If it's Lebby, who are the candidates for DC?
Durkin
Hoping Baylor will pull the plug on Aranda. He would be a great DCQuote:

Aranda will be at Baylor.
There is now talk that Durkin may survive. There is even talk that they promote their interim head coach. What a cluster f@ck.Quote:

It's amazing how bad they've handled their whole situation there... it's truly a thing to marvel...Quote:

Agree. Would think Allen would be a great combo of experience and great defenses in the past.Quote:

Allen would be a great recruiter here, too.
Yeah good pointQuote:

I agreeQuote:

Man I'd take Allen over just about anyone not named Kirby smart lolQuote:

Allen was so good at om and was about the only time they've had a decent defense and he was great at game planning against a teams strength and very good recruiter too. And his defenses are aggressive
Yes sir, I'd be on the phone with him Monday to see if he was interested.Quote:

There's going to be a lot of suitors for Allen and Durkin. Both of those are top DC candidates on the market.
Lebby has to build a staff pretty quick. When would he get to know his budget typically? Durkin makes 1.6 mil per year. He might sit out a year if they fire him and collect his money before making a decision. Durkin and Allen will be highly sought after as well, and command big money. I could see Lebby paying bigger money for a DC so he can focus more on the offensive side of the ball.
You can bet Lebby has reached out already to some DC's
Because Bjork somehow fell ass backward into one of the most powerful AD jobs in the NCAA. Literally unfathomable. The boosters obviously wanted an AD they could control.Quote:

Another guy I'd look at is Greg Gasparato at Troy.
Both are really goodQuote:

So were Arnett's this year....but he's a good DC and will land a good jobQuote:

Geoff Collins?
Looks like Durkin will be available if we want him.
Wasnt Durkin the dc at OM when Lebby was the OC? Can you imagine that egg bowl next year. Durkin knows Kiffens offense and Lebby knows Kiffen.Quote:

He’s already turning perry central around in one season. He’s the real deal. I also know he’s on this page. And posts.Quote:

Based on what he did at Bama I think he could be very valuable with recruiting and setting up our program from that standpoint.
