Good grief...

Ole Miss hires DJ Durkin as assistant

 

[57stratdawg]

Going to be some long days for those Rebs in the MS heat.....

 

[MSUDC11]

They have fully embraced their role as the villain.

 

[The Situation]

More and more I think about it, Kiffin is not going to be a great hire for them. He will do ok, but never anything special. I don't really think he 'is' what they thought he was going to be. He's not a whole lot different from Moorhead honestly.

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

Don't worry. Mamas will be ok sending their son to compete under a coach that killed a player when Chris Partridge hands over a few Visa gift cards.**

Ole Miss DGAF.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

They also hired Chris Partridge from Michigan and Joe Jon Finley from Texas A&M.

OJ Simpson is expected to be hired later this week***

 

[philduckworth]

They are going to be very formidable in recruiting. Good staff, zero scruples.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

He's a definitive hard ***, but probably not a good one. There's a difference in being a Mullen like *** hole and a Durkin type *** hole.

 

[civildawg88]

They are putting together a heck of a staff football wise

 

[Shmuley]

No pants Lance (Thompson) may join that staff. They will pound JoMo’s yankee *** in recruiting.

They won't pound Hud.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

It’ll be funny to watch Neal walk back his Durkin take from a year or two ago. He basically called Durkin a pariah and said he shouldn’t be coaching college football.

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

Have they petitioned to get jerry Sandusky released yet?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

They won't pound Hud.

It's absolutely uncanny how despised this staff will be, and also how impotent MSU will be to capitalize on it.

 

[IPMdawg]

If they can’t get him they may go after Zach Smith the Ohio State wife beater.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

and bring Art Briles on staff

 

[mcdawg22]

I don’t see how. Every recruiter is going to say, do you want your son eating breakfast watching serial killer videos? It could really be problem, hopefully.

He'll fit in great with a crowd that really isn't what they think they are anyways.

 

[WilCoDawg]

They’re trying to slowly open the door for Freesus’s return to the staff.

Whoever recruits O-lineman for us should be in every kid's house talking to momma about how Ole Miss' new assistant sat idly by why a player died. How does this not kill them in recruiting?

 

[PineGroveBully]

I’m waiting for a Richie Incognito announcement as OL/Ppl skills coach

Jokes on you*** we’ve already hired an OL coach.

An honest question, as I have no intention of trying to defend Durkin or his hire, but why do you specify Off Linemen? Is it because that’s what the player at Maryland was?

The reason I ask that, is because if you’re going to play that card as a coach, I don’t see why you wouldn’t play it for every player.

 

[Felonious Junk]

Killer hire

Exactly because the kid who died was an O-lineman. But you're right. I'd make sure every recruit that we and OM are contending for had as much information about Durkin and that situation as possible. I honestly thought he'd never get hired at the college level again. Kiffin is stupid or desperate but neither is a good look.

 

[The Situation]

Killer hire

Very underrated

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

they gonna try and get Sandusky to coach from prison too?*
