How do you know? He has never been a defensive coordinator. Quinn had only been a coordinator for one year (at Hofstra) before he came here.

I am good with this - Durkin has been loyal and he deserves to be rewarded.

I agree with you entirely.
I can see the boo-birds using this as ammunition though. Mind you, they'd find ammunition for anyone...
If it's true (lots of rumblings on social media amongst the Gator Reporteratii that it's the case) then I like it. Continuity. It's what we need above all else...

Time will tell. Although too many changed variables to accurately compare.
However, our Dline was probably the strongest it's been in a long time. Including a first rounder. And the emergence of McCray and Hunter can be attributed to Quinn,

I don't think it matters much as long as Muschamp is the head coach.

Why not Young? I agree that Quinn was very well-respected a line coach in the league and his coming here much to do with the impending work stoppage in NFL. But there is no way to tell how good of a coordinator Durkin will be. As I said in another thread, I think this means Muschamp takes a more active role in defensive game prep and calling signals.

If Durkin is DC, who coaches special teams?

Isn't this basically the sentiment that led to Addazio becoming the OC in 09?

Durkin was the LB coach and ST coach. Quinn was the DC but him and Young worked with the DL. Quinn is known as one of the best DL coaches in football. What FLorida will miss most his Quinn's work with the DL. So now we need another DL coach I would think. CWM might have a different idea
