I am going to keep bringing up his name. Former defensive recruiter of the year .Learned under Urban Meyer and is Kiffin's defensive coach. Linebacker coach under Meyer at UF. Yes he had some issues at Maryland because a guy died at practice and the students forced his firing .
If you hire Kiffin you get a great offensive mind. If Durkin comes with him you get a great recruiter and defensive coordinator who can recruit. The downside are the prior behavior issues with both. Jimmy Johnson was a hardass and threatened to take away a player's scholarship -he wasnt an example of political correctness. Manny is with his participation awards . .
Ole Miss is winning in the SEC. Mario is the safer pick because he is a straight shooter-a grinder . But you have to roll the dice over the staff he brings in. You already know what the major players on Kiffin's staff are about. That will be IMO the ins and outs of who comes here.
