DC Hot Board will be posted once we confirm Hutzler firing - LOTS of names being thrown around. Some of them sounds like flushing out rats so I'm not sharing until we get confirmation Hutzler is gone.
Creating a table for us to track this. Please post if you're positive about retention / replacement.
I also give mods permission to edit this post if I get lackadaisical.
Let me know if I should add anything else to be tracked.

Posting what things I've heard and am greenlit to share, waiting for others to double confirm these things before adding to tracker.
Lebby is safe.
Tucker is safe.
Cooper is safe.
Bumphis is safer than safe.
Holocek could get replaced by Briles otherwise expect no offensive staffing changes except....
Hearing serious discussions about Loadholt. This is where the point of contention lies the most. Loadholt not getting a fair shake and it being a jimmies and joes problem. Remains to be seen how that shakes out. Likely staying is my inference - no word either way yet.
Hutzler will be gone. Barnes will be gone. Dancy will be gone. - these three are contingent on us lining up a perceived better DC hire. Speculation that we won't as in 25% we might not.
Odom is gone. Turner is gone. Bell is gone. These are gone regardless of Hutzler.

Can't keep him. Right or wrong. And I think getting rid of him is right. We were only slightly improved from last year. No reason why we shouldn't be a top 50 defense and that's not really a lofty goal for us.

As far as the offense goes we have 5 spots there and last year we had 6 spots for defense. I could see us using a defensive spot for an offensive coach and go with 6 coaches on offense and 5 on defense especially if we can find a ST coach that can coach a position on defense.
From the other thread:
I don?t have the sources some of you do, but I do have a guy that who told me that we were getting BOC before it ever happened. So there?s that. The same guy tells me that we have an offer in the table to Will Muschamp to be DC and are waiting on his response.
Now, my thoughts are that he?s not interested in returning to a full time coaching job yet, but that?s out there in the ether.
No. That wasn?t Bo Bounds that I got that from. It was from one of my physician colleagues who has some booster patients. FWIW.
This isn?t a rumor. It?s just something I want to point out.
Jeff Lebby was recruited to Oklahoma as a player and hired as a coach at Oklahoma by Bob Stoops. So, he has a strong connection with the Stoops family.
Now, I doubt Mark wants to go back to being a DC just yet. He will probably take a year off and collect his buyout without any offsets.
Could Brad white be a guy though?

Ok Tater, you're decently connected as well so maybe you've heard it in your circles. But where the hell was the Bumphis job being in jeopardy coming from? I haven't heard that from anyone I spoke to. I saw either On3 or GP saying that he was going to be let go. WR has been the least of our issues. And although Lebby did recruit Thompson and Evans, Chad got Craver and Coleman. I also think our WRs play pretty well. Their routes are pretty crisp and they know how to get separation.

Then you and I have heard the same. I've cobbled together that Brian Hadad apparently said something on a podcast that one of the potential staff changes would surprise a lot of people and I guess everyone ran with it that he meant Bumphis.

The biggest issue is the lack of growth with added talent. I love Kelly, but his growth in run defense was not there or really anywhere. We ranked 103rd in the nation in total D and our run D was 117th. This is why we are not an 8 plus win team this season. Based on that, how can you keep him?

There are better ways of evaluating improvement than relying on volume stats. My preference is EPA/play. The defense did improve from 97th in EPA/play in 2024 to around 51 in 2025. It was the difference in allowing 0.046 EPA/play in 2025 to allowing -0.021 EPA/ play in 2025.

I haven't been given DL name yet, but have heard the same on Holocek as you put in the other thread. Waiting for confirmation that Hutzler is out before making a DC hot board that could turn into wishcasting.

12-01-2025, 11:37 AM
Watching our D in person it was easy to see we lack talent still. It is a little improved but overall its just not there.
We cant tackle in space. Mississippi's WR's kept making us miss tackles while our fast WR's were unable to make them miss
Our LB's play hard but they are slow. Not much help to us in underneath coverage
Jones is a top notch cover guy- but the rest are not. 4 is toast on a plate and while Manning and Smith are solid- they arent AA's either. 15 is nothing to write home about either
When you are good at one part of defense- either against the run or the pass- you can scheme your way into hiding what you arent good at. When you are good at neither- scheme is now irrelevant. It's just try and guess what they are gonna do and hope they can defend it to not give up the big play. We were able to slow the run Friday- but in doing so we had to take chances on the back end and well, as we saw- they just abused us. Had we backed up the safeties to help over the top- they would have run wild on us

Yeah, we were pretty much drop 3 all day, and they found the mismatch everytime, they were motioning into the matchup they were looking for and it payed off.

Same. I have no confirmation on WHEN Hutzler will be out. Just that he will be out unless we have an 11th hour change. On DL, like I posted in another thread, Pernell McPhee is the name I have continually heard. I actually heard his name a lot last offseason which is why I was quite confident that Turner was being transitioned off the field.

This is the type of breakdown I like to read.
Nice post, coach. We sold out to stop the run and did for the most part. Or atleast the big explosive runs. But they killed us over the top. Actually should have been worse than the final outcome. Chambliss missed a few and they had some big drops. If that doesn't happen they might score 60 on our secondary. 40 against Brumfield.

I changed up how I'm presenting the table a bit and not gonna sit here and ascribe folks to their rumor. Maybe on DC Hot board when we get there or a name just has overwhelming legs. Lots of different names and I don't think we have a clear plan we're sharing yet.

No. His situation is still iffy. Womack wanted to come here. He likes Lebby and he likes Barnes, who may be the only defensive staffer to say. Womack committing isn't a decision on the DC one way or the other. We needed him, we probably overpaid a tad, but we got him.

I've asked a few people this morning and, while I'm waiting for one more to get back to me, the others have said that the Muschamp thing was nothing more than us calling and gauging interest. I do know that we'd have to keep Hutzler on in some form or fashion, probably STC. That's been confirmed by everyone I've asked about it. It would be a non starter for Will to come if he was straight up replacing Hutzler and putting him out of a job.

Golesh is adding defensive guys from USF. Not sure what capacity, but one would think that you announce the DC before others right?

After the year played out do we still think he was that great out of the portal? Genuinely asking because I did not see much of an improvement.
I think Muschamp would be a home run. Hiring on the way down worked for Saban, now I know getting the most out of guys was Sabans thing but I dont think replicating that is impossible. Whether Lebby has that leadership is yet to be seen but this upcoming year will tell us all we need to know about what hes learned running a program.
Barnes has also coached with Durkin as well. Both at Florida and Maryland.

Lotta folks running with Durkin rumor as of now. From my understanding we've had more conversation and contact with Muschamp. And I can confirm that it was us checking in and him politely declining. So don't run with this that either are serious contenders yet.
Not ruling out Durkin, but the narrative from him seems to totally be from OM spin about how State could flip a 5* DB. Nothing at all to do with the fact we paid market value AND have glaring holes, I mean excuse me, opportunities to start in our secondary from day 1. From what I've been told - this merry flipmas has been in the works for months and would have happened even if Durkin was named HC. (Hypothetical because we don't know Durkin's counter - but Auburn would have had to pony up more than they were.)

Again Durkin is fans wishcasting and OM spin to downplay the fact State flipped a 5* and got its best recruit since Simmons. It's also setting us up for disappointment if we don't get Durkin.
We lose the ****ing press conference to them every time. Please don't fall for it.
And as tight-lipped as most things are, I think we've plugged a lot of leaks in the program from what we had setup with Arnett. I like what we're doing on that front and what that can mean long-term even if that means short-term we're gonna have to be a little patient. I have no other news that's shareable beyond that currently.
Edit: do not take this as ruling Durkin out. Take this as - the conversations there haven't seriously begun. there's no rush to hire a DC before 1/1 (though it likely gets resolved before then). guys are shopping around and some want to be HC which means some will settle for being a DC. having a revolving door of DC promotions every year is not a bad thing so we're hunting for a riser not a settler.

It would be massive if we managed to get him.. I wanna say I read on Twitter earlier today that Golesh had already brought in a couple defensive assistants. Maybe I'm wrong there.. but if he has, then I would think Durkin is gone. A DC usually gets there own guys.

Kentucky hired Stein to be its next HC. Might not be a bad get. Hard to tell for me since he has so many offensive weapons at Oregon. Seems like anybody can score with those guys and the defenses they play against.

It would be a massive haul.
Which is why I'm not getting my hopes up. That's just out of our league good. Lol

It's kinda weird. If Durkin is staying, you would think they want that out there NOW. And I get that you think it's an ole miss ploy. I don't buy into those types of things because I'm not going to be mad or depressed if it's not Durkin. We are going to get an upgrade.

I?ve heard both Durkin is staying and he?s coming to State. As well as he?s just finishing out the recruiting class with them and coming here like he did with aTm before going to Auburn. Which is it? Lol

Yeah, same thought process for me. If we have a middle of the pack defense next year and a competent O line we could be big game hunting

You know what... your account has 139 posts in 5.5 years and like 20 of them are Durkin to DC.
You seem like a pretty clear case of astroturfing to me. Go be a ReBearSquirrelSharkLaneKiffinsDogActuallyTheUniver sitysDog on their board where you got this rumor and wouldn't shut up about it even though the most in the know posters for State are telling you it's wrong.

Well Tater I really hate burst your bubble here, but you?re absolutely wrong bud. Been a state fan my whole 34 years walking this earth. Sorry I ask questions because I read more than one site and don?t post all that often here. So you can take your accusations of me being an OM fan and shove it. Literally was being told by other people that I trust we were in it as well as seeing here we weren?t. I just wanted clarification. Jesus H I don?t troll that?s for the birds
