NIL money should be saved for next year if possible. 2024 isn't the year to invest heavily in a QB IMO

idk, we'll probably be saying something different when Thorne drops countless sub 100 yard games again vs P5 teams and Hugh is blasting Nix at his PCs.

Blow that NIL money next year on JuJu and ride with the #1 QB

Don't forget Bolden. 

I don't want to hear that we don't have money. Go get a transfer QB. If it's not too late. 

Yeah, him too.  We had all this money ready to go then didn't spend any.  I like Kite and Lewis.  Not sure we really got anyone else of note.  Texas safety is a Vet who is okay-ish and his value probably going to come coaching up the younger kids

AUwent was right about RW.  AU would have been better served by spending the time and NIL money on a portal QB.

Saved all that money on McCray, Williams, Echols and didn't sign a QB 

sad

Unless RW cancels his visit to AU, it's still anybody guess where he goes,-IMO

I'd tell him to beat it.

Hired this guy.  Was GM of the year in 2022.

I'm actually pretty surprised we didn't have someone in this specific role.  Pretty sure even Harsin had one.  He was awful, like everything Harsin did, but had one.

I feel like this season if anything go bad, it will be we don't even know who is calling plays on either side of the ball

Well, we know Hugh will take credit for any good offensive play calls.  I hope Nix is ready to get run over by the Hugh Hummer

Lol I didn't even get that. I had a random guy say I was arguing with you if I'm not mistaken when there was no argument going on.

Couldn't even make up me doing anything wrong

Sorry, your fault was you just posted.  You're not allowed to do that.

Hire Symons please 

He took SMU's defense from 120th in year 1 to 11th in year two.

I'm actually kinda shocked he hasn't gotten more than listing his name at the end of any blurbs about our DC opening

So nothing new huh? Thinking Durkin at this point. 

Site mods currently throwing their proverbial shat at the wall

Tate claiming Kiffin was to interview yesterday.

Hoke claiming our Admin is against Durkin, but if Hugh pushed hard enough we would hire him.

247 claiming a mix of the two.

I'm guessing all the best insiders are claiming how godly Durkin is and know exactly what's going on, but we'll never know since our donations aren't good enough and we messed up by having the "wrong" opinion and not attacking the "right" family members of players

Apparently interviewing Kiffin today

After this is over, I would love to know why Scott Symons isn’t even being mentioned or considered. Did something go sour with him and Freeze? This should be a no-brainer based on what he did at Libery with Freeze and now at SMU…

He seems like he'd be a solid option. He has a good defense after leaving Liberty

Based on what…how do we know factually he was asked?

No one knows anything. That's clear.

People are trying to use thier brains and context clues to form an educated guess

The reality is the 2023 defense defended the 3rd fewest possessions per game (11.6) from 1992-2023, so they were not on the field more often because of the offense. They also defended the 5th fewest plays the last 34 seasons at 63.3 per game. The biggest issue on defense was surrendering too many explosive plays.

New clock rules?

Surely looks like Kiffin said “no”.

Yeah I mean it's the most logical when considering the entire timeline. 

Unless Kiffin starts getting NFL DC interviews, it's a bit weird.  You'd think with their past relationships a Yes/No could've gotten a while ago

2 hours ago, DAG said:

Why would we wait this long to name him the DC if true ? SMH.

IDK, it makes little sense.  Not sure why we'd wait for a guy who has been available for so long.  Not sure much has been lost with signing day past, but seems weird to all of a sudden be ready to close with another guy as soon as our #1 is possibly available.

Durkin was a name so comical, I had to think it was jokes lol. Would be the worst hire the program has made in my lifetime 

Unless all the beat writers are wrong (high chance), get ready for embarrassment

The Harsin hire was supposed to address "culture". It made it more toxic than it has in many years. Our response was to hire a controversial head coach. More culture problems developed within his first staff. If we hire a guy known for creating a toxic culture moreso than anything his defenses have accomplished, it's hard to take the "culture" talk seriously. 

Sorry, man.  These are the most godly coaches many people know.  The forgiveness and baptisms are rising along with the culture

If it were Durkin, we would’ve hired him already. He’s been available for some time now, and there would’ve been no reason to wait to make the hire. The only reason to have waited this long is that the coach is or had been still coaching up to this point. That means it has to be Chris Kiffin or someone else in the NFL.

I agree.  The timing seems really weird. 

36 minutes ago, Hank2020 said:

I am!! Each represents their own set of risks, but my gut is Kiffin is better choice with less backlash if it doesn’t work out. Not sure what group he coaches though ( if any).

DL or Edge or LBs.  He's done them all

If they win, I bet he goes with Durkin.

Symons coached for Freeze at Liberty correct?

Never heard of him, but quick Google and I'd take him over Durkin

Is it The Maryland fiasco? Or do you think that he’s just not any good?

He’s been around awhile but that’s about all I know about him

Yes. I'm not sure he's worth it. He wasn't exactly amazing at Ole Miss or A&M

🤦‍♀️ christ if hire Durkin.

Appears he's gaining traction.  I don't get why we'd hire someone like that when we've got so much going for us right now and Bama just crashign
