You gotta be kidding me. The day the players parents run this program is the day the program is dead and buried.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 5:08 pmSome current players’ parents have the same concerns/opinions we do.... *hint hint*. I am sure a prospect who just saw UNCC hang 40+ on us would like to know that that is not acceptable up on the mountain.Rick83 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 3:33 pmYou all understand that prospective players and their families and coaches have access to this board, right? Gonzo's point about needing to be "diplomatic" is spot on. We can discuss issues without making it a personal attack on an individual. As I mentioned in another post, we don't know what was said and decided in those game planning sessions. Roof might have been told to use this game to try some different things, unless you were in the room, you don't know.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
Omg dude. Go to the store, pick up some AMB Yosef and chug it. You need to relax. I was commenting on how people were concerned about players/parents reading a message board. I just picture Sean Paytons face now everytime I see you comment. We are all being civil on here and you are being contradictory and confrontational. Specifically targeting me, which is fine. I guess I hit a nerve with you?

Re: Fire Ted Roof
I don’t get why we have to delete threads. Has our servers been compromised? No need to delete anything. It is what it is. The day our DC gets his feelings hurt over a message board thread is a day we have huge problems. Hopefully our coaches and players know what this is and our program is not dictated by what we post on a message board.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
It was sarcasm which I realize doesn’t play well sometimes, but your point about us looking bad because we were tired doesn’t hold water. Anyway on to an open week and I’m all about redemption.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 10:19 amYou can't just "take away" those scores without somehow giving us back the benefit of the possession. We very likely would have scored anyway since we did score on most possessions. Had those been sustained scores, we wouldn't have put our D back on the field and would have eaten more clock, so it might have actually been more one sided! You can't really play the "what if" games. I'm not suggesting we didn't want the points, but quick scores are a mixed blessing when the D is struggling.appbio91 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 1:02 amTake away an 87 and two special teams and we lost....mountaineerman wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 7:22 pmYeah let’s take away 58 and a 68 yard run up the middle ! It looks good now what the hell kind of post is this?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 7:19 pmSo let’s look at the numbers. Charlotte rushed for 240 yards on 41 carries. If you take away Lemays 58 yard run and Fingers 68 yard run, we held them to under 3 yards a carry. I infer from this that we don’t have a scheme problem but missed assignments. To the point made on the lack of adjustments on the slants, fair point, but you can only do so much. The game plan was probably stop the run and see if Reynolds could beat them. He played well enough to do it, with some nice dimes and he took advantage of our inexperienced corners. As a coach, you pick your poison and hope it doesn’t kill you.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
By now I’d think everyone west of I-95 knows the defense has to improve, but how long must the team apologize for a 15 point win and a 2-0 start?asu7 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 8:32 pmI don’t get why we have to delete threads.

After a while, it gets to be like that obnoxious drunk guy sitting behind you at the stadium spending the whole game yelling obscenities at the coaches and just won’t let it go. In two weeks, if there is no improvement, I’m sure we’ll revisit the topic, but for now, it’s time to accentuate the positive. Beat UNC!

Re: Fire Ted Roof
I agree ... I really think Drink will right the ship. It is fixable due to our talent. I just think we shouldn’t start deleting threads unless they violate board rules. If our D doesn’t get better then we know where to go.MAD Doctor wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:11 pmBy now I’d think everyone west of I-95 knows the defense has to improve, but how long must the team apologize for a 15 point win and a 2-0 start?asu7 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 8:32 pmI don’t get why we have to delete threads.

I think they improve. I think they are pissed off and embarrassed as they should be.
I actually am starting to think it was a good thing being exposed. Now it can be addressed before one of our bigger games. Maybe we should send concord a thank you note. They might have just saved our season.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
Quite honestly we could cut and paste this same reaction from every school thread Coach Roof has been. I hate it for us and him but it is what it is.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
That’s the thing that I think has a lot of us worried. There is a history there. He hasn’t worked for Drink yet so hopefully Drink can fix him.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
I am giving Roof a chance..... strike one....one maybe two strikes left.
Our defense was great ... make it better or go away .... that was discusting to watch.
Fix it or next coach up

I'm ok with this thread, but not the title. Can we change to "The Roof is on Fire"?

Re: Fire Ted Roof
Or for the upcoming game against UNC, I think "The Roof is the Ceiling" is appropriate.

Re: Fire Ted Roof
If you wanna call me contradictory because I’m not lighting this season or staff on fire after a win then yeah feel free. If you wanna call me confrontational cause i just don’t take what you say as gospel and offering my opinions, then yeah feel free. You’ll probably respond that you’re just telling us info from inside the program but you really haven’t offered up anything more than generalities. My goal here isn’t to be confrontational but i just don’t agree with narrative you’ve been trying to set here.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 8:22 pmOmg dude.
