2pm Maryland press conference today with President and AD...
- Thread starter MilesBarkley
- Start date
Gotta be gone. Way too soon to clear him or even just suspend him.
The Ohio State thing to do now would be schedule their press release for 1:55pm and hire Durkin as WR coach at 2:30pm 
He’s got to be gone. As somebody else said, too quick to announce he’s staying.
Yep. If he’s not gonna be speaking at this thing, he’s out.Well, if he's not on the agenda, he's gone..IMHO.

And UMD is going to hire Zach Smith as their new head coach.

or maybe no coaching moves...?
Been hearing this will not be about coaching moves but about McNair death investigation. We’ll see. https://t.co/Rr5gAfEkPt

Notable head coaches under whom Durkin has served:
- Urban Meyer: Bowling Green (2001–2002), Florida (2010)
- Jim Harbaugh: Stanford (2007–2009), Michigan (2015)
They will announce Maryland football players will no longer be permitted to die while on scholarship. Bad for business. What do these players expect? Our motto is Fear the Turtle!
Well Durkin learned that culture from someone. Take your pick! (Pun intended)
So Very sorry about what happened to the youngster, I can't imagine the anguish and torment the family is experiencing.
Geez, Evens was just appointed AD this past June, and feeling very good about his athletic programs

“We are going to take over this conference and we are going to do some things that other people might say ‘how in the heck did they do that?’ We did it because we worked together and I’ll make sure of that.”
Evans endorsed football coach D.J. Durkin, whose teams have compiled a 10-15 record in his first two seasons. He called Durkin “a little bit snakebit,” due to injuries his players have suffered and that the Terrapins play in the stronger of the conference’s two divisions.
“I believe in D.J. Durkin, I sat in the room and met with D.J. when we were out looking for coaches, and I believed then and I believe now that he is the right man for the job,” Evans said.
Evans also said he believes the university will not face any significant punishment related to former men’s basketball player Diamond Stone, who allegedly received thousands of dollars from an agent while he was still in school.
“We have done our due diligence and we are in a good spot right now,” he said.

...or at the very least, kill kids trying?
I thought I originally read somewhere that the investigation was to be completed around the September 15th time frame.
So if Durkin were to be fired today, they must have found some pretty bad stuff already to let him go this fast...
If the presser from the President and AD is to just inform of an investigation...seems a little late and redundant to me.

I think entire staff is gone and the S&C coach will be prosecuted. I know had he thrown a weight at my kid or forced him to eat snickers until he puked there would be a lawsuit. Maryland is deep in this and will want to get out asap vs letting it drag into the season. I hope everyone is held accountable.
It sure would be interesting to see the entire coaching staff fired in August, less than a month until the season starts. Has that ever happened?
I doubt that would happen, too much money involved, there are several relatively new guys on the staff that could take over and get them through the season.

I guess that I don't understand the recruiting process. These kids see the coaching style when they visit, right? It's not like they didn't know what they were signing up for, is it?Got one of these from 5* DE Josh Kaindoh too....
Sports pundits are saying the news conference is not about coaches. It's about McNair.
Think about this. At one time or another Maryland had Bill OBrien Mike Gundy and James Franklin on staff as assistants coaches.

To clarify, that was a decommit from last year; not one as a result of this situation. I was just adding insult to injury for Durkin in stormingnorm's list...
Maryland seems to be about 2 months late on addressing the death of Jordan McNair...smh
I get what your saying but how could they get rid of the entire staff 3 weeks before the season starts?
Yea Matt Canada is fairly new but I would like to know where he was during this whole thing.
Any of them would have been outstanding successors when Fridge hung it up (meaning - pushed out). Instead they went with the grab bag approach and came up with back-to-back slappies.
They wouldn't recognize talent if they stepped over it.
