It's official. Ted Roof coming back to Big Ten as DC for the Nittany Lions.
Roof was DC at Minnesota in 2008 - the last year they hit a bowl game, finishing 7-6.
You will remember Roof's defense when Rich Rodriguez and walk-on QB Nick Sheridan shredded the Gophers 29-6 in the anti-septic Metrodome.
You'll also remember him
(No subject)
Your choice Armani Reeves:
door # 1: Ted Roof.
door # 2: Greg Mattison.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Only two options.
Let''s also hope he doesn't choose door # 3, as both he and his high school teammate (both PSU commits) have received calls from ohio.
Door #3
Leads to Adam Sandler... I mean Luke Fickell.
I would have to think that
I would have to think that hiring Roof bodes well for UM.
Nobody home...
Our good friend
Mr. VH has consistently said that having UM and Ohio back on top hurts Penn St. and Sparty the most.
BSD's take
Looks like GERG comes in many forms.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.
He has just terrible, terrible gas
Reeves
I thought Reeves was just looking for a reason to stay with Penn State, that he really liked his commitment there. I don't think they've given him one. Ohio might be our bigger competition now, if he really wants to play with Williams.
Question.
LJ and the LB coach are staying where does Bradley wind up? He is a heck of a DC, Pitt?
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.
Iowa
Forgot about their DC retiring., I think you nailed it. Also SHIT he'll be in our division.

Ted has really nice hair!
I'll give him that much.

He's got potential that's for sure. If Zook and GERG take him under their wings I'm guessing he could easily have Best Hair in CFB
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
well,
I was hoping bill o brien could develop into an under-the-radar coaching prospect that would hire good assistants and keep penn state competitive. With this hire, not sure if that’s a possibility now. As Michigan fans, we want a strong PSU because outside of Wisconsin there is no one in that division to compete with ohio. But if PSU goes the way its looking like its going… who fills in the competitive balance? Illinois? Indiana? Purdue? Ugh. Not exactly the gauntlet, the leaders division.
You almost wonder if the
You almost wonder if the league will have to realign the divisions down the road. If so I hope they'll reconsider their prohibition on UM/Ohio in the same division.
Makes complete sense to me
Tom Bradley replacing Norm Parker I mean.
My goodness.
My goodness.

It's a familiar hire for O'Brien
I too question O'Brien's judgement in hiring Roof.
But given his time constraints and immense pressure from the Pats and PSU crushing him right now, I understand it.
O'Brien and Roof were on the Ga Tech between 1998-2001 (all-seasons successful and led to bowl games for the Jackets). They were hired by former Ga Tech HC and creative resume artist George O'Leary.
if the University went out and got them a Zook
They've done considerably worse than hiring a Zook.
The only thing that will save O'Brien is for Tebow to shock the world again and beat the Pats. I just cannot believe how mind-numbingly stupid it is to hire a coach who can't devote 100% of his time to recruiting between now and signing day.
And that's on top of hiring a coach with no head coaching experience whatsoever.
Happy Valley is now one big dumpster fire.

I always wondered why they were called roofies. Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call em groundies.

What's funnier than Roof's
What's funnier than Roof's defenses at Auburn is the fact that his leaving Auburn was spun by the school as a "departure" in order to work for his old mentor George O'Leary at UCF. (Roof is supposedly a super-duper-nice guy and they didn't want to stain him with the label of "fired" is the story.) I guess he learned all he needed from his mentor because his stay at UCF was positively O'Learyan.

Speaking about Iowa

I am drunk, or I wouldn't be talking to you.
The Iowa RB Hating God
just returned from his brief shopping spree in Manhattan. He's now back at his desk, having downed 18 cups of coffee, and for the first time in weeks is officially caught up on all voice- and e-mails.
The Same Ted Roof?
This is the same Ted Roof that led Duke to a glorious 6-45 stretch as a head coach in the middle of the last decade, right? If so, Penn State gets the "Meh Award" for coaching hires this year, I would think.

If O'Brien is pickled ginger, what is Ted Roof? Laxative? (He makes it real painful while he's around, but once he's gone you feel so much better).
Minnesota Game, you mean Justin Feagin game?
Wasn't that the game Justin Feagin ran the wildcat all over Minnesota?
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
from his horrific defenses at Auburn the last few years.
Congrats Penn State!
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
