Durkin turned down the TAMU DC position because he wanted to wait & find out if his old hoops buddy Harbugh would get the UM job.

My choices would be Aranda from Wiscy or Odom from Missouri (who may have just been hired by Memphis or someone, I can't remember).
But Durkin ain't leaving this year.

We could do far worse, IMO.
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:36 AM ^
But Shafer could do far better, on a personal level, than backtrack in his career. He'll either go to the NFL as a coordinator or take a HC position at a smaller school.

Syracuse D is ranked in the 100s this year - I dont see the appeal.

What about Gene Chizik?
He's done a pretty good job at UNC this year.
If their offense actually did something against a 3-9 South Carolina team in their season opener, they would be 12-0 and #2 right now and this ACC title game would be #1 vs #2.
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:03 AM ^
It'll be a HC somewhere...he's already interviewed at a number of schools this year (UCF, Syracuse, etc).
No chance.
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:07 AM ^
Auburn fans are in complete denial.
They fired Chizik and hired Malzahn. Malzahn is showing Brady Hoke syndrome as he had a great first year and is getting worse each year.
8-5 his second year which included a loss to retired-ish Barry frickin Alvarez and now 6-6 this year.
Their program is run by assistant coaches. They fired one for another and will probably be looking for another coach next year.
December 2nd, 2015 at 12:58 PM ^
If he doesn't have the right QB (Nick Marshall), the system falls apart.

AZ advanced stats are in the 100s on D. Thats Indiana//rutgers levels. Its hilarious how bad that D is.
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:37 AM ^
That schedule is peak RR right there.
Beating a team you shouldn't beat in a big upset and then doing jack shit against medicore teams, often getting embarrassed when your ballyhooed offense doesn't show up to stumble to a 6-loss or more season and inevitable bowl game embarrassment.
Thankfully this qualifies as a good season at Arizona.

in Big12. They run spread and whoever comes out of that conference should know how stop it.
So, who is the best DC in BIG12?
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:24 AM ^
December 2nd, 2015 at 11:25 AM ^
Oklahoma has the best D in the B12 right now. Not going to make a lateral move - OK is a blue blood in the playoffs.
December 2nd, 2015 at 12:39 PM ^
If Durkin leaves, we need a LB coach. I would move GM to Co-DC and biring the LB coach and make him Co-DC as well.

If it guaranteed that Brady Hoke could be our DL coach, I'd be cool with moving GMatt to DC.
December 2nd, 2015 at 12:34 PM ^
December 2nd, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
Why? He may be the nation's best DL coach. No one can confirm who's actually #1, but Hoke would instantly be in contention for that.

One guy out of left field (and yes I know Texas D is down this year) is Vance Bedford who was here in 2007. He is pretty loyal to Strong but Louisville had a good D with him and Strong, and Texas D was good last year even as the O was horrid. That D also held Oklahoma down this year. Texas also has to deal with those wacky B12 offenses so spread wont be foreign to him.
