Upvote from me. Leaning more toward the positive side than neutral. I didn’t know much about him prior to him being hired but I really like what I’ve read/listened to about his offense at USF and UTenn.

He should provide a schematic advantage offensively which is rarer these days and seems to have a handle on how he wants his program to run. And from what he’s said about that - I really like where his priorities are at.

Positive with a healthy dose of "wait-and-see".

I will say, my biggest concern was hiring another playcaller HC - but hearing him in the presser emphasize the requirement of his offensive staff (including himself) to evolve was *chef's kiss*.

Of course, we'll have to see if the results play out on the field, but that's exactly what I wanted to hear.

He seems to be a good fit and I think it’s a good hire but I’m waiting until after the first season to really know if we hired the right guy. All of the hires since Tubs hasn’t been great between Chiz was a disaster except for the Cam season. I was done with paranoid Gus after the ‘15 season, Haskins, and the golfing beaver I’m hesitant to get my hopes up.

I want to see what type of staff he can put together.

His offense is explosive but it can put a lot of stress on a defense. Golesh's teams rank very low in time of possession. Auburn better have depth so that they can rotate on defense.

I have heard good things about his work ethnic and toughness.

He worked for Matt Campbell who is a good coach.

Also heard he is a hands on recruiter.

I hope that he does well. But who knows?

Watched the presser today and did a little work on Youtube trying to learn more about him. I am not one to get too excited at first and I have been trying to temper my expectations but at this point, I really like him. He is a football coach first and doesnt seem like a politician. He also does not seem fake which was my #1 issue with preacher Hugh


He has a little edge to him and Im not sure he is even PC. I think he would be fun to play for and I think he is going to be fun to pull for. He is in a tight spot with the roster, signing day and keeping key personnel. Im talking about players and coaches


Watching his presser today, I feel like Durkin can stay and be the DC if he wants. Just not sure if that is going to happen. We will see. He named Kodi Burns the Assistant Head Coach. Which is something I think DJ would be interested in. We will see. He has guys he trusts in and he is going to lean on them. As he should

When he talks, I dont feel like I am getting worked. I like that. With Freeze, I felt like he was going to sell me a encyclopedia.


This first year is going to be a tough one with our schedule. But he does not seem to be too worried about it




Upvote for me. Yes im cautious but he seems like the guy we need

Our defense was on the field a lot this year as well. A lot of 3 and outs due to sacks and crappy play calling. If we are scoring so fast that the defense is getting tired that might be a welcomed change

Tennessee was suffering with their defense this year. They were wearing out early and they had some.injuries that limited their depth.
