The Bodda Getta

I didn't see Roof miss a single tackle. I didn't see Roof blow one single assignment. I didn't see Roof let their best receiver run free all day.
Bottom line is these players are young, and better grow up in a hurry and man up, or it's going to be a long year. There were some bonehead plays out there today.

your comment is dumb. Clemson is juat as young as we were they had 43 freshman. Dyer could have controlled that game.

I don't think Roof is a bad coach.....that's COACH and not coordinator. He has proven to be over his head trying to design an SEC defense and then scheme to counter what the offense is doing. Absolutely CLUELESS! I think the change must be made now....tonight.....and I think it can be done so that it's not detrimental to the team. Here goes: Coach Chizik has to immediately take over the defense as the coordinator, and we all know he can get it done. He made his bones that way. He needs to meet with Roof and offer him the position of 'Linebackers coach'(supposedly, Roof is coaching LBs already so from a continuity standpoint that would be good). Now, if there is some reason (or his ego) that he won't agree to it then he needs to 'hit the bricks'. I believe Chizik could revamp that unit and help put them in situations where they would at least have a chance to be successful, and because of where we are in the schedule we could put an entirely "new" unit on the field by October 1st at South Carolina. After all......what do we have to lose? I'm 44 years old and I seriously cannot recall a 2-3 year stretch where our defense was this bad, unless it was the mid 70's near the end for Shug or late 70's under Doug Barfield. And even though it might sound rash to make this move after only the third game of the year, we simply cannot continue on the road we're on and wait to make the move after the season's end.
There are still nine(9) games left to play......at a minimum....so there is still a very good chance we could turn things around and begin to play real 'Auburn DEFENSE' before traveling to LSU on 10/22. If we do not make a dramatic turnaround by then we will not only be thoroughly beaten in front of a national ESPN TV audience, but we'll get embarrassed. So, come on coach Chiz.....you know what has to be done.

Coaching is like teaching. If at the end of the day 50% of the class fails, you didn't coach/teach right. You can't climb on your pedestal and blame it on the students/players.

#2 was completely uncovered on his last touchdown. (Which was a 3rd down, of course). We completely ignored him after he had beaten us on 3rd down several times before. Our defensive strategy was Ill conceived and unresponsive. Roof did not even give our kids to male plays. We are not talking about a "bad game" we are talking about 600 yards against an ACC team. We can find somebody better.
