Alabama paper says Ted Roof could be DC at Auburn, story posted Sunday

[BleedGopher]

One name to keep in mind is Ted Roof . He may have been in the mix a year ago when Tommy Tuberville hired Paul Rhoads. Roof makes a lot of sense on both sides. From Auburn's perspective, Roof has head-coaching and coordinator experience and is coming off a better-than-expected season at Minnesota. From his perspective, he's a native Southerner who has spent virtually his entire professional life in the South and is now in the midst of a Minnesota winter. (Note: Minnesota is a great place, just very cold.)

Yikes, I don't like this.

[HLGopher]

I am angry. We need a defensive coordinator here for longer than a year. I think we've had 10 DC's in the past 15 years.

[HLGopher]

promote Tim Cross.

[tjgesquire]

Should be announced today that he is Auburn's new DC.
that sucks.

[TheDinkytowner]

I could see that happening, but maybe not. It's a lateral move with less job security in a tougher conference. Also, doesn't Roof have kids in school? Auburn is in the middle of nowhere Alabama, so good luck with finding a top school for them.

[Gold Vision]

Are we in for another version of 2007 with new schemes? What about recruits coming in?

[DiehardGopher]

Wow....so much for hoping for a better season next year. Now not only does our team need to learn a new offense but also a new defense.....this really sucks....

[tjgesquire]

Roof will be announced at Auburn today, from what I've ready on their forums.

I guess it's nicer to lose a coach cause he was good vs. having to fire them cause they suck. But now two brand new coordinators on both sides of the ball.....that scares me a little bit. Hopefully they're being open with recruits on what is going on and don't lose any.

Roof is from the south and is used to it

:mad:Not on main press yet, but all the blogs are confirming Roof is in at Auburn....

He will be getting a hell of a raise- all the newly hired position coaches are getting $ 400,000 at Auburn, so they are estimating $550,000 for him.

this story was reported at football scoop (http://www.footballscoop.com/?cat=24), the same site that announces that spurrier was the new HC at miami two years ago.

auburn has very powerful boosters that can influence the media in birmingham pretty easily. i will believe it when i see it.

how many points did roof's D give up in his last two games 100?

[Gopher4life15]

If this is true this has been a rough day for Gopher football. The two most important coordinators leave on the same day not good. Three D coordinators in three years not good, two O-Coordinators in three years not good. WE NEED STABILITY, and people who want to be here!

[FiveStarFan]

did we honestly think he would stay around long?

[Noonan]

Bring back David Gibbs!

[Gopher4life15]

Story over on GI makes it official . . . we lose both coordinators in one day.

[FiveStarFan]

Flip Saunders teaches good defense

[dpodoll68]

The two most important coordinators leave on the same day not good.

As opposed to those other, less important coordinators?

[FiveStarFan]

any of you who think Brew hasnt seen this coming are crazy. Dunbar has been in the works for a month and Chizik has been hired for what 2-3 weeks? I'm sure Roof was contacted earlier than yesterday.

[Gopher4life15]

yes the O and D coordinators are most important.

[dpodoll68]

yes the O and D coordinators are most important.

I don't think you're getting the joke...what other coordinators are there?

[MRJ]

Well, it just figures that we're losing recruits right now...after all, we have coaches who don't even want to be here... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I guess looking for any loyalty anywhere in the football world is just stupid...Anyway, time to start over...yet again....:mad::mad:

[Gopher4life15]

LOL yes I see says the blind man :) I was thinking about other assistant coaches and such.
