Sounds like Durkin is replacing Elko at A&M. Woof of a reality check for Lane and Ole Miss to lose most of the staff. Ole Miss must not be approaching/exceeding 1 mil type salaries for assistants.
They have a bit of a problem because they were recently paying four DC at the same time. They owed Wesley McGriff money through January 2021 and owe Mike MacIntyre through the end of this month. Those guys are both being paid what Ole miss owed them minus their current salaries, but Ole Miss was still on the hook for them.
This year,
D.J. Durkin and Chris Partridge were making $700,000 and $625,000 a year through Jan. 31, 2022.
DJ Durkin spent a year with the Atlanta Falcons as a "consultant" and then got the Ole Miss gig as a global pandemic started. Now he's going to TAMU and has hit pay dirt yet again. I'm all about second chances, but Durkin really didn't have much of a punishment other than having some fake job with an NFL team for a year before he got back into the game. A Maryland player actually died, and this guy has been a well renowned meathead since he was a player himself at Bowling Green.
So the people having blowouts in their diapers about NIL for the players can go kick rocks.
