The sarcasm was noted and appreciated, it just didn’t come through in my response

I am confused--do you really like Roof, or are you just saying that to trick me?BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 4:29 pmThere is no more of a ringing endorsement for the Roof hire than UNCC fans thinking that gives them a leg up somehow.
Thanks UNCC fans!

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
This is huge, but not a surprise if Ted Roof is the actual DC. The only way the Roof hire makes sense is for the intangibles he can bring to support the staff. As I said on a previous post, my hope was that we kept Gasp and Roof acted more as a mentor--film room and game prep. All of the other hires are young up and coming guys, then you have Roof (who's defense is getting torched as I type this).

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
It's not Roof's D. It's Coach Dave Huxtable's D. Hence the "Co" before Roof's title. Pointing out the obvious.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Finley not looking nearly as good. Losing Drink clearly has had an effect. They benched Finley just to keep him from getting hurt since he has not played very well. A couple picks and mostly just hitting on short throws when the WR is wide open. The more I see the more confident I am in Drink with him being the one who will call the plays.

We know, but I'm sure he takes ownership of it too. Safeties have been getting torched too.HighPointApp wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 10:29 pmIt's not Roof's D. It's Coach Dave Huxtable's D. Hence the "Co" before Roof's title. Pointing out the obvious.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
You make a good point, Roof architected the defense that just lost 52-13. That would give me pause too.MAD Doctor wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 10:59 pm45-9Nugget49 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 9:12 pmI said I liked the hire.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Yeah still not feeling good about this Roof hire. They looked bad tonight. It is part of his D. The safeties looked like trash.
That being said we will still beat the crap out of that school on highway 49. I bet they give suitcases instead of class rings.
