he game winning drive people are gonna bitch about incessantly was extended on third down twice by a soft af pi and the biggest oopsie "roughing the passer" I've ever seen where 17 had to fight off a hold to even get there

I know, that's what I'm talking about and DJ just stands there like "are you sure, oh well"? At some point go Muschamp on these dudes on national television. At least bring it into the spotlight, show the players you will fight for them. Call them out publicly and not some week later days later. On the field, in the press conference. Not just the officials themselves but the SEC office. Nothing will ever change until there is accountability.

I think Durkin is a hard arse. But he's doing head coaching and DC stuff all the last few games. Durkin is hard nosed, disciplined, and organized.

I hate to admit it, but I like him. His recruiting would be a big unknown.

I see you are all on the cope, justify and hope phase

If we hire durkin whoever here likes him deserves the continual hell we get from it.

Well one was ticky tack and could definitely be called and the other was by definition a penalty.

I do see what you're saying though let me be clear. And thats why he just needs to stay exactly where he is at. Unless the next head coach is taking venables or kirby hostage on our sideline whoever he wants to bring with him is gonna probably be a step back. And the ball coach better be a damn good talent evaluator too bc he will have about 20 spots to fill on the defense alone.

I'm not putting my name on any coach. I just think Durkin is a solid coach.

For those that don't understand his Maryland record and only look at the bottom line I would agree he was a bad head coach.

But from looking into it. His first season he had them at 6-1 and his starter and backup QB got injured. His second season his team was 2-0 and the starting QB went down with an injury again. Back then you couldn't just go swap players every year especially at a Maryland

but we don't have that stud to turn to when we need him like Nick Farley

Our Freshmen DL class is insanely talented. Will any of them be a Nick? Idk.

Should have some All-SEC players from it

I’m a big believer in it is what it is. With that said it is a fact that he didn’t cut it as a HC and his record as interim is 1-2. If he was gonna be a world beater he would be. He isn’t. He’s a top 10 DC at a place that hasn’t sniffed sustained success in a decade. This is as down as I can remember Auburn. I’ve never been so aggravated or defeated with our direction as a program or results on the field. No doubt with durkin we’d have been better than with freeze but what’s a 7-5 durkin led team do over a 5-7 led freeze team? For me I’ve watched most my 20s and early 30s be riddled with shite Auburn teams and poor leadership. I’ve never been for Tennessee’s antics until this year. It’s time to show an arse or two.

I understand why my grandfather was so excited to see 2010 and 2013. I just don’t know how he stayed so patient with Auburn.
