Terrence Edwin Roof, Jr. (born December 11, 1963 in Lawrenceville, Georgia) is the current defensive coordinator coach for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. He was the head football coach at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina from 2003 until 2007.[1]
Prior to his promotion to Head Coach at Duke, Roof had been a defensive coordinator at Duke and at the Georgia Institute of Technology. At Georgia Tech he had also been an All-American linebacker as a player.
In 2000, Roof was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award. This award is given to the nation's top assistant coach. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Alabama, from 1987-1988.
Roof was hired at Duke on December 6, 2003. He was fired from Duke on November 26, 2007, after compiling a 6-45 record and not having beaten an ACC opponent in three years.
Roof had been hired by the University of Louisville Cardinals, along with Ron English (DC), and Ken Delgado (DL), and Joe Kenn (Strength & Conditioning), but on February 21, 2008 it was announced that Roof would succeed Everett Withers as the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Golden Gophers.[2]
