Interesting Take by Crain & Company on how this went down

Anyone got a TLDW?

Sheesh. I was kind of being half serious earlier when I said the Soviet Russia angle needed to die, but now I’m serious. Hearing 3 guys continue to make references over and over is cringe as frick. It’s almost like hiring a guy with an Italian heritage and making non stop God Father jokes. God forbid Golesh has lost family members to that communist regime without us turning him into a cheap meme

This morning he was claiming it was Durkin and he’d tell the story once it was announced.

He referenced that. He’s saying something happened at the last minute because the Golesh hire came out of nowhere. He thinks someone shut Cohen down at the last minute to prevent him from hiring Durkin and they hired Golesh instead.

Apparently Cohen fricked up the Sumrall hire also by agreeing to let him interview Durkin and making a decision on whether to retain him. At some point it leaked out that Cohen was working on an extension for Durkin and others and it pissed Sumrall off.

I find it hard to believe that it was a last minute thing with all the promo stuff they pumped out quick after the announcement. They had promo videos, photos, emails, and other shite that went quick.

I could see this actually being true. I think Durkin is being forced onto the next coach to hold recruits and that he has done well.

Golesh said he was offered the job at 1 am this morning. It sounds like Jboy’s story might be correct.

I like the video. Seems like it is a new day. He seems intense. You can tell he is tired but is setting a standard early on. Based off that intro to the team, I don’t think there will be Mercy Me playing at practice. He even said “f”.

Wake up boys…it isn’t a worried about hurting feelings approach. Could we be heading back to “blood on the saddle”?

I hope so. I’m pumped.

Sumrall cooled on Auburn when Florida became an option, and Urban Meyer badmouthed us It's as easy as that. The rest is the agent insulating his client from blame, after they, "slow played," Auburn for days.

Jake Crain failed spectacularly claiming it was DJ., right after he failed spectacularly claiming Hugh Freeze would be successful. That video is more about mitigation of those failures, than it is an explanation of Auburn's.

Who knows where they came up with that scenario, but if you've been around Auburn, long enough, there's no way that you would totally deny that it could have happened. I'm going to bed we will never know.
