Bill Curry spews forth

Bill Curry sounds off about his view of the shabby treatment given to Ted Roof before he left GT.

"Ted's been in tough positions before, just like he was at Georgia Tech," said Curry, an ESPN analyst. "Unfortunately, my alma mater treated him very shabbily. And you can write that." - Bill Curry

Let's remember a couple of things though.

- Ted Roof played under Bill Curry, so there is some nepotism here
- I think Roof was planning on going to Notre Dame with O'Leary, then got hung out to dry
- He wanted to stay at Tech after that, but Gailey came in and built his own staff
- That's what new head coaches do - they build their own staff. They do not typically keep guys from a previous regime. Just a fact of life in the coaching ranks.
- Gailey didn't fire the guy. He offered him a job as linebacker coach. Ted just wanted more.
- Bill Curry probably feels he himself was shabbily treated, but he had the 2nd worst coaching record at Tech in the last 100 years (only Bill Lewis was worse).

Tech fans respect and appreciate Ted Roof. We all would love nothing more than to see this guy get the head coaching job at Duke and get their losing streak monkey off their backs (obviously not this week). While we will never know all the detailed "goings-on" that occurred that led to Roof's departure, even Roof says there are no hard feelings. That is just a fact of life in the coaching ranks.
