***AU vs. Clemson Game Thread***

Something has to change. Something has to change. Something has to change.

I've been saying it for three straight years.

I am NOT saying Ted Roof has to go. But this crap won't stand.

they BEAT us with freshmen and sophemores

[PigskinPat 2,579]

Is it all at Roof's feet or does the defense specialist, Coach Chizik, take some ownership in this mess? If I was the head coach and saw my player's tackling and executing poor technique like they have been doing, I think I would take a little more active role on that side of the ball.

Ole Miss aside, with this defense, not sure where we're going to find SEC wins.

I was one of the ones calling for patience with CTR. No more. This is poor coaching. 3 games into the season with the talent we have recruited, youth is no longer an excuse. I can handle losing, but playing this bad on defense is unacceptable.

I've always been one to not get into the "fire roof" argument.

But I mean, c'mon.

Get rid of him.

603 yards. Smh

[stoic-one 1,543]

Wow.

[PigskinPat 2,579]

If Roof is the problem (and I think he is to a large degree, by the way) then why hasn't Chizik put his stamp on this defense by now?

[PigskinPat 2,579]

FREAKING WOFFORD gave them a better fight than this.

TONY FRANKLIN HIS BUTT AND GET HIM OUT NOW! His coaching ability sucks. Chizik is starting to make me doubt him since he hasnt tried to take over. Roof has had 2 good games and that was the Championship game and the BCS game. Ironbowl was a nice comeback but he sucked for almost 3 quarters. Im sick and tired of this. If we're going to give up this many points no matter what, maybe we need someone who is willing to slow down some when we need it too

[TitanTiger 20,481]

I'm open to changes at defensive coordinator, but the offense shares an awful lot of blame today. Trotter seemingly can't or won't read the defensive end on the option read and keep the ball. Stupid penalties by senior offensive linemen hurting drives. Erratic throws when receivers are open. Turnovers in the redzone. Scoring only a FG since the early 2nd quarter. That cannot happen unless you have an outstanding defense. Even an ok defense will lose a game with that kind farting around.

I don't want Roof fired, I want him to man up and resign. That excuse for a defense he runs is an embarrasment. I have never seen such poor tackling and inability to stop a team on 3rd down.

Franklin is 100x the coach that Roof is, the BBQ gang sabotaged Franklin.

Roof has to go.

He won't be fired in the middle of the year. That would be worse than keeping him next year.

[PigskinPat 2,579]

That's it, my friends.

[madkat7 233]

I'm watching from Germany and I can't explain to anyone why I am so frustrated.

OK...our D is young, but do we not have some talent. 600 yards with 10 straight 3rd down conversions is terrible by any standard...and as I write, another 3rd down and long conversion.

You can't win games like this. Lucky to be 2 and 1.

Not if Chizik took over the DC role.

Anyone remember when it was 21-7?

Exactly. He's got the balance of the season to get these youngsters to show significant improvement. But I'd be looking at some resumes now. Our defense did just enough at critical moments last season, but we're just not getting better. Not to mention our offense was practically unstoppable. Our offense is still very good (but had a bad day today), but not good enough for a defense to give up a billion yards.

[JB33 1]

WTH is Clemson throwing? Good grief, don't give them another score . . .

Every week our offensse has to play perfect because our defense is so horrible. The offense has a few get out jail cards banked... 24 pts on the road should be enough to win, yet we are 14pts down. 600+ yds given up and it's the offense's share of the blame???

[stoic-one 1,543]

Ball game. Ugh.

[ShocksMyBrain 9,364]

We are bad.
