We haven't even had Ted Roof for a month and he is being courted by the University of Minnesota for their opening at defensive coordinator. He was interviewed for the position and appears to be the front runner for the job.
Honestly, we saw this with Bobby Petrino and that just leads to the question... What good is anyone's word anymore? What good is a contract if you're not going to uphold it? If the guy wants to go to Minnesota rather that UofL, I don't have the slightest problem with that other than the fact that he made an obligation to be here and he's not sticking to it.
I really hope he stays but the chances look gloom. When you weigh them... Big Ten Defensive Coordinator -vs- Big East Linebackers Coach, of course you are going to go with Big Ten Defensive Coordinator because it wouldn't make sense not to. Plus, although Minnesota has been down these past few years, they're still a great program filled with plenty of tradition.
In short, Roof is a great coach. I really, really hope that he stays with us here. But how permanent was this coaching position anyway? I mean, the man went from being a head coach in the ACC to being a linebackers coach.
I'm sure that he wants to be a head coach again, and the closer step is as a defensive coordinator.
There, I've made my peace with you Ted. I hope that you decide to stay but if you do go, best of luck to you, and thanks for a solid month.
