allows us match up better with skill and play with some of the route concepts and receiver skill in our league.”-Dave Doeren

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
I just hope if the Roof hire goes South, next season, Coach Drink will understand the need to cut bait after an appropriate amount of time.
We have a defensive scheme that works well; don't fix if not broken. Hopeful Roof will conform to and not blow up what we have. He's been in a number of places, and most not long. That is a red flag for me.
But, we'll see if history is proven incorrect. 7 team in 10 years. That speaks for itself.
Remain optimistic. Let's give "The Visor" room to build his staff and team.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Seems that for DJ Smith to remain, that he would have known who the DC is going to be and supported the hire. Hopefully that is a positive.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
This may have been shared already, but FWIW the PackPride contingent seem much more down on Huxtable than Roof: https://247sports.com/college/north-car ... 126902228/
That being said, none of them seem to be too beat up about it.
I'm like most on here in that I'm not sold on Roof as DC. As long as he's willing to operate out of our existing and established 3-4 scheme I'll give it a shot. I'll try not to imagine a world in which he doesn't.
Anyone have any idea on his reputation as a recruiter?

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
What if Raleigh knows he just came here to interview and they are filling in the blanks. Maybe Roof just comes in as a DA and we get Veidt from Iowa St....

Woody is available.
I am just shocked in a negative way. There are better options. I will admit so far we have had some great hires. This one is poop on a stick.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Roof is going to be DC. The guy isn’t going to take a major pay cut to come here unless he was told he was going to be fired or is looking to retire in Boone.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Me too. I mean, we got a former NFLer and FIUs associate AD to come and be our QB coach. Just bc roof has been a DC before doesn't mean he will be a DC here.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 4:22 pmI like Viedt.appstatealum wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 4:16 pmWhat if Raleigh knows he just came here to interview and they are filling in the blanks.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Should we be emailing DG? Get ahead of the hire. Until it’s confirmed, we can change things. Our wallets speak, and look what tennessee did with Schiano

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Chances that anyone in our athletic department looks at this board? I bet DG at least gets reports from here on mood etc
