The University of Louisville football program lost its Roof this week -- all the way to Minnesota.

This was not the result of a tornado, but a better offer to Cardinals linebacker coach Ted Roof, just hired Jan. 3 after stepping down as head coach at Duke.

Roof had been Duke's defensive coordinator before his promotion, and he replaces Everett Withers, who left Minnesota for North Carolina last week.

Obviously, the Louisville players won't feel too bad about this -- Roof never actually coached them. On the other hand, this now becomes another headache for head coach Steve Kragthorpe. The linebacking corps was one of the culprits in Louisville's dismal defensive performance in 2007, and the best of that group -- Lamar Myles -- left for the NFL.
