Things have been happening quickly – and not for the better for Maryland Terrapins football team.
By now you probably have heard about the ESPN.com article that delved into the potential treatment of players by the Maryland training staff. This isn’t your run of the mill controversy given the tragic death of Jordan McNair. The latest domino to fall, not unexpectedly, is head coach D.J. Durkin. He is now the second Big Ten coach to be placed in Administrative Leave in the last two weeks.
What now? Do you think that Durkin is being treated unfairly? Will his fans fight for Durkin like Ohio State’s have fought for Urban Meyer?
Here are some of the latest links of interest.
- The coaching community reacts to the suspending of Durkin and other members of the training and coaching staff. South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp is one of the more notable names quoted here.
- Deadspin, as usual, has an interesting take on the story. (NSFW)
