Auburn's search boils down to whether or not Sumrall and Durkin can coexist

Auburn is fumbling this. They have Sumrall if they want him. But Auburn gonna Auburn.

Logic wise, if Sumrall doesn't want to be told to keep Durkin at AU, then isn't he being told to keep Golding at Ole Miss?

My guess is he sees Durkin as the usurper type, which he is

They’re so screwed. Telling a coach you have to keep this guy? I’m sure that’ll go well.

I was bitching about this last week when it was floated the all candidates had agreed Faulker out of GA Tech as the OC. I wondered what he was being hired for if he has no say in the hiring of his coordinators. The response I received was maybe the AD didn't trust him not to bring over his staff from Tulane which dumbfounded me because WTF are you hiring a guy if you don't trust his judgment

I think there would be a collective meltdown if Durkin was promoted to HC. He's liked well enough as a DC and many believe if he bolts, the incoming class goes up in smoke.

Durkin has two more years on his three year contract. He doesn’t have to stay, but if he goes then someone has to pay that.

It doesn’t seem to occur to many that maybe the new coach wants him to stay.
