Roof Is Out
I'm sure you know the news by now - that Duke football coach Ted Roof is out after 4 + seasons and a 6-43 record at Duke. We'll have more later and in tomorrow's paper. First, a couple of highlights from AD Joe Alleva's press conference.
1) Alleva said he wants to hire a coach with head coaching experience, preferrably at the I-A or FBS level.
2) To do that, Alleva said, Duke is prepared to pay its next coach significantly more than it paid Roof.
3) Duke's academic standards, however, will not be changed, according to Alleva.
4) Alleva talked a bit about future planned improvements for Wallace Wade, including a building at what is now the open end of the stadium and a scoreboard on the closed end.
Ted Roof will speak a press conference at 4:30. More then.
