Ted Roof is rejoining George O’Leary at Central Florida.
I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna miss him.

“I just think that people like Georgia football. I mean, why, when you have an opportunity, on this nice spring day to come to Athens, I know I would be dying to come if I lived anywhere in the state or in a five-hour radius. Get out of the house, get the kids out of the house, come see who the new faces are. I think some of it’s recruiting but I think people enjoy football in Georgia and want to come watch it. I’m glad they do because the impact it has on recruiting, I can’t tell you how many recruits are out there going, oh my gosh, I can’t believe it, I can’t get over it. It’s the norm here. It’s the way it should be…” — Kirby Smart, AJ-C, 4/21/18
Dang, I sure will miss him. Between him and Coach Boom, we had some good times at the Auburn games. Maybe Auburn can bring in Martinez for a little 3rd and Willie.

NOOOOOOOOO! I’d hoped he’d never leave the Plains. I guess, deep down, I knew it couldn’t last forever. Russ, good call on Willie.

I’d personally be OK with Chizik trying to run the defense himself. Not that he’d be that stupid… gotta have a scapegoat to cover his skills, which are about commensurate with a head coach of Iowa State.

Better call the bagman in to scour some JUCOs for defensive reinforcements. Doesn’t Papa Newton have a handy rolodex for just these critical occasions?

They didn’t have one. Budget cuts.

And all this time I just thought defensive coordinators were against Big XII conference rules.

Senator, a friend of mine asked a question about your blog I could not answer, but offered my speculation nonetheless. The pic on the masthead of your blog—-were James Brown and Vince Dooley friends? Do you know when, where and the circumstances of the pic?
Thanks.

Only an educated guess on my part, but I believe it’s from a presser for the release of “Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs”.

you are correct, sir. Dooley”s shirt is an unfortunate reminder of the disco era.

I have this hope that he’s still got that shirt hanging in a closet somewhere.
But I’m betting Barbara threw it away when he wasn’t looking.

I’m glad that Auburn fans are finally realizing what the rest of us did last year…that their defense just wasn’t very good and they won a national championship* solely on the back of a single JUCO mercenary.
Here’s to hoping for another regression next season for Meathead Larry Coker’s squad.
