Great for Freddie. Yea all the coaches are updating profiles/titles so looks like everyone got their official contracts worked out. Guess we'll see the numbers at some point later.

A DC with two co-DC's is unique.

Brent Venables does the same thing. IDK what the breakdown in responsibilities are
My guess, is title. Much like the Asst. Head Coach title. Gives the guy more money and will look good on a resume when it comes time to move up to the actual role of DC/OC/HC.

DC cant cuss out the D line coach.. because he’s the assistant head coach

Ole Miss is starting to look like Mississippi State under Croom: a lot of former Bama guys.

JMO but Cox product wasn't great. 81 and 45 were not good at blocking. His salary was 325K and that is low for any SEC assistant coach.
Lane probably trying to get Caleb Odom to follow the coach. Hope he crashes and burns.

Odom isn't following..he would've transferred earlier if he didn't like Cox being let go.

Very savvy move by Morgan and DeBoer here, get a lot of highschool/coaches near players to come to you and want to meet you. Good way to build some relationships while teaching your philosophies.
When Coach Saban came to town and started his clinic, HOLY SHIT at the number of HS coaches that came!! Upwards of 1200-1400+ and I’m not even joking! I came for several years in the beginning, even AFTER I got out of the coaching. By comparison, I attended Price’s clinic, Francione’s and Shula’s and they were AWFUL!!

Haven't attended any of them, maybe you should attend this one and tell us how it went!!!?? You're our inside man
I retired 2 years ago and at the time I last attended, they were requiring an updated state athletic association coaching card.

I would have been really mad if we hired Durkin as our DC. Not just because of the controversy either. The guy is stubborn as hell when it comes to adjustments in game and has had some real mediocre game plans. A&M fans couldn't stand him.

I would've rated the hire as C+ had Saban not retired. DJ Durkin is not a great playcaller at times. It reminds me of texas a and M game where he called, and his defense got burned that day.
