I agree we need an up and comer but I think Durkin is way over hyped. If you look at the efficiency statistics from last year Maryland regressed in almost every category and their 6-7 record matched their 3 year avg. When he was a coordinator at Florida he had elite talent that he didn't recruit. I can't help but think he is getting traction because he beat Texas, which is somehow more stupid than hiring Morris because he is an Aggie.

i agree, the jury is still out on durkin. that said, he is a good dc.

same boat as morris on the other side of the ball. both of em need to show something this year.

if morris wins 8 games this year i could see hiring him. huge rebuild he inherited.

would still take kelly, mullen and gundy over anyone else we could realistically get.

gundy might not even be an option. if kelly wants to coach again there aren't many places better than a&m as far as potential goes.

i think we could certainly get mullen. i don't think we'll have much competition, mcelwain at uf will get another year at the least. nd might be looking for a new head coach after this year, that would be about it.

as of now, i would put mullen as the most realistic candidate. kelly would be my top choice, but not sure if he wants to coach again. gundy already gets close to making the playoffs every few years where he's at.
