I wouldn't hire Durkin. And Briles et al are supposedly toxic? Is Durkin going to be the D Craig for Saban? Recruits' parents are going to happy with that hiring?

I think he's been unapologetically "win at all costs", "the end justifies the means", etc.. for some time. He at least makes an effort to put some spin on things but it has never swayed him from doing anything that could possibly give him an edge. To think that it would bother a Bama fan is laughable.

I don't think its even a "win at all cost" approach. Im genuinely curious what the hell makes DJ Durkin worth taking the risk. Is he a really great coach and Im unaware of it. He's done OK but why the hell you take the criticism for an average coach is just puzzling to me.

You losers looking for some relief from getting your azz handed to you by Saban? Keep looking.

Durkin hasn’t been hired. He isn’t officially on Bama’s staff in any capacity. He is consulting.

Read CNS statement; so this seems to be mere low grade media outrage.

I'll let you know when he is hired, Larry. Since he hasn't been, I can't answer that question.

Saban offers a coaching rehab while sucking your brain dry or football knowledge

Bama has about 50 “analysts” on staff. They just happen to be former good coaches. All of them. Hmmm..... They’re not coaching those young men, though. No. That’s cheating. ??

Finebaum lining up callers. This is not at all the first time Finebaum has “ripped” Saban and it isn’t the first time that Saban doesn’t care what Finebaum has to say.

$100 says the bald headed prick had his statement sent in to Saban for approval before “ripping” into him.
