Roc is the Ends coach. So SDE and Edge players. Durkin is the LB coach

Agreed I expect Crime to move to an off field role. I expect Durkin to remain as DC Rushing to remain as Safeties coach VKW to remain as DL Roc is still up in the air but I think he will get serious consideration.
I agree with all of this.
Not sure Kenyatta is back. (I’d even go as far to say it isn’t likely.)
Will Redmond is also likely gone, but will stick around Auburn in administration.

Any insight why?

Kenyatta cares more about Kenyatta than anything else.
Allegedly he tried to get multiple players to sit if he didn’t get an on field role after Hugh was fired. (I’m not 100% sure how true that is, but it lines up with everything I’ve heard about him.)
Talked with a support staff friend and he seems to think it’s going to be gutted from top to bottom over there. He’s started looking for another job already and he’s been here for 8 years now.

To player friendly. To soft. Has covered for players when discipline was needed.
He would have to fall in line with Golesh culture.

If Durkin doesn't stay, is there any chance we could pull TRob from Kirby's staff at UGA? Would we want to?

What does Kenyatta even do?
Have Auburn finish second place with kids from Georgia?
I’ve always heard how important he is but I don’t see it. I’m also not there though.

I don't know. I expect Durkin to stay. Durkin has known he wasn't going to be the coach since last week. They have already been working on increasing incentives and new contract. So unless Golesh and Durkin just get into a fist fight tonight I expect Durkin to remain. We can match whatever LSU might think they could throw at Durkin

Kenyatta is a great talent evaluator but it definitely hasn't helped us land Atlanta Metro kids. None from Grayson, Buford or any of the major programs. Hell Bama is killing us in Atlanta now and it's 3.5 hours away.
But Kenyatta does have a ton of connections in the south east but he is/was part of the player culture problem. If he was landing 4-5 top 300 kids each year sure you might can look past some of the issues but not when we aren't landing any

Papoose is the last (and only) Grayson player I remember at AU. There was also the WR from Archer that was there at the same time as Nate Craig-Myers. Then if course Derrick Brown from Lanier. But for the largest school system in Georgia, Auburn rarely gets anyone from Gwinnett.

Needs to happen.
Let Golesh decide

Its up to the coach, but I would guess some players will transfer out if Kenyatta is gone. I know he's really close with Deuce so that will be something to watch.

If they leave because of that then that is part of our problem. They are now getting paid like workers. So if they leave then fine. We will hire more that want to be here for the right reasons.
These are now paid jobs that you go to school also.

That sucks. I know a guy from the 2010 team who’s been around the program since and is an awesome dude. Sad to think he may be out

Kenyatta isn’t a coach and he can get u in about anyone’s door but coaches need to pull them through. A lot of that has to do what our on the field play is doing
I haven’t heard the rumors mentioned above, find it highly doubtful or Durk and ex Coach Cohen would have shown him the door quick
Hate these unsubstantiated rumors BS

If Deuce would spur a HC whose offense is tailermade for him (while making millions) to follow an off-field coach, then that would be a bad business decision.
I get relationships, but got to see the bigger picture. Now if he left for tOSU or something, I’d be pissed but would understand the move
