Perhaps... But Foster has still yet to sign an extension and we are just two weeks away from his 800k VT annuity payment kicking in.

UF announced a new DC hire today, so Durkin might be in play.
I hope not. I'm not feeling it, but I should probably look into him more before I form an opinion.

pretty sure that Stanford D was pretty salty when he was there and they recruited well (even by Stanford standards)
Posted on 12/16/14 at 10:32 am to Warrior Poet
But he wasn't the DC.

True, but that doesn't preclude him from being a good coach and quality recruiter. It just means he has something to prove. Obviously someone liked his talent since he got the promotion under a head coach that is highly regarded as a great defensive coach.

True, but I'd rather have 20 years of stud defenses from a DC vs 1ish and some potential.
Posted on 12/16/14 at 10:51 am to Farmer1906
I think we'd all prefer to get someone like Foster, Pelini or Venables including Sumlin. Pretty sure Durkin is being considered as a backup option to guys like that if he truly is an option

Yeah I'm skeptical of that as well

You can scratch Pelini. Being announced today as HC at Youngstown St

I was just naming the first three experienced track record type guys who came to my head as examples. I doubt Pelini was a serious candidate either.

Florida is hiring the Mississippi St. DC, so Durkin is "available."

Sounds like our final 4 is Durkin, Foster, Maddison, & Chizik.

You forgot about me.

I hope we get Durkin just for the inevitable name change to _J _urkin when he starts to suck it up 
But for the record, I definitely hope its Bud Foster

We all do, though if we can't get Foster/Venables, I would be content with Durkin. Good pedigree, good recruiter, injection of energy and excitement.

Still not a candidate.

Don't know this for sure. No one knows anything. His name is out there --> he's a candidate until it's denied or we've made a hire.
