DJ Durkin canned..

I only post it because 24 hours ago they were keeping him. Quite a whirlwind.

Their initial decision to keep him was going to be a train wreck. They had players walking out of practice and tweeting about the university’s decision. The family’s statements were heartbroken to listen to. And how did they think it was going to end... did they really think people would just forget about it and parents would send their kids to play for him? Just their thought of keeping him is disgraceful

There was no way he could survive that, regardless of the findings. Strike up another situation where a university handles something poorly.

Maryland just inherited a PR nightmare. Now, Durkin can sue them for firing him after the Board of Regents just cleared him of any charges.

Not only that, but McNair's family is likely to sue Maryland into the ground.

Despite his ****** head coaching record, I fully expect Maryland to make a push for Mike Locksley (Bama OC).

The way Maryland handled this was Tennessee-esque.

Shoulda been fired months ago

not saying coaches don't improve, but Lockley's HC record is 3-31. 2+ years at NM, 6 games (1-5) as Maryland interim.

Maybe they should check with Mullen again.

IIRC he was also suspended for a game at New Mexico for assaulting one of his assistants, so he may not have the temperament to be a head coach, regardless of his record.

Any Power 5 school that needs a head coach should be blowing up Bill Clark’s phone. He’s at the top of my wish list as a head coach if anything were to ever happen to Joe MO.
