Just out of curiosity...did Durkin show or show signs he was as narcissistic sociopath while at Stanford?

Quote:TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Former Maryland coach D.J. Durkin is spending time with the Alabama football staff but hasn't been hired.

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said in a statement Friday that Durkin "is spending a few days with our staff in Tuscaloosa from a professional development standpoint." Saban says Durkin hasn't been "hired in any capacity" but is observing Alabama's football operations as other coaches have done.

His Wikipedia page indicates he is a current employee of Alabama.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._J._Durkin

He coached with Harbaugh twice and Meyer twice.  He's probably got a little crazy in him.

FLWIW, I think most football coaches are a little bit nuts.  My high school coaches were tinpot tyrants and narcissistic sociopaths as I understand the term.  The head coach ended up as an administrator in a South Bay school district.  They got him out of teaching/coaching as soon as they could.  His nickname, a play on his last name, among the local teachers was the same as a Star Wars villain. He was the PE coach as well as the football coach, and fit just about every negative stereotype you can imagine.

Did Sherm Wolleson coach at your school too?

JK.  It's just that your description fit perfectly with the personality of my high school coach.  lol
