Golesh staff timeline comment/Durkin note

I'm told Alex Golesh will be meeting with current members of the staff starting on Monday. Evaluations and decisions will go from there. DeMarcus Van Dyke's hire will likely have an impact on Wesley McGriff. Sources indicate McGriff may move off the field. Jay G. and Caleb reported the other offensive hires earlier -- Co-OC Kodi Burns, Co-OC Joel Gordon, OL Tyler Hudanick, plus S&C coach George Courides. Also offensively, sources indicate as of tonight, current WR coach Marcus Davis hasn't been notified one way or another of his status. On DJ Durkin, he and Golesh met briefly late this afternoon and will meet again tonight.

keeping McGriff in an off the field capacity would be solid. don't mind if he has to go, but that's a big win if you can keep him around

I really hope it’s true that Auburn keeps everyone in the D staff. I’ve seen where McGriff was looking at moving off the field for a month or so.

It’s been a minute since I went twice in one night. Golesh is high T for sure.

He loves Auburn and DVD may have an impact on him staying on staff in some capacity

Yes. I'll edit it to say tonight to make it clearer.

Kodi has coached RBs before. Tbh I wish Golesh would put Kodi with RBs and get Pope from Tennessee

Didn’t you just say on another thread that Golesh had not met with any current staff? Now he met with Durkin this afternoon?

Not necessarily. DVD is one of the brighter, up-and-coming DB coaches, so, based on the timing, he was always going to be brought with Golesh. Durkin's say will come in being able to keep some of the assistants, but it isn't his program. It's Golesh's. Full autonomy should only exist for the HC.

that's been suggested before. He's only 57, but in today's world that's an older coach.
