Any word on if we rollin with Hutz or targeting a new DC?
- Thread starter MEMDawg22
- Start date
Hutz will not be the DC next year. Had to get through today first (signing day). Should hear something the next couple of days.
Justin Wilcox and Brent Pry are a couple of names to watch. No real inside information on that but some have speculated they could be targets.
Steve Gregory from Vanderbilt would be a homerun hire. Don't believe me. Go back and watch Vandy and Tennessee.
Vanderbilt is a blueblood.
Nevermind I thought he was let go from Michigan for some reason. He ain't coming here.
Why would he leave a 10-2 team for a 7-17 juggernaut fine tuned machine like ours?
Oddly enough I think he was actually named after THE Wink Martindale .
"The actor??"

lol. it literally was started on OM 247 by their insiders right after we flipped the 5* safety. it was meant to overshadow the 5* flip news and then make state fans feel bad for not getting the "primary" target DC. so now the story is state failed to get Durkin rather than state succeeded in flipping a 5*.
tell me which State insider actually floated Durkin as a real name? considering how tight lipped we've been - good luck.
Who are the best actual attainable. Thought dykes was gonna get fired and we were gonna get Briles for OC. Still think we could steal away from TCU on that.
Durkin is out
Brad white to Florida.
Should be some guys available with all the changes.

Can you link me to the story where we whiffed on Durkin? He was internet fodder for like 4 hours. Who cares?
Hutzlerās defense this year only allowed 13.9 points per game in the first half.
Excluding the last 3 games (Ole Miss, Missouri, Georgia), we averaged allowing only 9.6 points in the first half through the first 9 games.
I hear that we reached out to both but I donāt know if there is any returned interset
Just a casual observation but it seemed to me that our defensive scheme and coaching was vastly improved over last year. We always seemed to start games well but ran out of gas in the second half of games. I think our defensive woes were 25% poor conditioning and 75 % lack of quality depth. Lack of depth can be blamed on the coaching staff.
Who knows? I also did hear that one of our targets was coaching this weekend in a championship game, but I don't know who that would even be.
Defensive death spiral: Most three-and-outs in SEC + fastest pace in nation = Exhaustion.
Iām glad you picked up on this a little. Most donāt, or donāt care, or care to understand. It wouldnāt matter if Nick Saban was the defensive coordinator the past two years, we still have the same issue.
This has been the quietest firing of a DC ever. Must be working on an very high profile replacement.***
Heās got to add just a smidge of ball control to his offense or we need two complete defensive units capable of stopping SEC offenses.
Didn't see where he mentioned the DC directly in that statement...only that were going to be some changes in the next week, both on the staff and transfer portal.
