I hated when Johnson hired Roof as DC. Knew it was a disaster. BUT......
Ted's record against uga as a player and DC is .500 IIRC. I don't know how he does it, but somehow he brings the magic to GT against uga. The losses are even close. We need to hire him just to stand on the sideline.
Damn I loved watching him play. In 1985, if he's not hurt against Western Carolina (Western Carolina!!!), we beat Bo Jackson and Auburn the next week in ATL. Maybe the most miserable I have ever been after a game was at Tennessee. I think Ted had 25+ tackles in that game, and UT kicked a 55 yd FG very late in the 4th to get the 6-6 tie. We were about three plays away from being undefeated, and this was after all the miserable years of the early 80's.
That team broke a long losing streak to Duke in Durham, broke uga's heart in ATL, beat a good Michigan State team in the bowl without our starting QB, and shut out UNC. Screw Barry Word and George Welsh. 1990 was sweet revenge.
Yes, I can hold a grudge for decades.
