Do Auburn folks really want DJ Durkin?

I’m seeing plenty of people on social media wanting to elevate Durkin to the full time gig. I get that his side of the ball has done well, but why would you want any leftovers from the staff that has brought you the last 3 years? How can you not want something completely new?

Auburn fans dont have a say in who's hired. As with any other fan base, some would not like him, some would.

Better hire a defense coordinator for this year first, seems like they forgot about replacing the guy they gave a promotion.

Obviously, if the loud social media ones did y’all would be trying to replace Cadillac right now.

But, it seems like he’s likely on the list. May just be a courtesy interview type thing, who knows, but there’s energy there.

But they will claim whoever it is as a homerun hire the same way you did for horsin and sleeze. And the next transfer qb will win the heisman like Thorne and Arnold. Delusional bandwagon fanbase.

You could hire him cheap and he has HC experience byes he has a checkered past but Hugh liked escorts so morality is not a deal breaker.

You sir have no clue what you are talking about. No Auburn fan was happy about Harsin or Freeze. But keep on with your low IQ takes.

Let me guess, mostly blonde females (35 and over) that don't even know what an h-back is?

Nah, they are all cheering the election of the New York mayor and hoping for Sharia Law.

We are just watching and waiting until they realize what Sharia Law is.

bullshite. I had tons of debates with Auburn fans telling me Harsin was a great hire and that I was wrong when I pointed out Boise St declined after he took over.

First, I am not an Auburn fan, but I have an observation, for what it's worth.

The case for Durkin is that he remarkably rejuvenated the Auburn team in one week and actually formulated a game plan that challenged a very effective Vandy offense. (Contrast this to the Florida interim.) He has the defense part covered. Spend the money and hire a quality offensive staff. Visit the portal for good offensive players. Why search for the elusive White Knight when you have a proven coach right now?

Because of what happened last time he was a head coach.
