  1. saturdaydownsouth.com Greg McElroy calls Auburn’s reported new defensive coordinator DJ Durkin a ‘runaway bride’ Keith Farner | 20 hours ago 3–4 minutes Cole Cubelic and Greg McElroy reacted to Hugh Freeze’s latest coaching staff moves, including reportedly hiring DJ Durkin as defensive coordinator. They noted the backlash about the hire, but McElroy shared that Durkin was in the mix to be on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama had the coach not retired. Cubelic first noted that Durkin at Texas A&M had an elite defensive line, which feasted on a lot of different offenses. “But the talent was something that I don’t think you had to really scheme up, based on what they had, the depth and the overall ability of that defensive line,” Cubelic said. “We’ve had our complaints about him schematically. One of the nicest guys you’ll sit down and talk to.” Known around the SEC, and a coach who knows the SEC, Cubelic said Durkin is known as a good recruiter and someone who has plenty of experience. “DJ Durkin’s really well liked, and really well respected as a football coach,” McElroy said. “The problem that I have with it is I don’t know what style of defense is his. I feel like he’s been runaway bride. Every single time she was dating somebody, she changed her favorite eggs. I don’t know what he is.” McElroy then recalled Durkin’s previous SEC stops at Ole Miss, Florida and Texas A&M, and the circumstances around the head coaches, like Lane Kiffin and Will Muschamp. “I don’t know what his defensive identity is,” McElroy said. “That’s what I’m most curious about. It’s not that I don’t think it’s a good hire, it’s I don’t know what style of defense he’s going to employ.” Cubelic recalled how Durkin came up with an odd-front alignment philosophy, but then he flipped to an even front. Then Kiffin stepped in and said he wanted to run the 3-3-5. “I think we know how that worked out, it’s not a defense that’s going to work in this league,” Cubelic said. “There’s too much power, there’s too much oomph, you’re just not going to be able to get away with it.” Then at A&M, Cubelic figured Durkin would play a 4-down linemen setup because of the talent, but instead the Aggies used more 3-down linemen than they ever thought he would. “I think the acumen is great, I think the experience is great,” Cubelic said. “But I have had some issues with how he’s called it the last couple of years.” TRENDING 58,148 READS 51,772 READS 23,016 READS Keith Farner A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.

  2. al.com 3 Auburn signees win awards at Alabama Mr. Football banquet Updated: Jan. 30, 2024, 2:22 p.m.|Published: Jan. 30, 2024, 2:15 p.m. 3–4 minutes Central-Phenix City's Cam Coleman celebrates his touchdown during the AHSAA Super 7 Class 7A championship at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023. (Vasha Hunt | preps@al.com)Vasha Hunt | vhunt@al.com Three Auburn signees won awards at the 2023 Alabama Mr. Football awards presented on Tuesday in Montgomery. Five-star wide receiver recruit Cam Coleman out of Central-Phenix City was named the Class 7A Back of the Year, four-star linebacker recruit Joe Phillips out of Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee was named the Class 4A Lineman of the Year and three-star linebacker recruit DJ Barber out of Clay-Chalkville was named the Class 6A Lineman of the Year. Auburn signees Perry Thompson and Malik Blocton were nominated as well but did not win their categories. Thompson lost to Coleman and Blocton lost to Barber. Alabama commit and five-star receiver Ryan Williams from Saraland was named the state’s overall Mr. Football. He made history as the first-ever two-time winner of the award. Coleman was the last of the three winners to be announced. “War eagle,” Coleman said as he walked off the stage in the front of the ballroom at the Rennaissance hotel in downtown Montgomery. When he walked up on stage, Auburn wide receivers coach Marcus Davis, who was in the crowd, smiled in his seat. Davis led the way to Auburn signing the best wide receiver class in program history with Coleman, Thompson, four-star receiver Bryce Cain and four-star receiver Malcolm Simmons. “First off, it takes a village with the help of Coach Freeze and the rest of the staff,” Davis told AL.com after the awards ceremony. “It takes a village to get those guys. You’ve got a couple guys that’s the best in the state that want to compete and get better. That’s a big part of it as well. It’s a testament to those guys and what they want to build as players.” Davis wasn’t able to talk explicitly about Auburn’s recruiting goals ahead of the Feb. 7 National Signing Day, especially after Williams re-committed to Alabama last week. He said the plan at this point is to “finish strong.” “You’ll see as you go,” Davis said. Coleman is currently on campus going through workouts at Auburn. Thompson hasn’t arrived yet. Davis said Coleman has gotten better throughout winter workouts and gotten acclimated to college since his January arrival. “That’s going to be fun,” Davis said of when he can get all his receivers on campus. “It’s a process. Those guys are going through this process right now. We’re looking forward to it with them.” Matt Cohen covers Auburn sports for AL.com.

He is the former co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and head coach for the University of Maryland. Before Maryland, he was the defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan. He also served as the interim head football coach and defensive coordinator of the Florida Gators football team for the team's 2014 bowl game. Durkin began serving as the head coach of the University of Maryland football team in 2015.[2] Following the practice-related death of player Jordan McNair, Durkin was placed on leave in August 2018.[3] Matt Canada was named acting head coach until further notice.[3] The University System of Maryland Board of Regents reinstated Durkin on October 30, 2018,[4] instigating protests and uproar.[5] University of Maryland president Wallace Loh fired Durkin the next day.[6] Playing career[edit] A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Durkin attended Boardman High School where he was an all-conference and all-Northeast Ohio selection.[7][8] Durkin played wide receiver and outside linebacker at Bowling Green from 1997 to 2000, and served as a team captain his final two seasons. He started a total of 33 games in his career and recorded 131 tackles, including 28 for loss. Durkin led the team in sacks in 1998 and finished second in that category in 2000. He earned a bachelor's degree in business marketing in 2001, and a master's degree in educational administration and supervision in 2004.[9] Coaching career[edit] Durkin began a career in coaching immediately following his playing career. He worked as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green under new head coach Urban Meyer in 2001 and 2002, and at Notre Dame under head coach Tyrone Willingham in 2003 and 2004. He returned to Bowling Green in 2005, where he coached defensive ends, linebackers, and special teams on the staff of Gregg Brandon. In 2007, he moved to Stanford on the first staff of Jim Harbaugh, where he served for three seasons as the Cardinal defensive ends coach and special teams coordinator. In 2010, Durkin was reunited with Meyer when he joined the Florida Gators as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator. He remained on Florida's staff when Will Muschamp took over as head coach in 2010, and in 2013 was promoted to defensive coordinator, replacing Dan Quinn.[1][9][10] Durkin has a reputation as a strong national recruiter and was named the 2012 Rivals.com Recruiter of the Year.[11] On November 22, 2014, Durkin was named interim head coach for Florida's bowl game after the previous head coach, Will Muschamp, announced he would step down following the regular season.[12] Durkin led Florida to a 28–20 victory in the 2015 Birmingham Bowl against East Carolina.[13] On January 5, 2015, sources confirmed that Durkin was hired as the defensive coordinator of Michigan.

Following a scandal involving the death of a player and reports of a toxic team culture, Durkin was fired by Maryland midway through the 2018 season.[17] On January 2, 2020, Ole Miss announced it had hired Durkin as an assistant to head coach Lane Kiffin, along with Chris Partridge and Joe Jon Finley.[18] On January 5, 2022, it was announced Durkin would become the new defensive coordinator at Texas A&M under Jimbo Fisher.[19] Player death at Maryland and resulting scandal[edit] On August 11, 2018, Durkin was placed on administrative leave after Maryland was placed under investigation amid toxic culture allegations against the team after the death of player Jordan McNair.[3] McNair was hospitalized on May 29, 2018 after showing signs of heatstroke and exhaustion while participating in a team workout, and later died at the age of 19.[20] He returned 80 days later, after the Board of Regents recommendation to stay.[4][21][22] Damon Evans, the athletic director, announced the Board of Regents' decision to the team with Durkin present; Durkin later held a meeting with the team without other coaches, and several players walked out of that meeting.[4] Due to intense backlash, Durkin was fired one day later.[17] Head coaching record[edit] Year Team Overall Conference Standing Bowl/playoffs Florida Gators (Southeastern Conference) (2014) 2014 Florida 1–0[n 1] W Birmingham Florida: 1–0 Maryland Terrapins (Big Ten Conference) (2016–2017) 2016 Maryland 6–7 3–6 5th (East) L Quick Lane 2017 Maryland 4–8 2–7 6th (East) Maryland: 10–15 5-13 Total: 11–15 Notes[edit] ^ Durkin coached the 2015 Birmingham Bowl after head coach Will Muschamp was fired following a 6–5 (4–4 SEC) regular season.

  9. i just deleted it. is this my day in the barrel with you?
  10. and i have to wonder about any military vet who supports ol bonespurs.it is a slap in the face to those who served. but he can hug a flag well huh?
  11. Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more Republicans don’t give a **** about our troops watch what they do, not that they say Jeff Tiedrich Jan 30 READ IN APP on October 4, 2017, four US soldiers involved in special operations in Niger were ambushed and killed. how did Commander-in-Chief Dickface von ****stain react? he told the parents of the slain soldiers that “they knew what they signed up for” and then engeged in a petty twitter spat with a grieving widow. then he went on TV to praise himself and brag about how he handled the situation better than Obama would have. he also disavowed any responsibility for the soldiers’ mission. not one Republican said a word about President Digrace’s callous actions. Upgrade to paid in conversations with his chief of staff John Kelly, Trump referred to prisoners of war as “suckers” because “there is nothing in it for them,” and called soldiers killed in action “losers.” not a single Republican — not even one — criticized these remarks. in 2019, the US Navy had to hide an entire ******* warship, the USS John S. McCain, because they knew that Commandant Bone Spurs would throw a s***-fit if he saw it. every Republican remained silent. in November 2018, world leaders gathered at a cemetary in France to honor the memory of US soldiers killed while fighting in World War One. at the last minute, Donald Trump blew the whole thing off, because it was drizzling lightly and he didn’t want that ******-up rat’s nest of cotton candy bull**** on top of his head to get wet. instead, he spent the day rage-tweeting from his hotel room. every Republican stuck their heads in the sand and pretended not to notice. in October 2018, Trump abruptly pulled US troops out of Syria. our Kurdish allies were left defenseless and got ******* slaughtered. US military bases and hardware that were abandoned ended up in the hands of Russia. weird how everything Agolf Shitler does somehow ends up benefitting Putin. this episode was so egregious that Liz Cheney and Lindsey Graham actually spoke out. every other Republican stuck their fingers in their ears and went LA LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU. now check out this atrocity: isn’t Donny charming? “why do you bring people like that here? no one wants to see that, the wounded.” what a cold-hearted inhuman dick. not one Republican criticized Trump’s abhorrent behavior. a couple of days ago, three US soldiers were tragically killed in a drone attack in Jordan, and — as if by magic — Republicans who remained silent during Donald Trump’s four-year reign of incompetence and disrespect suddenly found their voices. in fact, they will not shut the **** up about it. the ****faces who didn’t say s*** when four soldiers died in Niger are now clutching their pearls and falling all over their fainting couches. they’re spewing the same old predictible bull**** all over Newsmax and Fox News. how could Joe Biden have allowed this to happen? Joe Biden hates our troops. IMPEACH! IMPEACH! they’re calling for Biden to rain down bombs on Tehran, like, this very minute — because as we all know, going off half-cocked and indiscriminately bombing the s*** out of a country without first pausing to create a strategy always works out just find and dandy for everyone involved. just ask the people of Iraq. get ready for a dozen Benghazi-style show trials. it’s all ******* noise. it’s all election-year bull****. sound and fury, baby! want to know how Republicans really feel about the troops? here: here, from July 29, 2022, we have a bunch of GOP Senators fist-bumping. why? because they just blocked a bill that would have expanded healthcare coverage for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their service. because nothing says “we support our heroes” so much as “just ******* die.” and of all the shitheads currently caterwauling about how Sleepy Brandon has mIsMaNaGeD MiLiTaRy rEaDiNeSs, do you know who needs to **** all the way off? Tommy ******* Tuberville, that’s who — look at this stunning bit of hypocrisy: we’ve “gone downhill with our military”? gee, I wonder how that could have happened. maybe if the failed ****stain football coach who happens to be named Tommy Tuberville hadn’t thrown a hissy fit and blocked every single goddamned military promotion for almost a year, the military might be in better shape right now. allow me to close with something I wrote last Veterans Day — because it was true then, it’s true now, and it will remain true until the heat death of the universe. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.
