If Durkin plays Bama to the wire/win the IB, does he by default get the nod? Serious question…not trolling

I would not be surprised if that happened. Winning the IB is a big deal at Auburn.

Consider this.

Gus started the fall.

Not one coach since Gus has solved the major problem surrounding offensive line play.

One quarterback leaves Auburn, gets close to playing for national title and now is of the top quarterbacks in the NFL…….all he did was run for his life at Auburn. Talented quarterbacks are not the problem.

Roster retention
Coach retention


I care little about either of these, especially coach retention. I would like to keep Cam and a few guys on D, but that's it.

this. (and run a modern, grown up offense )

do this and player retention will take care of itself. don't make a decision base on what you "think" a bunch of 18,19, 20 year olds are going to do. It's unknowable.

Head coaching experience: We were Pat Dye’s third HC job

Recruiting: can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shite
