Rudocks development is to QB recruiting as Durkin to Maryland is for Coach Recruiting

Submitted by kawter on
So other than the ridiculously long thread title.
If it is true that Durkin is getting a legit power 5 after 1 year you'd think it ups our chances to get legit coaching talent going forward. We may not keep them 10 years but that problem should take care of itself.
As hard of a pill as it is to swallow to see him leave so soon it could be a very great thing for us long term

--edit. I fixed the title here was the drunk one for posterity and negs

Never saw a Hoke-coached team get absolutely embarrassed like that, certainly not against our main rival.

I saw him go into East Lansing on national TV, get spanked, then apologize for putting a metal spike in the field. That was pretty embarrassing.

If you want to turn this into a Harbaugh vs. Hoke debate, go right ahead. It's not even close.

Not quite. Durkin was interim HC at Florida if I'm remembering correctly and therefore didn't exactly start at square one of the job ladder with Harbaugh.

and they cant find anyone worth getting then put Mattison back at D-coordinator. Give him a respectable linebacker and d-line coach. There are options for this team no matter what, just going to have to spend more money is all. Needless to say UM has enough of it from what I always hear. If Durkin stays I would get a linebackers coach though to help him out. No offense to him or the current linebackers but they have a long way to go now. Losing 4 seniors here people and a ton of playing time.

NO. I am sorry but Mattison is a below avg DCat this point in his career. The guy plays 12 yards off the WR's on 3rd and 5 and refuses to play press. Mattison plays a bend but don't break scheme, which broke much too often. The guy is a position coach. If Harbaugh though he was capable he wouldn't have demoted him for a different scheme. Give it a rest with the Mattison idea, it would hurt the defense more than the camaraderie would help.

Durkin would fall under the Urban Meyer coaching tree.  Coaches will come to Michigan because it is a top job and we are willing to pay coordinators top money.

Wiltfong just posted that he is predicting Durkin will be the new Maryland Coach.  Said it's not for sure, but based on what he's hearing that his gut feeling.  TIFWIW.
