Durkin is legit.
Has been endorsed by Harbaugh, Meyer, both winners, and now Muschamp, on his way to being a winner.
For Harbaugh he coached Ends and ST, and here he took Jelani, Bostic, and unheralded Morrison and made them all studs. Both kickers under his tutelage were All-Americans this year, Florida rarely if ever surrendered return yards to other teams and at times have been explosive in returns themselves.
See this post for more on Durkin: http://www.alligatorarmy.com/2013/1/...ve-coordinator

VHII has a damn good coaching resume. He was at Miami and coached some pretty good LB's.

I'm not worried at all, durkin will be gone in 3 years mark my words... Why? Simply because Muschamp will groom him to be one of the best D Coordinator...

The good thing is that we will be in the same defense system without changing again and I think champ will have his hand on it more than he did last year. I just hope were more aggressive with blitz' this coming year. My concern is now that we lost Quinn, that means were down 1 coach. Is d.j gonna do st or linebacker + d cordnator???? We need to hire 1 more coach just to make up for the staff

Then he should cut his teeth with Bowling Green...not the Florida Gators.
Steve Spurrier is thrilled with this hire.

It's a good hire.
This is Muschamp's defense, and that's not going to change. If you bring in somebody from the outside, either they, or the entire defense is going to have to learn it from scratch. This way the scheme won't have to be learned by anybody, and Durkin has been consistently talked about as one of the best coaches (and recruiters) on the staff.
Didn't Meyer want him as the Co-DC at OSU?

Because it was something I think we lacked last year(pressure on the qb). Quinn/champ did a great job of total defense obviously but personally they like to rush just our 4 down lineman and get pressure that way but I think more blitzing and getting pressure on the qb especially with Floyd/Elam/bostic/Jenkins gone we need take away the time for qb to pick us apart....IMO

Didn't know much about him aside from being VH3's dad, good to hear that.
Has he officially been hired?

I think we did a decent job with rushing 4. I do understand where you are coming from but I dont think the philosophy will change. We should have a better pass rush with 4 in 2013.

This wasn't a wise promotion IMO, but I hope Durkin proves me wrong.

Muschamp is in control of the defense so its a safe promotion. Durkin knows what's expected and they have a great working relationship.

I agree he'll be gone most likely but I assume you mean for a head coaching position.

Seemless - Smooth - Uneventful - Obviously expected due to swiftness of decisions - I like it as we're back to normal in the time frame of two hours.
