It better be DJ Smith.

It better be DJ Jazzy Jeff over him.

The hell?

I'm not sure if it is Durkin, but he's a serious candidate.

I'm told he was lined up to be Saban's DC if he didn't retire. The pros are that he has good recruiting chops and is a strong performer. The downside is obviously that he worked a player to heatstroke and death 5 years ago.

On-field, I think it's a great hire. Factoring in the other stuff makes it feel slimy.

Mozee is a pretty solid bet to Mizzou right? Love this kids game he's visiting Lincoln this weekend can't help but think Raiola gives us a chance but with the streak Dirk is on it seems not likely

Corey Batoon from South Alabama is the new DC per Pete Thamel....

Uh.....sure.....
[Reply]

Who
[Reply]

Top 30 defense the last 2 years. At South Alabama. He's going to have a ton more resources at Mizzou. I don't hate it.

That's all I've got... :-)

After a little research I am glad this is the hire over Durkin. Thank fuck for not going that direction, Drinkwitz.

They beat Oklahoma State 33-7 this last season in Stoolwater. Their HC just got hired as the DC for Alabama. 15th in total defense last season.

The more I read, the more I like, tbh.

Hope he's a good coach, cause I saw some scuttlebutt that he's knocked up a couple of women while still being married and has the obvious Hugh Freeze and Liberty connections. Dude is also 55 years old and this is his first P5 coordinator job.

I think I'll settle for that over killing kids in practice tbh

Seems like a perfectly competent hire.

They're losing quite a bit on defense (Robinson, Hopper, Rakestraw, Abrams-Draine, Carlies), so if the D takes a step back it's likely more that than the coordinator change.

What’s wrong with having connections to Liberty?

I've been hearing that KAD, Robinson and Schrader have been killing it at the senior bowl.
