Title: DJ Durkin or Chris Kiffin
Post by: jmar on January 22, 2024, 10:18:13 AM
Anybody care to share why one is better than the other with the Co-DC title?


I wrongly thought it was a done deal that Kiffin would be joining the staff as soon as the Texan's were bounced from the playoffs.

I prefer Kiffin so we can take photo of him with Nix and post it for Lane. Hello Brother!

And I think Kiffin comes with less backlash. WE need less backlash right now.

Don’t even call attention to it. It only encourages the insensitivity.

If u want the inside scoop, PM me. I can’t believe you thought we were hiring Kiffin after the Texans lost. Damn. You really don’t know anything about what’s going on behind the general public view.

Who is the better X's & O's guy & what base defense do they scheme out of?

Limited sample size with Kiffin, but there must be something to him since we are hearing his name 2 years in a row as the front-runner.

I didn't pay attention to A&M besides when we played them last year.  Mainly because I hate Jimbo Fisher so much.  Their defense had a really aggressive and disruptive game plan against us that would seem to fit our personnel.  Our offense looking like it was hampered by a bad case of teh aids last year certainly helped them as well.

I prefer Krispy Kreme, but Durkin Donuts are pretty good too.

I'm all for less backlash and getting a top notch recruiter only I'm not so sure we are more coordinated defensively by having co dependents instead of one guy in charge.

Unsure about X's and O's but I am the general public plus I like Krispy Kreme better than Durkin's.

Never had Voodoo.  Thomas' Doughnuts on Front Beach Road in Panty Bra City, is pretty skippy too.  But then, everything tastes better at the beach.

Can probably make it there in less than 6 hours in the pickup with about three pee stops.
What ocean we talkin' about?

Not a fan of this hire.

A lot of this staff makes me have to hold my nose to watch AU football.  The wins better pile up or the selling of our souls was not worth it.

I can only say that Kelly is known as a first rate recruiter by record. Nothing else about him gets me excited and Kiffin at least had a history with Freeze.
Maybe Durkin can get them all lined up right.

Why not?  He has had better than average defenses at every stop as a DC.  The stuff that happened at Maryland was during summer workouts where he was not present, and was a failure of the medical staff.  He still took blame as the leader of the program and has been at multiple different stops since without issue that I know of (unless you know something I don't, which is entirely possible).  All that aside, the wins better start piling up regardless of who is on staff.  Expectations were low enough last year, and we still underperformed in a lot of games.  Time to start winning more than we lose.

Great.  I'm not arguing anyone's on-field qualifications...yet.

I'm saying the fucking baggage is starting to pile up unnecessarily.  We don't need any unforced errors and this staff keeps daring the universe.

Even with the inexplicable loss to New Mexico State our team finished 4th among all other SEC defenses.


And we finished 6-6!



We get Durkin for Robert's knowing our lack of offense kept the defense on the field.


So for me (minus the NMSt debacle) we could have had any of our previous DCs before Harsin and finished in the upper half among SEC defenses.
