Chizik comments on new DC Roof

Auburn was kind enough to confirm Ted Roof being hired as offensive coordinator a minute ago. Here's a quote from Gene Chizik about Roof:
“Ted has a wealth of experience and success as a defensive coach, and philosophically, we think alike,” Chizik said. “He is a high-energy individual who is involved in every aspect of the defense. Ted took a Minnesota defense and made dramatic improvements in his one year as defensive coordinator. It was a defense that was very physical and aggressive, and created a lot of turnovers. Being from Georgia, Ted has spent a great deal of his career coaching in the South and is very familiar with this league.”
Here's Roof's comment (honestly I think they just recycle these and change the names):
“I’m very excited to be a part of the Auburn football family and work for an individual in Coach Chizik that has had a tremendous amount of success,” Roof said. “There have been a lot of great players and coaches come through Auburn and I’m excited to become a part of the rich and storied tradition of Auburn University and its football program.”
