Awesome news. Golesh would have been a good hire regardless, but having Durkin come back makes it an excellent hire.

Should be able to keep the majority of our defensive players now I would think.

Thank you Auburn.

This is so satisfying.

Years of mediocrity and lackluster hires -

Jack Crowe
Frank Orgle
Tommy Bowden
John Lovett
Noel Mazzone
Hugh Nall
Tony Franklin
Ted Roof
Scott Leffler
Brian Van Gorder
Chip Lindsay
Derek Mason
Eric Keisau
Ron Roberts
Philip Montgomery
Hugh Freeze

A few good ones along the way but

Auburn could always do so much better.

I think these two together will do great things for Auburn football. I really like Durkin and this crazy Russian is growing on me.

The only one for sure not coming back in Defense seems to be Roc Bellantoni (been taken off the AU Official Staff Page). And Van Dyke is the only addition to the defense so far.

Marcus Davis and Ben Aigamamua are the only 2 on offense that have not been taken off the Staff page.
