Maryland has moved on

[codeDawg]

Not going to be Mullen. He's a serious candidate for UGA though.

Where are you seeing this? Who is there main target?

 

[SaltyRedd]

I read on a Michigan board that it was their DC....Durkin.

 

[codeDawg]

Yup. Durkin to MD.

I have nothing against Maryland but they could never have afforded this. Not sure where these rumors came from but it never made sense. Their athletic department is in baaaad shape financially.

No that is not true. They have Under Armour the same way Oregon has Nike

  Last I heard was Durkin was Maryland's guy but they were going to make a late run @ Dan Mullen. Mullen listened, but MD went w/ D.J. Durkin

  to elaborate, I'm not saying Maryland chose Durkin OVER Mullen, Dan was "listening" either MD got tired of waiting, or Mullen said no thanks

I think uga is only a play if they miss on Kirby and Herman.

I thought Kirby was going to USCE.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Smart is an UGA grad so I'm sure he's interested.

Under Armour Seeks to Do for Maryland What Nike Did for Oregon

Before Nike got involved with the University of Oregon,” Mr. Anderson added, “nobody knew where Eugene was.”

Under Armour is trying to similarly put College Park on the map

From 2015:
The operating loss for the fiscal year ended June 30 is just a portion of Maryland's athletic department debt. It has racked up more than $95 million in debt in recent years, a figure that includes $31 million owed to the Atlantic Coast Conference to settle a lawsuit over leaving the conference and the $55 million in capital expenses associated with renovations at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium and Xfinity Center (formerly Comcast Center).
Page said athletic department officials have committed to repaying the money by 2021 when their budgets become balanced with a much stronger revenue stream from the Big Ten.

In other words they are so far in debt that even with B1G money they can't even balance the budget until at least 2021, if they don't go bankrupt first.
