Not credible, so take it with a grain of salt. All signs are seriously pointing to that though(and this report is just hopping on all the rumors and trying to claim it first). I would be very happy with durkin as our dc though, so hopefully it does become official.

Old news. but very good news.

Seriously? I have been way too vigilant on the board, and I have seen activity with Durkin turning down jobs, but no claim of him coming, beyond speculation. While the site is questionable, he claims it's happening.

Well, this blog outperformed a lot of professional news gathering entities. So, aside from the misspelling, it might be credible. Time will tell.

Since he is out of a job (they hired Collins as DC) I don't think it is a stretch for this guy to call it but he says "within the week" that means it isn't done (signed) but he is taking a leap for the credibility of calling it first.

Even without referencing the spelling error, that website looks like a generic Microsoft Word document circa year 2000.
Nonetheless, I think this happens and the sooner it does, we can get down to business. Great day all around!

Durkin-to-Michigan is a foregone conclusion by now, but nothing will be announced until after Florida's bowl game. Nothing to see here.

Here's an unrelated bonus as an apology for a crappy source! This is a quote from Shea Patterson, the #1 QB in the 2016 class.
"It's definitely a game changing hire," Patterson said on Monday night. "Michigan has always been a place I thought I would play and having him come in there definitely boosts my interest. I grew up going to Michigan football games and I think it's a great hire obviously. He's going to bring them back to where they've been before. As a quarterback, it excites me too because I like his competitiveness and I know a lot of guys are going to want to play for him. I look forward to the recruiting process with him."
I don't know the source beyond the Victor's Board, so I will post it here.

Edge of the Internet confirmed Durkin has been hired. Same guy that said this was also right about his info on JH so I believe it
December 30th, 2014 at 6:25 PM ^

I've never heard of that before. Well up till this coaching search anyway.

LOL...wow, they are really out to discredit anything Harbaugh related. They are so butt hurt over the NFL snub.
December 30th, 2014 at 5:58 PM ^
Really? I thought they were still tied up at this now long-delayed Harbaugh presser in Oakland. I am sure they will air it as soon as Harbaugh gets to the Raiders' offices, but they are already working their sources on Durkin too. A well-connected, not at all petulant and irksome network indeed.
