Nobody with any football knowledge believes those numbers represent the defense Durkin put up.


So by your logic the tremendous strides our defense made as the season went on also doesn't represent Durkin?

I feel a lot better about next year then.

So the consensus of the board is it is a bad hire right? That Jimbo can't get anything right. I hear he reads the SEC Rant and acts accordingly.

Durkin really turned things around at Ole Miss. He switched our defense over to a 3-2-6 based off of our personnel, and our defense was playing damn good the second half of the year. In fact, this was the first year in a long while that our defense actually won some games for us.

Hate to hear that we're losing him. Guy did a hell of a job for us and is a damn good defensive coach.

Ole Miss defense played great against Baylor - and kept them in the game while the young QB got the chance to get comfortable.

We got our first option.

Jimbo has had some success hiring DCs in the past.

Durkin
Elko
Kelly
Pruitt

DJ definitely needs to make sure he double masks around the A&M program due to all the Covid

Sorry to say but Durkin is washed up. His defenses were horrible at ole miss
. Happy to see this hire. Believe A&M will squander all that talent they paid for this year

This rumor's been floating about for days now. We'll see.

If so, that's a good get for A&M. Regardless of end-of-season rankings, he turned Ole Miss's defense from arguably last in the FBS to respectable, if not good, by the end of the year. And all with very little talent.

I just wish Ole Miss would do everything in its power to keep him, and I wish he would show a little loyalty to Kiffin and Ole Miss for giving him an opportunity.

Honestly, this seems like a schematic downgrade from Elko.

He took them from 117th to 51st in scoring D. He had similar gains in S&P DEF as well. Largely Ole Miss seems pleased with the job he did.
