That’s not encouraging.
It's not much different at any level of football past Pee-Wee, though. My HS coach ran us ragged and this was a small private school with approximately 3* players on the team**.
*give or take a couple dozen
** technically, we were just a "gathering" but we tried hard to be a team.

Yet he funds a huge Catholic center on campus, has a massive program for kids in troubled situations. So he gives a guy busy work likely for no pay to get him back on his feet. I get it he has beat the dickens out of most of your teams and you desperately search for any relief. OK by me.

Good. D.J. Durkin is ultimately responsible for what happened in that program because he was the HC but there were a host of other people that were educated and equipped to prevent that death and didn't. Durkin should not be beyond redemption here, he lost his job and maybe he should have but he doesn't deserve to be blackballed.

He's shown that he'll do what he thinks is right over the squeals of the hypocrites and lemmings out there who worry what other's will think/say over what is right...guys a BIG man in a small frame.

Except after a thorough investigation he was found to not be at fault.
Right or wrong, that means nothing.
He's long since been guilty in the court of public opinion.

This actually impresses me as an example of Saban's power at Bama. Now, I went to a private Southern parochial school for a few years (though I'm not Catholic, my grandparents on my father's side were) but the South outside of LA is still heavily Protestant and fairly resistant to Catholicism. Hell, hating Catholics was part of the Klan's central ideology. Creating a "huge" Catholic center (I have no idea what "huge" means in this context, though) isn't something I'd have expected any Southern donor to sell (outside, again, of LA.)

Really? Saban is only interested in getting an advantage. How many new recruiting rules have had to be written because of the advantages Nick takes?
He doesn't think about right or wrong

Oh boy, Paul doesn't like this move at all:

Paul Finebaum absolutely blasts Alabama, Nick Saban for using DJ Durkin as consultant

“I think’s an absolutely terrible, embarrassing look for Nick Saban. This is a man that doesn’t need anymore consultants…He’s the best coach in college football, this is the best program in college football. This is a terrible look for the University of Alabama.”

He'll kill it in that role.

Durkin hasn't been hired as a coach. He's doing part-time consultant work. He's not an analyst or assistant. This is most likely related to game planning/scouting for the playoff.
Maybe he is the one going to be bribing the referees if things do not go Alabama way?

This goes way beyond the standard Saban coaching rehab clinic thing. That shouldn’t have to be explained.

He's given a number of coaches 2nd chances when others were afraid of public opinion. Sure it helped him, but it was also a win/win for the program AND the individual.

Saban probably has the date when Jerry Sandusky is up for parole. He was a heckuva linebacker coach.

Yeah giving Sark a second chance is a completely different galaxy than bringing in DJ fricking Durkin bro, and you know that.
