What’s your issue with DJ Durkin?
His defenses’ ranks in Yards per play (As DC):
Ole Miss:
2021: #61
2020: #115
Florida:
2014: #5
2013: #42
Michigan:
2015: #5
2014: #14 (before he was DC)
Bottom line: His defenses improved every year he was there. He has coached Top 5 defensive teams. He now has Top 5 defensive talent at Texas A&M.
Do I think he is as good schematically as Mike Elko? No. I think Elko was the best in the game, particularly at in game adjustments. However, Elko’s defenses usually came out kind of flat and then were playing lights out by the end of the game. Durkin will be more aggressive and bring more intensity as a coach.
We will see how it works out but you act like we hired the worst DC imaginable when he was one of the best available.
