Patridge


From a 247 article

5. Partridge is noted as one of the nation's top recruiters. He was named national recruiter of the year by 247Sports in 2017. In 2016, he earned the same recognition from Scout. In 2019, 247Sports listed him as one of the top five recruiters in the country. He has been heralded as one of the nation's top five recruiters in three of the last five seasons.

quote:

Durkin


As an assistant coach, Durkin was named the 2012 national recruiter of the year by Rivals and led three top-20 scoring defenses as a coordinator.

Another significant factor i saw pointed out elsewhere is Partridge can coach safeties and line backers. Durkin can coach linebackers and D-Line. That gives us tremendous flexibility moving forward. That means we probably make Bo Davis, Tosh Lupoi, and Karl Scott all tell us no because we could hire any of the 3 and make things work.

Really want Lupoi for no other reason than to make the Tosh joke come full circle

I am slightly worried about how Durkin's hiring will work on the recruiting trail but #InLaneWeTrust

From what I was reading, before he was fired, two independent investigations didn’t find him at fault but the media/public backlash is what got him fired

So, I mean, yeah the optics suck... but he’s got an argument...

Maybe that's why he was hired as the Co-D Coordinator as well... Maybe Partridge will be the big recruiter and Durkin will be eased back into it once the dust settles. For now, it looks rough from an optics perspective. Great defensive mind though... Just hope it works out.

All in all, I like the hire

Great defensive minds in Durkin and Partridge

Lebby and Kiffin together on offenses

Gideon making us block all the kicks and punts

Mf Clements making our OL into some savages

If we can swing 2 of Davis/Lupoi, Charles Scott, or Tee Martin to finish out... DEAD.

I think we still have 2-3 defensive assistants and a WR coach.

I’m sure with all these recruiters coming in they will have there own evaluation team. Nothing against siskey or Chapman they both have killed it for us. I wish we could make it work for them to stay.

Apparently Charles Clark was hired by Memphis today. I wish him well but also wish that they’d lose every game.
