Add Durkin Donuts to the Waffle House menus in Lee County; for 2 years anyway.

Or the “DJ Double Cheese” on the Jack’s Coaches Menu……

I agree with this. If he stays then Sumrall would likely be LSU's prime target. Not disputing elevating Durkin to HC at auburn, but IMO that would be a desperation hire to keep the existing staff and players. Grolesh the HC at USF, if he is still available, would be someone for Florida to at least talk with. Need to replenish my supply of Orville Redenbacher.

Golesh just agreed with terms with Arkansas, but May could back out for Florida

If any of Bama’s QBs jump in the portal, this could be a huge get for them.

Theyd be fools to go to oregon st

 

[Cruiser]

FWIW; ABC 33/40 reporting tonight Florida has offered Sumrall $10 million a year and "full control" of the football program.
We shall see

Florida could reportedly offer Jon Sumrall 8-figure salary

High-profile openings at Auburn and Florida are both possibilities for Sumrall, as well as a theoretical opening at Ole Miss.

Well, until they attract a billionaire family to start contributing to NIL. Players go to green these days no matter the landscape around the school.

They are ranked 42nd in NIL per On3... They need an venture capitalist to load them up!

Need to do something because they are going the way of Sewannee

If CLK is contacting potential coaches that might be a sequence in his decision process. See who’s available and willing to go with him.
IMO he should stay in Oxford if in fact $$$ isn’t a factor. His personality and the fanbase volatility when things go slightly sideways are not a good combination.

Florio also is a pot stirrer too. So take his “scoop” with a grain of salt.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

With Kiffin "dragging" this out, it just shows the content of his character. Not sure I would want that at Bama.

The angst on the SECRant Barn board is yummy; full meltdown over possible Durkin hire.

 

[arthurdawg]

Auburn and Florida have both shown they are clueless if the reports are true...

Auburn told Sumrall he'd have to retain Durkin and Nix...

Florida put a deadline on Kiffy and 'moved on'...

Good luck with that guys...

Auburn really thinks that they can retain this group of players if Durkin is retained in some capacity like they did when Hugh initially retained Cadillac. But the question has always been “why?”


Florida pretty much knew they were out of the running for Kiffin and moved on. I just don’t think kiffin was ever interested in them.

Yeah, perhaps he's not the most reliable but Kiffin said he's going to discuss things with Carroll and Saban. I don't know what Carroll will tell him but I'm pretty certain Saban will tell him to take the LSU job since Saban feels it's the best job available.

It’s a big decision, he could honestly be having trouble. It comes with the maturity.

Let them eke out a win tonight and that shifts 180 degrees.

Will Petrino land anywhere? What about Kelly? I could see Auburn going after either of those guys.

This insanity during the season has to end. All this upheaval and distraction during the season, at the height of the playoff race, can't be allowed to continue. Maybe any coaching changes should only be allowed during the portal windows...everybody moves around at the same time.

It is a big decision, and there is a chance he gets an opportunity to win an SEC championship, even a National championship this year with his current team. They are pretty good. So he has to weigh a decision that may have an adverse affect on this team this year. People can say what they want, but this is a hard decision. The here and now vs the possible better future opportunity .

But, you have to consider recruiting classes, the early signing period. IMO, The early signing period is the dumbest thing ever invented. I mean, let’***** the recruiting trail while preparing for our biggest rivals, conference championship games and the first round of the playoffs.

I do think they should adopt the NFL Rules about speaking to coaches from other schools.

From what we've heard Russell isn't close to being ready to be a starter. How much he can or will improve by next season is anybodys guess. But having the choice between a QB in Simpson who's proven hes a starter and a kid who so far isn't ready, DeBoer would be a fool to start a kid who (so far) has shown hes not ready and tell a kid who is a proven starter, hes not welcomed back. He turns down Simpson just to keep Russell and we go 7-5 with Russell as the starter, would be disastrous.

NIL and draft grade will form his decision

Who said DeBoer will tell him he needs to go?

I haven't heard one person propose that.

The decision is Ty's and only Ty's. If he gets the grade he wants/needs to be a round one draft choice, I suppose he goes and takes the "bird in the hand." But if he chooses to come back regardless, it's his decision.

We aren't running off Ty to keep Russell or Mack.

The question is if Ty goes pro, what happens? What's best?
