Unlike Dickey, this one will have some actual input into the in-game actionSEC Champs said:
I've been thinking about the brilliance of this hire. I think Durkin is going to lead the Ags to a Top 20 D next year, but the stain on his HC record will make other programs hesitant from poaching him right away. Think of Greg Schiano--who's allegations from his PSU job were much more direct.--but kept him from taking the UT job. After 3 years, he was hired back to Rutgers where he had a player paralyzed but was said to have been very close and supportive of the family.
Like Dickey, Jimbo may have lined himself up with a quality coordinator for several years.
