Former head coach Ted Roof has been named linebackers coach at Louisville.
Roof was fired Nov. 26 after a 6-45 tenure at Duke from 2003-07. The Blue Devils won just one game in his final two seasons in Durham.
Roof's background as an assistant is on the defensive side of the ball. He was the Blue Devils' defensive coordinator before replacing Carl Franks as head coach midway through the 2003 season.
Roof last served as a linebackers coach in 1998 at Georgia Tech before being promoted to defensive coordinator for the next three seasons. Roof is part of an overhaul of the defensive staff by head coach Steve Kragthorpe. The Cardinals finished a disappointing 6-6 and out of the postseason a year after winning the Orange Bowl. Louisville has also tabbed Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English to the same position.
