maybe the dookies will win one for Roofy on his way out!

11/22/2007 10:09:54 PM

who are they gonna get

11/22/2007 10:11:57 PM

Butch Davis AND Chuck AND Les Miles

11/22/2007 10:12:43 PM

If they think Roof the sole problem then they need to reevaluate their outlook on Duke athletics.

11/22/2007 10:13:51 PM

they will promote the assistant

and suck for 4 more years

11/22/2007 10:16:41 PM

^^ its not a sole problem, its a SOUL problem they have their... too many white new yawkers

11/22/2007 10:19:33 PM

If Duke wins one for the Roofer against UNC I hope that BD and the BOT feel like ass clowns for giving Davis that totally undeserved raise. Either way it is a lose-lose situation for both schools.

11/22/2007 10:25:47 PM

lol. GO DUKIES.

ha, and carolina is -14. I hope duke beats them by 50.

GO DUKE

11/22/2007 10:28:52 PM

why bother firing him? Why can't Duke accept that they will never be good at football, and just let whatever coach they have do his (mediocre) job?

11/22/2007 11:13:02 PM

duke can and will get better.

1. they have money.

2. they have regcognition.

3. if they commit to fb, they will improve.

4. they will never be vanderbilt

11/22/2007 11:32:26 PM

They need to right the sinking ship that is Duke basketball first if you ask me.

11/23/2007 12:34:14 AM

the sinking ship that just beat marquette last night?

11/23/2007 12:55:02 AM

i can lead the team to one win a year (tops) like roofie did (and like the next coach will) for a fraction of the price

11/23/2007 1:02:33 AM

they should let let hte players coach themseleves, i m sure with all the talent at duke, they can figure out a couple plays that actually work

11/23/2007 2:52:39 AM

theres no excuse for being THAT bad. notre dame is academic. wake forest is small, and kind of academic. don't see them losing always. roof was a no name coach.

11/23/2007 2:57:15 AM

who gives a shit who will be their next coach? duke sucks at football...

11/23/2007 2:58:20 AM

maybe they will shell out a couple million for a real football coach.....

11/23/2007 4:52:48 AM

according to a SI article, ted roof told supporters that Duke could be bowl eligible in 08......

See Wake Forest......even smaller school with almost as good of academics.

There is no excuse for Duke.

Wallace Wade is the worst fucking excuse for a stadium I have ever seen.

Until they get facilities that are comparable with the rest of the ACC, they're gonna suck. Bottom line. Noone wants to go there.

well, okay, not noone, but how many recruits rated at 4* or above have come through in the past 5 years?

actually the answer is 3 4* recruits, which is higher than I thought. And this years class is a little more solid than their previous 3. But still, my point remains, you aren't going to get top-tier players with facilities like those at Duke, not on a consistent basis at any rate.

56th best class, so i wouldn't say no one wants to go there....and they are dogshit now, with a decent coach i could see it getting better

11/23/2007 11:50:26 AM

it is a self perpetuating cycle

11/23/2007 4:55:03 PM

Until the student body and administration treat football like a big time sport, it will always suck.

11/23/2007 7:17:54 PM

roof aint the problem. Sux hes getting the boot.

11/23/2007 10:27:32 PM

so who are the candidates?

11/24/2007 5:41:58 PM

me

11/24/2007 5:45:45 PM

jesus, he needs to be fired

they had 2 timeouts and chose to not use one with 30 seconds left and instead just take a 40yd field goal knowing you cant kick field goals?

11/24/2007 6:43:11 PM

this is why duke is duke

11/24/2007 6:47:22 PM

unreal duke can't make fgs. it seems like thats the one part of the game they would be able to execute. what a joke.

11/24/2007 6:47:55 PM

lol. you'd swear the holes just won a damn championship with all the fireworks.

11/24/2007 6:48:44 PM

fireworks, seriously? why are they so happy

11/24/2007 6:49:09 PM

i dont understand why they didnt fire him after the winless season...why wait until now?

11/24/2007 7:11:03 PM

^they beat their rival. don't play dumb because they aren't as happy when they beat us.
