Why is his profile pic an out of focus, cellphone picture of what I assume is him holding an egg?

Not sure where to post this.

Apparently there were "rumors" about LSU coaching/assistant? causing drama? What's this about?

So Bobby Petrino as OC and DJ Durkin as DC for TAMU.

Zero shame whatsoever. I truly hope that Notre Dame NEVER becomes like this for as long as I draw breath on this Earth.

In Jiimbo's defense he needs the absolute best he can find at OC and DC because he sucks. Why Bobby Bowden gave him the reins at FSU is beyond me. He won a Ntl championship with Bobby's guys and then promptly ran that program into the ground. Without the best coordinators money can buy he will never win anything ever again. I still think he will fail either way.

dont see how a guy like Durkin can survive in the transfer portal era. Anybody who falls out with him can just leave at the drop of a hat

It was already a shit show at the fuck factory. Now it's just pissing on the ashes of the wreck.

Wisconsin with a “we are not the same” hire stealing a Minnesota coach for a similar title job.

This is all from memory, but I feel like Minnesota has lost a few coaches for seemingly lateral jobs over the past few years.

Didn't Durkin have a lot of players stick up for him after the Maryland incident and weren't the doctors (or lackthereof) found at fault for how the overheating was handled? Not sure why he gets such a bad rap. But Petrino is very recognizably scummy.

I dunno about "a lot." Maybe a few? There was a pretty thorough report about the way players were treated at Maryland that went way beyond the kid's overheating death. Some players walked out of the team meeting after Durkin was reinstated. Maryland fired him the next day.

The backlash at Maryland was internal as much as it was external. He was reinstated and had a meeting with players minus any other coaches. Several players walked out of that meeting before it ended.

He's been a well known asshole since his playing days at Bowling Green. He's coached under Willingham, Meyer, Muschamp, Harbaugh (twice), Kiffin and now Fisher.

All people held in incredibly high regard on this board, I'm sure.

I hate that Fickell went to Wisconsin. It adds another team in the Midwest that will be good on the recruiting trail. I would have preferred he stayed at Cinci until one of the big jobs opened. Put him at OSU/Michigan/Penn State, fine, we already compete against them. Put him at Wiscy and now we have another competitor.

Haynes is a super cool dude. Got a chance to talk to him at a clinic. Very gentleman like and helpful. Didn't seem too big for the little guys like me. I'll always appreciate that.

Keeley. Bowen. Moore. Edwards. Limar. Why should I be worried about Luke Fickell?

Every time there is a hire like this someone makes a claim as much that it's going to negatively impact ND. If it wasn't Urban Meyer, it was Jim Harbaugh, then Dantonio had a good Michigan State class or two and they all turned out to be felons. Once upon a time it was Ron Zook and that was a flash in the pan. Have PJ Fleck given Notre Dame any headaches while at Minnesota?

I'm not at all concerned as an ND fan about Luke Fickell being at Wisconsin.

Because we can't have nice things

Wisky going away from the man ball OL centric program they've been should actually help ND in recruiting i would say

There isn't but a few OC's I would put up there with Petrino for scripting the first 15 plays or so. It's the other 45-55 plays where Petrino turns average.

So one coach has now become 3 for Minnesota losing IN CONFERENCE. Something else has to be going on?
