DJD likely staying, I’d put that at 85%.
I’m glad we have guys in the know..
Are you ex player? Staff? Booster? Etc. (we can keep secrets)

Given some of the names I've seen, Sumrall is about as close to a homerun as I could have hoped for.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. He’s listed as BCS Champ and Super Bowl champ, who knew? And he’s married to girl named Frankie, so I guess her name is Frankie Franklin

Not exactly the comment you want to see about a hire at top 15 program.
But yeah, that's what we can do.
(other than rage about the possibility of Neal Brown or Jake Spavital - what a joke.)

Doesn’t mean Jack shite. Unless he puts pen to paper, there is no done deal.

Ex HS coach at a couple of bigger programs in BHAM area.
friends with several Ex players but none of them hear as much now as they used to.
I give money but not enough to call myself a serious booster, but I am close with several that do.
My dad coached with several coaches that have been at AU through the years.

Do you think the whole D staff will be retained? Have you heard anyone that would be coming from Tulane?

I hope we get a different oline coach.

Nix is the only offensive staff member I think could hang around.
As for defensive staff, I haven’t heard, but I’d assume at least the Majority stays.

No Marcus Davis?

It’s possible, but I think we’ll upgrade there.

I want to say that if he fails to replace Thornton that's a big red flag right out of the gate, but hard to decide if all of our problems were Freeze or not. I mean he was Kiffin's OL coach at Ole Miss and Kiffin was pretty pissed when we poached him off the staff from what i can remember.

The amount of suckers running around these boards proclaiming coach X is a done deal is hilarious! I don’t know how many times they have to burn their hand on the stove to understand this
