  1. This is going to be my last Randolph Duke-esque screed on here and yes, I'm extremely ashamed of all of this. But this time with links! Since I got going on Steve Addazio the other day, I naturally drifted into DJ Durkin-land. When you go back and look at the old press on this guy, there are all these stories about how intense he is and the crazy shit he did. I suppose it’s all fun and games until some poor kid fucking dies on the practice field. After that, you just look like a lunatic. Which I'm fairly certain he is. But anybody want to take a wild ass guess who was on Urban Meyer’s toxic and final (2010) Florida staff with our boy Steve Adazzio? Yep, it’s our good buddy DJ Durkin who has put together quite the resume for a 44 year old. His ties to Urban go waaaaaay back to 2001 at Bowling Green, from where he had just graduated and caught on with Meyer as a GA. Timing is everything and it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. This was what his interview with Urban was like, setting the groundwork for how a head coach is supposed to act: Urban is a psycho, example #4,927 Durkin then went on to GA for Tyrone Willingham during his dying days at Notre Dame. Willingham got shitcanned and Durkin went back to Bowling Green to take his first assistant coaching position under Gregg Brandon, who was Urban’s original OC there and had moved into the head job after Meyer left for Utah. Note: it’s always better to get a head job. After two years there, DJ caught on with Harbaugh’s first staff at Stanford. They were two assholes in a pod, and notably tried to beat the living shit out of each other on the basketball court: cavemen play hoops Furd was nothing but wine sipping pussies when Harbaugh and DJ took over, but as the great Charlie Strong and every Viagra commercial noted, “If something is soft, you can make it hard again.” DJ on his new BFF and mentor #2, Jim Harbaugh: Wine and books bad. Meathead good. Not surprisingly, DJ was developing a bit of a reputation as an intense psychopath: Marker throwing, mouth steaming and vein popping After the shit hit the fan at Maryland, some of the old Stanford guys came out of the woodwork to throw darts at DJ (and Harbaugh too): Terrible Human Beings After 3 years at Furd, he reunited with Urban at Florida in 2010 as LB coach after Charlie Strong went to Louisville and they re-tooled their defensive staff. 2010 was the year everything went to shit there and Urban quickly decided he needed to spend more time with his family or had headaches or whatever. All that was wrong there (inmates running the asylum, drugs, Aaron Hernandez, etc.) is well documented so I'm not getting into it, but both Durkin and Adazzio were in the middle of it all. Boom took over Gator, shoving Mack Brown's Head Coach in Waiting title straight up Mack's complacent butter infused ass. Boom got one look at Durkin and decided he couldn't live without him and kept Durkin on staff. Dan Quinn was DC. So if you’re keeping score at home… his mentors look like the toxic masculinity all stars: Meyer, Harbaugh and Muschamp. Quinn moved on to the Seahawks after three years and Durkin became DC at Florida under Muschamp for two years. When Boom got sacked, Durkin was interim coach for the bowl game. After which he moved on to become DC at Michigan, who had just hired Harbaugh from the Niners. Reunited and it feels so good! He apparently made a big impression when he got to Michigan. Jabrile Peppers: bully coaching Two years as Michigan DC and he lands the Maryland head job. Hooray, head job! His first hire is Rick Court as strength coach who he called, ”his most important hire.” Court goes all the way back with Durkin to the early 2000’s Bowling Green/Urban Meyer days. He’s the one who ultimately ended up getting most of the heat for the kid dying at Maryland. He seems like a gigantic piece of shit and a world class asshole, but on the plus side, he did take the fall for Durkin. Sort of. Always share hive mind with strength coach until somebody dies Onto the Jordan McNair deal at Maryland… there’s a lot of shit to unpack for those of you not familiar. McNair was an OL participating in off season conditioning drills. He showed signs of heat stroke and then had a seizure around 5:00 pm. The Maryland training staff waited an entire fucking hour before calling 911. He ended up getting airlifted to the hospital, had a liver transplant and then died two weeks later. After this tragic incident, Maryland got exposed by ESPN for its toxic culture under Durkin. Some of the highlights: Tough love - more tough than love So naturally, after the ESPN deal, Maryland lawyered up and conducted an independent investigation. They placed Durkin on leave while they did the investigation and Rick Court resigned. In the meantime, interim coach Matt Canada took a massive dump on Tom Herman’s debut as Texas head coach. Some of the highlights of the investigation: Breakfast tastes better when you're watching horror movies! The investigation itself came under some scrutiny because it was supposed to be voluntary and anonymous, but they set up the interviews across the hall from Durkin’s office so he knew who was participating. So all this crazy shit came out even with them intimidating the witnesses. I ain't signing up for shit But the kicker… their investigation somehow, after all of this shit, came to the conclusion that the football program environment was “not toxic.” In one of the most tone deaf moves in the history of ever, they reinstated Durkin. Jordan’s family apparently wasn't really feeling DJ: tone deaf is an understatement That bullshit lasted all of one day after the entire college football world (and the non college football world for that matter) completely freaked out. The University President fired him under immense public pressure. After that… DJ took a sabbatical from the college game to become a consultant for the Atlanta Falcons for one year (aka a Dvoracek) , and then Lane Kiffin gave him a life line and hired him as co-DC at Ole Miss for two years. Where he did improve the hell out of their defense and nobody died. Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter said in a statement the university conducted a “thorough” background check on Durkin, speaking with several “highly respected college football coaches, administrators and school officials." He probably didn't get a chance to chop it up with Martin McNair, I'm guessing. S-E-C! S-E-C! Welcome to the SEC, I guess. And then Jimbo hired him from Ole Miss after Elko bolted for the Duke head job. And yes, it’s still always better to get a head job.

  6. This is that moment where I offer up that Nahlin is a fucking idiot and has zero evaluation skills. Go look at his history on this stuff. His value is in his asskissing for data from recruits and their handlers. Find me any pattern of solid and consistent evaluations from him ever.

  7. I think we should use the rhetoric and technique, and turn it on its head: "My opponent poses with a gun because he's a gutless coward. Our founding fathers governed this nation with ideas and wisdom. They didn't pose with firearms to try cover up their weakness. I won't either. Like my opponent, I know how to use a firearm. Unlike my opponent, I also know how to use the wisdom passed down by generations of leaders. My opponent can take his silly posing and fragile ego to a cosplay convention. As for me? I'll be heading to Washington, to represent you in a government of the people, by the people and for the people." Note: in my original ad copy, I called the opponent a complete pussy for posing with a gun, but I'm guessing that wouldn't make it on the air. But it's the truth. You can tell how much of a pussy a candidate is by how much he depends on posing with a gun.

  9. Yes. But let's cogitate on that for a moment. The POTUS has to be thoughtful about which SS agents he can trust, vs those who may be supportive of a violent coup attempt to overthrow the government. Just like that, we became a shithole country with palace intrigue and insiders willing to take down the government and install their chosen leader. That fact-pattern is somethign we're used to seeing in sub-saharan Africa, Latin America, etc. Not here, the "shining city on a hill" of democracy.

  10. What the fuck does any of this mean? Does Jimbo learn the rules from sliced bread? Is there no definite source where he can determine the rules? Is he left to simply read all of the media and social media posts and wonder what is true? What an absolute dipshit. God bless the broken road that led him straight to aggy.

  11. Jimbo Baggins at SEC media days: Basically, we're fucked. A whole lotta rules and our guys don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. The first sentence says it all. If it's not overwhelming then don't say the word overwhelming in the first sentence. They are in over their heads and have no escape route envisioned. Then Mr Baggins procedes to ask rhetorical questions in response to a question (red flag) and then rambles for a bit. In the end, he blames social media (the kids he is trying to recruit) for his failing to recruit the kids he is trying to recruit. Well done Jimbo Baggins, well done. Fuckin gomers lol

  14. He’s still desperately trying to bury the Big XII and it’s absolutely hilarious. If we come out on top with the Pac buried after all the shit we’ve endured the past 12 years, it’s going to be fucking glorious. Watching these media darlings that no one actually cares about go down to a bunch of flyover state schools that lack traditional prestige but have invested fanbases and entertaining product would be some absolute justice.

  16. So... holy shit, I was about to post the original article I got this from until the article itself sent me to an even MORE detailed version of the events where it turns out that Lt Williams ended up ALONE vs 7 fucking Soviet Union MIGs and when it was all over with, Williams limped back to his carrier, and only 1 MIG returned to base Lt. Royce Williams 1 vs 7 Dogfight over Korea 8 planes enter, 2 leave for home The Newspaper article that gives much more detail of the specific mission Now THIS sounds like it should be made into a freaking movie. a THIRTY MINUTE DOGFIGHT!!!!! “Before that, the longest one was five minutes,” (making this one officially the longest dogfight ever) We dont make too many movies about Korea... Americans dont like being reminded of war where almost 37,000 died in a tie. The Navy doesnt hadn't done much dogfighting in Korea (that was left to the Air Force), and this was one of the few incidents where a Navy pilot had an aerial victory. How crazy to be Lt. Williams: you pants and splash 4 actual Soviet Union MIG-15's while piloting an inferior aircraft to the MIGs, your plane is shot to shit, you barely make it back to your carrier... and rather than being able to celebrate almost becoming an Ace in 1 day, your Admiral tells you the event is now classified and you cant talk about it ever again. Even though he had 3 confirmed and 1 probable, he was given credit for 1 MiG and awarded the Silver Star. Now an effort is being made to get him a CMOH.

  20. Oh man. Everyone predicted some epic tragic end for Kim but in a way, this way is more of a gut punch than her getting murdered by the cartel or being the fall gal for their crimes and ending up in jail. Just the mundane brutal truth of the evil path she and Jimmy were on together finally slapped her in the face as she easily and casually lied to the face of a widow as she threw even more trash on the name of a dead man that she and Jimmy led to his death. She couldn’t wall that off in her soul and just move on. But Jimmy? Jimmy was already past it the moment they were in the clear. And that’s what finally did it. Everyone expected her exit to be a bang but it was a whimper and exit of survival and self preservation. And that’s what killed off the rest of Jimmy McGill and let Saul Goodman loose.

  24. I was on a red eye flight from Seattle to Austin a couple of weeks ago, and the captain repeatedly said “Hook ‘em Horns!” in his pre-flight spiel. “Good evening, this is Captain Evans. Welcome aboard Alaska Airlines flight 3240 with service to Austin. Hook ‘em Horns! We’ll be departing shortly Hook ‘em Horns! The current temperature in Austin is 84 degrees Hook ‘em Horns! This will be a 3 hour and 24 minute flight Hook ‘em Horns!” There was an aggy wearing an aggy shirt and hat a few rows in front of me, and I know the pilot was saying it for his benefit. Not sure if a comment was made while the guy was boarding. Everyone was laughing except the aggy.
