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. The hire reunited Durkin with new Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.[14] Michigan confirmed the hire on January 8, and announced that Durkin would also coach linebackers.[15] On December 2, 2015 ESPN's Joe Schad announced that Durkin was expected to be named head coach of the Maryland Terrapins football team,[16] which was confirmed later that day.[2] Durkin would lead the team to a bowl game appearance in his first year. 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.

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.

al.com Auburn to hire former Texas A&M DC, Maryland head coach DJ Durkin as co-DC Updated: Jan. 29, 2024, 10:36 p.m.|Published: Jan. 29, 2024, 9:32 p.m. ~4 minutes Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers may have found their second co-defensive coordinator. Former Texas A&M defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin is set to fill the void left by Ron Roberts, who left as Auburn’s defensive coordinator for a spot on Florida’s defensive staff on Jan. 8. He’ll reportedly join forces with Charles Kelly, who was hired as the Tigers’ co-defensive coordinator on Jan. 12. Durkin, who has been in the college coaching ranks for more than 20 years, is set to come to Auburn after spending the 2022 and 2023 seasons in College Station as the Aggies’ defensive coordinator and linebackers’ coach. In Durkin’s first season at Texas A&M, the Aggies’ defense led the nation in fewest passing yards allowed per game with a season average of just 156.2. The Texas A&M defense also ranked 17th in the country and fourth in the SEC in passing defense efficiency, while also ranking No. 22 in the country after allowing 20.7 points per game. Prior to his time at Texas A&M, Durkin spent two seasons under Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss. Durkin was also an assistant at Florida in 2010-14, serving as the Gators’ linebackers and special teams coach (2010-12) and defensive coordinator (2013-14). During him time as Florida’s defensive coordinator, Durkin led the Gators to back-to-back top-15 rankings in total defense. The reported addition of Durkin means Auburn’s defensive coordinator will also come with head coaching experience as Durkin was previously at the helm of the Maryland program for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. However, Durkin’s time as head coach ended in controversy following the death of Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair. McNair collapsed during a workout, was hospitalized with heat stroke and died two weeks later. After initially being suspended following McNair’s death, Durkin was reinstated, only to be relieved after public outcry one day later. Months after Durkin’s firing from Maryland, he resurfaced during a brief stint at Alabama, where he served in a consultant-like role to help the Crimson Tide prepare for its Orange Bowl national semifinal appearance. Prior to him being let go at Maryland, Durkin compiled a 10-15 record with the Terrapins, while also finding success on the recruiting trail. During Durkin’s time in College Park, he and the Terps secured back-to-back top 30 recruiting classes for the first time in program history. According to 247 Sports, Durkin was the primary recruiter for 5-star offensive tackle DJ Humphries and 5-star Jonathan Bullard — both of who still play in the NFL after careers at Florida. Durkin has also had a hand in landing 14 4-star recruits during his time in the college ranks and was named Rivals’ Recruiter of the Year in 2012. With Durkin on board, Freeze and the Tigers have replaced the two defensive coaches that departed The Plains in Roberts and defensive backs coach Zac Etheridge, who announced his resignation on Jan. 12 and is expected to take a role at Houston. Wesley McGriff is also set to return to Auburn as the team’s defensive secondary coach after he previously flirted with taking a job at Texas A&M.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Walker White ranks top-five in 247Sports' final 2024 quarterback rankings Taylor Jones ~2 minutes Auburn football’s 2024 signing class is special. The Tigers have landed quality talent at wide receiver, such as five-star Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson. The guy who will be throwing passes to those stud wide receivers is not so bad himself. 247Sports recently released its final rankings for the 2024 class, and quarterback signee Walker White is among the nation’s best at the position. White is considered to be the fifth-best quarterback in the class, which makes him the highest-ranked quarterback signee for Auburn since Bo Nix, who was the No. 2 quarterback in the 2019 class. White is considered to be a four-star quarterback by 247Sports’ standards. He is the No. 41 overall player for the 2024 class and is the top player from the state of Arkansas. As a senior at Little Rock Christian Academy, White passed for 2,660 yards and 29 touchdowns while rushing for an additional 834 yards and eight scores. White is one of three SEC signees to earn a top-10 ranking from 247Sports, joining Florida signee DJ Lagway and Georgia pledge Ryan Puglisi.

si.com What Would It Take For Auburn To Reach The College Football Playoff In 2024? Lance Dawe 4–5 minutes The Auburn Tigers won't be near any playoff conversations this offseason. With the College Football Playoff expanding to 12 teams, the Tigers could find themselves near the conversation soon, however. Hugh Freeze is doing everything he can to improve Auburn's talent roster, and the momentum on the recruiting trail is giving fans hope. Let's say Auburn somehow finds themselves in the CFP hunt in 2024. What would it take for the Tigers to make it? Here are five things that will need to happen. A much improved passing attack Auburn ranked dead last in the SEC in passing yards per game in 2023 (162.2 YPG) and will look to dramatically improve that number in 2024. Whether or not the young receiver talent takes off in Freeze's second season will likely be answered through his scheming, but the Tigers still have solid pieces around the likes of Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson. Finding a quarterback that can actually get them the ball will be the biggest question. Incumbent Payton Thorne was subpar in his first season on the Plains, leading Freeze to claim the QB competition is "wide open" heading into the spring. Getting Thorne, newcomer Walker White, or someone else to lead the offense more effectively than a season ago will be paramount. At least ten wins Not slipping up in the non-conference schedule feels like it should go without saying. After the New Mexico State shocker last year, every non-con slate should be mentioned carefully mentioned moving forward. Alabama A&M, Cal, New Mexico (no State), and ULM seems easy on paper - we'll count those as wins for now. As for the SEC schedule: Arkansas Oklahoma At Georgia At Missouri At Kentucky Vanderbilt Texas A&M At Alabama There has to be at least six wins here for Auburn to make a case for the playoff. Remember, the 12-team College Football Playoff field will include the six highest-ranked conference champions, which will receive automatic bids. The top four teams will receive a first-round bye to the quarterfinals. The six highest-ranked teams remaining will round out the 12-team format. If the CFP expanded this past season the six at-large bids would have been Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Missouri, Penn State, and Ole Miss. All of those teams finished the regular season 10-2 or better. Auburn has to go 10-2 at worst to have a shot at the playoff. A competent rush defense One of the ways Auburn can improve to 10-2 or better is by shoring up their defensive front. The Tigers gave up 61 more rushing yards per game in losses than they did in victories. That is not going to cut it against Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama or Texas A&M. Auburn has to bottle things up better against, well, everyone - but especially against the toughest teams on their schedule. Speaking of that schedule... A big time conference victory No playoff resume is truly complete without a big win. Losing a game or two may not matter as long as a marquee victory is secured (sorry, Florida State). It could be argued that Auburn's four biggest games are the ones previously mentioned - Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas A&M and Alabama. If the Tigers go 4-0 against Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt (easier said than done), they have to at least go 2-2 in this stretch. Any combination of victories may work here. If Auburn goes 3-1 against the easier side of their conference slate it makes things much more difficult on their playoff chances. By the time Auburn plays Kentucky we should have an idea as to whether or not the Tigers are truly a contender. Getting through Oklahoma, Georgia and Missouri in consecutive games will be tough. Freeze's young talent taking off Remember those young receivers mentioned earlier? They're going to have to make some plays in big games. Highly touted defensive prospects like Amaris Williams, Demarcus Riddick and Jamonta Waller? They'll be given chances to prove their abilities. They're going to need to take off in order for the Tigers to win the games they need to if they want to make the playoff. There is also a world where Walker White trots out as the Tigers' starting quarterback to open the season. If he wins the job, he has to ball out. Plain and simple.
