Evidently Durkin is going somewhere, because Geoff Collins is going to Florida. Durkin wouldn't be a bad option for us. I wouldn't even care if we took Collins from Florida since he has given his notice at MSU.

I posted this once before but just run with me on this idea. If we re-hire Snyder and pay him more money than we did last time, maybe he will be motivated to try harder and the defense will improve?

I like how Looch is playing the "rising star" card now with Durkin. Don't get me wrong, he could well end up being a great hire, but he's not the "homerun hire" we were promised.

You guys wonder what your missing on the premium and varsity site? This is it- genius posts like this. Everybody ante up!

What is your definition of a home run hire and how does he not fit it?

It's really quite simple, just close your eyes and think of Saban's resume as a head coach. Now reverse it... think of a DC that would fit that even half that resume... there's your home run. IMO Foster is the home run over Muschamp (by definition, don't get me wrong, not knocking WM at all), due to where he's been, the defenses he's put together with arguably less talent and been doing it longer.

You may be correct Olaf.
Anyway, he has to be an improvement over what we've had.
Plus, he is trusted enought to be HC for their bowl game.
But, check his defenses prior to Florida.
Were the top 10 defenses due to Durkin or Muschamp?
I am just asking, I haven't checked his background.

Just trying to point out that just because someone isn't named Muschamp or Foster doesn't mean they can't be a phenomenal fit.

Coached LBs at FL from 2010-2012.
Coached DEs at Stanford from 2007-2009.
Interesting write up on Durkin.

quote:Spot on. And its getting annoying b/c there's a legitimate chance that some of these guys we are looking over could do a better job than some "home run hire." Although if we get Foster that'd be great.quote:

It's time to trust in Sumlin.
He knows how important this DC hire is for him.
If it's Durkin, some will grumble for awhile.
Heck, if it's Foster, some will grumble for awhile.
But, if the Aggie defense comes around next season....everybody is happy!

Since we missed on 1a, Hyman needs to still have a very good 1c on the line in case we whiff on 1b.
Time for the candidate to either crap or get off the pot.

Durkin would be a great hire. Maybe not a home run, but definitely a bases loaded double.
I'm starting to think all this Foster talk is bullcrap. If so, Durkin is probably the next best option.

Simple question, if Durkin was great at recruiting and coaching for a Muschamp defense, why didn't Muschamp take him to Auburn with him? Muschamp took Robinson and gave him a million dollar salary.
DC to a position coach is a demotion, of course, but a raise is a raise.

i'd be satisfied with durkin at DC...and im sure he will receive a hefty raise from what he was making @ UF...
Robinson is making one mil as a DB coach at Auburn now?
Last I heard, he was still at Florida making less than a third of that.

T. Robinson must be one heck of a recruiter.
2014 Asst. coach salaries at Florida.
OC Roper $700,000

All of this speculation only goes to show Muschamp still has a wide-open checkbook for staff.
