He's damaged goods right now. He'll likely end up in the NFL doing something (coaching or analyst work) or in the "Nick Saban Coaching Rehad Program". I doubt he ends up on a college sideline for a few years, until this situation passes over. Hugh Freeze had to disappear for a few years and even got blocked from the Nick Saban Rehab program (he's supposed to be the OC for the Arizona AAFL team this spring).

Bring him back as an asst asap. Grantham will need to be replaced soon enough.

Too risky for a school like UF to touch Durkin right now. Let him lay low for a few years and then resurface somewhere. As much as I am not in the Cousin Eddie camp, he would have me take a step in his direction if he were to can Joe Lee Dunn Jr. and for that matter, the entire defensive staff.

I have hope that Grantham will take a job somewhere like UCONN or something similar.

Kinda like Side Hat.

He’s not the worst though, but it won’t take long before he will have worn his welcome out.

As much as I'd like to see that happen, Grantham seems content with being an assistant coach. If it did happen, I'd like to see Mullen bring in Martinez from Miami. Then again, Martinez could soon be a head coach.

Todd would be a disaster as a head coach. Some guys just aren't cut out for HC material. But then again that hasn't stopped certain guys from getting those jobs.

I think this would be the prevailing sentiment amongst the powers that be. Rendering this a moot point.
Personally, I could go either way. If they bring him in, fine. If they don't, that's fine too.

I'm not ready to give up on Grantham. The defense is highly inconsistent, but you're thin in the backfield and not generating enough pressure up front. I want to see what he can do next year. Really, the whole coaching staff. I'm pretty much giving everyone, Mullen included, a reprieve for this year. There's a lot of toughening up to do with this team. But next year you own it.

Your thoughts....

I think we need a change.

How do you think Durkin would do with our Sunbelt LBs and Safeties?

There a lot to be said for continuity. All we have had for decades is a revolving door of DCs.

One more year? Not a fugging chance. This scrap heap doesn’t get cleaned up in year two. This administration is easily in for 5 years with Mullen. What is it with this Mullen sucks, Grantham sucks echo chamber? What these coaches have done with this group of Butters specials is almost miraculous. Are the pumpers afraid of the inevitable facepalms and dislikes from the dumpers?
