So why did we hire the guy then ?
Riddle me that.

I would think this hire would be done pretty soon like in the next week. I like the choices of VH2 or Travis Jones.

I Like VH2. Has coached both LB's and DE's elsewhere.

I think I'd bet on Muschamp...

He's coached DEs before as well at stops prior to UF. And he's one hell of a recruiter.

Pretty much irrelevant comparison. I think I would bet on the team with the best players.

I know you're not comparing Boom to Spurrier right, because that'd be crazy.

Good for recruiting and because he might be ready for a fulltime role eventually.

Well, we had one who had won a Heisman trophy, and he's done okay.

Again, I'm not saying he's not a good coach. Only that his physical prowess in the NFL doesn't guarantee him being a great coach. Moreover, just because he might not be as good as Quinn, it doesn't mean he is unhirable.

if you are "loyal" that qualifies you for the defensive coordinator job?

Coach Durkin has paid his dues and is our best recruiter and will help with Muschamp's defense. It is still Muschamp's defense and no change in philosophy is necessary.
Coach Quinn was a pro coach and wouldn't have been here long anyway and probably did not embrace recruiting like Durkin. Quinn is a great communicator before the players and press and will be missed, but his heart was elsewhere and the pay raise at Seattle will probably double his salary.
My main concern now is that we don't lose Young who was coached by Quinn and seems to relate to DE's and DL's and has a great resume as an NFL player.

Durkin is our best recruiter and has excelled as a position coach so I say good promotion. Mushchamp is the main D - coach anyway you slice it.

DJ was the very first UF coach that I met. He came across as inteligent, driven and the kind of man that I would like to have working with my son. I'm very happy for him to get this promotion, but as I texted him, he will be missed on special teams. UF's focus on excelling at all aspects of special teams was evident in most of our wins this past season. It's more that Kyle being able to boom a 50-60 yard punt, it's teaching the guys on ST how to cover! Same w/ kick offs and returns. Like I've perviously said about punting, there's more to it that the average fan will ever know or understand.
Congrats DJ! I wish you nothing bet success!

If the team plays as well as I think it will the next two years DJ should be in line for head coaching job. It will probably not be as big as some people think he deserves but he will probably take it (fans thought the Kentucky job was too small for Pease which is laughable). I could maybe see him taking another DC job but it would have to be at a school like Texas or Ohio State.
