Turned down two offers from Mizzou and Hugh has made him the top target after an impressive interview

Thought he did a good job with a&M's defense last year, he's always been solid imo

Is Hugh going to call defensive plays if they win?

Damn auburn battling Mizzou for coordinators. Lol. At least y’all have that recruiting though. Don’t worry about the coaching part.

I would have been ok with Durkin as LSU DC. Glad we got Baker, though.

Personally, I think his results were pretty underwhelming considering the amount of talent that A&M had, especially on the DL. His schemes seem to play smaller, with a 3-3-5, which I don't think holds up against teams that can bully you up front.

Funny considering Saban tried to hire him and had brought him in to advise after he was fired from Maryland.

The OG Scumbag.

Go on ahead Auburn. I hope they win every regular season game next year. (Feels really weird to not care what Auburn does)

To be fair, LSU fans can't really make that joke

Fielded one of the worst run defenses I’ve ever seen his first year at A&M. That’s saying something considering the Mark Snyder era happened and he had a DL littered with high 4 and 5 star talent

Unless he’s officially changed it’s more of a 3-2-6. And you will not be able to stop the run if you’re down unless you have absolutely elite talent on the front 5.
