I’m less concerned about the player death. I’m more concerned about the alleged abuse of players and the odd meeting where players just walked out on him. Wish there was more info on what he said that ticked everyone off. Just odd that we would fire a DC accused of being abusive to hire one who has been accused of the same thing. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is some people on here will suddenly believe Durkin was the top choice, whether or not that is accurate. Not saying that's you but it's the way it works. People going to believe what they want. At the end of the day, let's hope he is the right choice. Of course his past will follow him and best be sure if Saban had hired those same people would be spreading that same past. He has a football acumen that is respected at the very least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,336 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Anyone know anything about Durkin’s scheme? I know he ran a base 3-2-6 dime at Ole Miss. But I think that was a Lane Kiffin demand because they continued to run that after Durkin left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GwillMac6 20,685 Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 (edited) Kiffin was pretty obviously the first choice but it was also pretty clear Durkin was the second choice. It’s not like we were getting turned down left and right. Just glad it’s not Charles Kelly calling the plays. So pumped we upgraded immensely at the coordinator positions when it comes to recruiting. L F G!!! That’s what I am most excited about. War damn y’all! Edited January 30 by GwillMac6 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Man if Auburn doesn't get something substantive out of this Freeze hire, they're going to have eat a ton of ish for the entirety of the 2020s. From Harsin on, just a Sisyphus-like story. There's nothing that can make any of this "feel" right, but they gotta at least get a natty out of this to validate the nastiness. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbird 60,560 Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 Kiffen and DJ were immediately identified as 1a/1b. CHF wanted CK more due to personal familiarity, but CJG and CJT have experience with DJ. We waited until CK could talk, interviewed (he interviewed with NFL teams also), gave Him through the weekend to make a decision, and made our choice. Both obviously had contracts ready to execute. 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defensive system needs to be in place before the start of spring training. So it wasn't like Auburn had a lot of time to wait on Chris Kiffen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted January 30 Popular Post Share Posted January 30 (edited) I dont get this whole " giving him a 2nd chance" narrative. He hasn't been sitting in a jail in Maryland. He has been DC at 2 SEC programs the last 4 yrs and by the stats provided, he has done a good job. He worked with Derrick Nix at Ole Miss, so I'm sure he vouched for him Edited January 30 by NWALA Tiger 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure three weeks is enough time. Last season, Auburn had people missing assignments up to and including the Alabama game. I personally think they need as much time as possible. A spring game would be a great opportunity to practice it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same one I gave Malzahn, Chizik, Harsin, and Tub. The arrogance is what gets me with some Auburn fans. There is not a single fan base that hates Auburn as much as Auburn fans. Bama and UGA included. Sure they will claim that they love Auburn and want better for Auburn but spew nothing other than hate. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
