Talking about not winning anything yet. I ask this question about the drooling over Kiffin.

And add to it damage he leaves in his wake...

I think if you boil Kiffin down to the basics, he’s a14 year old boy.

This is, best for business.... Make it happen.

You guys get the feeling boogs putting all eggs in Durkin basket? Win and he’s definitely in.

Yep and they have been practiciing for bama for 3 weeks.

Oh, that would be so funny!

I was asking the other day how would you feel as an assistant given the choice of Auburn or Ole Miss? And UF joins the chat?

I still think he's their back up plan if Sumrall gives them a no. But Durkin beating Bama tomorrow would be a massive checkmark in his favor. In a perfect world, they want Sumrall and to keep Durkin too, but Sumrall hasn't agreed to that, and is wary of it from what I understand (as he should be). And in the end, that may be what sends Sumrall elsewhere.

Just a hunch here too, if Sumrall says no, I wouldn't completely rule out Dillingham. He'd keep Durkin. I think it would be a disaster, but it would be popular down there with many. Supposedly, his raise/extension isn't signed yet (for a reason).

Dillingham has put feelers out and the overall response was players will die for Durkin on the field.

Well played

I don't know if that's trustworthy. Or, he is. I came across AtoZ media this season. So far, it's been another SDS without the "bonafides." And SDS is more of an aggregate outlet than it is a news organization.

We all have known this was going to be a weird one. And, we all have known that for a long time. Hell, I started this thread September 7th it was so evident. Literally, three months before championship weekend.

You know how it works.. The dude probably got a text, and it's probably something major in terms of news... but that stuff happens a a good bit and often times it was either rumor that grew legs or something that eventually turns to dust. I've never seen his name that I recall... which doesn't mean anything, he could be plugged in very well. But I will say there's all kinds of wild "rumors" flying around out there.... some wilder than others, but still plenty flying...

Isn’t that what we want?

 

[Rolltide24]

This is like the person on Facebook that makes a post like “you won’t believe what I just heard”. Gotta love when these folks make these comments and give no useful info.

If I had X, I would post today “fortune teller just called and based on what she told me, the CFP field is going to get shaken and stirred soon”.

Durkin as their HC is what I want. And I'd much prefer they hire Dillingham over Sumrall if it was between them.

...to add.

I want it to drag on. To be specfic. I don't want them to make a decision, any of the three, until after mid night next Saturday.

I wish Kiffin would have said he'd make his decision next Saturday.

Well, if it ends up on Durkin and there is last minute panic and pushback? That may well happen. Cohen's apparent insistence on keeping him around is really odd for a number of reasons, but more importantly (to them), it's a massive gamble with little, if any, payoff yet potential huge loses if it costs them Sumrall (and others).
