With Auburn opting out, they should not be eligible for any bowl revenue sharing.


Auburn did not Opt-out of a bowl game. Kansas State (8-4), N. Dame (10-2) and Iowa State(8-4) all opted out. KS and IS were fined by the Conference. Teams with 5 win seasons, chose not to accept. that is an important difference. MSU took the bowl as they had a staff and returning players, Auburn did not have a staff and would have been impossible to implement an Offense in order to play. Also player opt outs would have been huge and would have forced more folks into the portal.
So none of you want Deuce K. or Cam C.? Great...

It’s weird to see two regular-season rematches in the first round of the playoffs.


It is actually stupid. This could have been so easily changed to prevent this.

No star, everyone is wrong at times. Hopefully we will not have a coaching search for 20 years. I do try to post with high confidence, nothing is 100% in this business (I have been wrong on this board). I do not have access to any true inside information, but sometimes you learn things. I stay away from paid Auburn sites as the writers occasionally get stuff right, but are too often wrong.

Bottom Line: I am just glad he is staying.

Durkin is not leaving. Not sure of the details, but this is good news for the staff, players, recruits and Auburn.

Honestly, you hire someone at 1:30 in the morning, how much was he actually being considered outside of lip service?


This had been going for days and possible weeks. The contract came after all the discussions, etc..
I assume this is because of the flip
He is wrong. There is no extension or new contract for DJ. DJ is already one of the highest paid coordinators in the country.

Sumrall 7.5/yr at UF, Golesh 7.4/yr at Auburn. Can we conclude that Cohen definitely screwed the Sumrall deal by trying to force Durkin now?


You did, but it would not be true. Sumrall was not hired after his agent jerked us around. We moved on. Gator fans are upset, with Billy Napier part 2

ETA: I am not a Cohen fan, but he got this one right and we were the first domino.

The rest of the story. Sumrall was coming, but agent wanted more. We offered more, but it became an auction (blame agent). Wife upset and does not want UF, they were in ole miss before.

Golish, got the offer and immediately accepted. No major negotiations.

Who knows what happens, but think Auburn played this one correctly.
It will not be Durkin. High authority.
Relax until Sunday, we will know the coach by then. Confident it is Sumrall with DJ staying on. Let's focus on the turds. Buck Fama.
Lots of openings, not many quality coaches.
