I guess one difference is that the Dazzler was the Dazzler.

McCray specifically said it was Quinn that helped him improve so much.

And yeah he could be good, but he could not.

Let's hope he's solid so he stay for at Least 3 years.

Well, the situations must be equivalent then. Has nothing to do with Durkin's competence, with his contribution to game prep, with his success coordinating the special teams or developing his linebackers.

Trusting CWM has worked so far, DJ must be ready if Coach is handing him the reins.

Oh I agree it could be different its more the "he paid his dues its his time" thing I was objecting to. Also his defense the Dazz was one hell of a line coach and did help in the areas you mentioned.

Plus Muschamp is going to be working along side him. Unlike the Dazzler, who was running the show by himself for a season.

#UF may hire Vernon Hargreaves II as its special teams coordinator & defensive ends coach. He held same position at #USF last year. -Zach's Twitter

hmmm...

I would have no problem with that hire (I know my opinion doesn't matter) . I was just searching last week to see if VH2 had taken another job.

DJ Durkin deserves a shot. It will be a matter of time before he gets plucked for another job. The Gators might as well tap into his expertise before he picks up and leaves for another school that will give him better opportunities. I believe Will Muschamp thinks the same thing. He supports his coaches taking opportunities wherever they may be.

Pretty sure WMC is to UFs D-coordinator what Chip Kelly was to Oregon's O-Coordinator. Not worried.

I have never been a fan of hiring family members of players. Heck, I would never want one of my kids to work for me.

gatorbogey · 01-17-2013, 03:04 PM

DJ will be learning the ropes from one of the best, imo: Muschamp.
we might have some misses and bumps along the way. and most likely once DJ becomes damn good for us, he'll be head coaching or nfl dc mat'l - and likely moving on himself! ouch!

Alternative will be to hire another guy who will stay for 2 years and bolt.

DJ will probably be gone in 2 -3 years

phideltdj · 01-17-2013, 03:07 PM

Maybe if I wash towels for the UF football team in two years I could parlay that into a coordinator position for another program. UF has become a stepping stone program for coaches lately.

I think those two could handle it plus he is not VH3 position coach. I would still like to have a NFL guy like Travis Jones of New Orleans but VH2 would make a lot of sense.

I think we need to find another DL line coach and ST coach as well. Could be an intriguing hire. Gotta be careful hiring family members though.

Actually, I'm not. We don't need a learning curve assistant during what will most likely be a serious shot at a NC season in 2013. We needed an experienced veteran coaching the D next season.

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