I don’t think people thought keeping Durkin would help retain the offense
It's even more absurd for the mods to claim we needed to hire Durkin just to maintain one side of the ball then.

DeAndre was like 365 pounds and barley played. I'm almost certain he was a budget cut based on lack of performance.

Well if he's says already that he's watched Deuce Knight's snaps 5 times, so I'm sure he saw the extra lazy linemen play and gave them the truth of the matter and that they aren't doing what they need to stay. I'm not jumping to extra conclusions on a mid December day

We could have kept Carter. I mean we need to hit 105 schollys. Getting some USF bums isnt some instant win.

We would have liked to keep malcolm simmons...He is supposedly looking to play for Bama.

I would be totally fine replacing every single offensive starter

Bama is also closing in on a State of collapse so hope he has fun. For the record Malcolm is the only guy we've lost that disappointed me. The Auburn live guys mentioned how close DeAndre was to the old staff last week and even hinted that he would leave. I know we'll replace the numbers and HOPEFULLY this new offensive staff can develop players.

If you just want to expunge a virus then do it. But our offense was actually exciting the last 3 games (change of command.)

Like I said in 22 if we just cast a net for a shite ton of portalers then you're going to have a large mixed bag and the ratio may not be ideal

Why do people think we're just going after the USF players, I mean for their offensive production maybe some of them aren't bums. Also why all of the sudden you folks getting negabarner over some nobodies other than Malcolm Simmons, and an unused Perry Thompson

I'm not sure what Hugh wanted is really what new guy wants.

We got a new coach. Said he likes to base his game plan on the players. His plan his players, sounds expected. Durkin might have a new directive, maybe his own I don't know, maybe something Hugh didn't want. Guy's he might have liked, now doesn't, don't care.

Personally I'm getting a little tingly and Hugh never did that.

So the portal does not open for two weeks......

But 620 kids have already entered and 25 are committed

But we have rules regarding tampering, yeah yeah, college football has the ethics of a bunch of Somalians running medicare

Perry was the backup to Horatio Fields whom is also gone. Carter was a nice depth piece. We cannot afford to lose too many "nobodies" or else our depth chart is a giant hole like Freeze inherited.

Rosters are now going to 105 scholarship players. Stack the toolshed.

Im betting Golesh looked at the NIL for those two lineman and each one was making more than his entire OL at USF, half of which could kick the living shat out of those two. Told them their new pay and they decided to leave.

You guys melting now stay tuned. I can see others who fit in that category: Demarcus Riddick, Joe Phillips, Devonte Waller, and others.

I think most of us would get physically ill if we saw what Atkins was making versus what Riddick made and Atkins had over six times the tackles. I know Riddick shoulder was hurting him, not enough to keep him from cashing a check for the last two years.

You're daydreaming lil bro. Those linemen are responsible for being the 4th best team in the AAC at best

Did anybody notice that we whiffed on recruiting also?

I wonder how many USF bums we can get?

Give Golesh the purse so we can go to the dollar store.
