DJ Durkin Fired: Tebow blasts Maryland

[Captain Sasquatch]

Maryland coach DJ Durkin fired in wake of probe

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Wow, just yesterday they were saying MD was retaining him.

 

[NVGator]

Talk about pressure. Sounds like the Governor got involved.

 

[Slevin]

Shoulda happened to begin with. They didn’t want to pay the buyout, but then realized what they’d be losing in keeping him.

 

[BMF]

Wow! Holy sh*t!

 

[TN G8tr]

Wowza.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Have we hired him back yet?

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Well he was a very good recruiter when he was here.....so does Dan give him a call for his old job back?

 

[KronoGator]

What a clown show, give them the death penalty.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Exactly, that Dwag should be gone tomorrow

 

[Concrete Helmet]

I wouldn't argue with that....Some people will have the "Big Sack" to end the MSU game as a defense for TG but in reality he calls a good game once in a while but has yet to show he can build a top to bottom every down defense anywhere he's been....DJ is a hell of a recruiter and with the right position coaches I think he could get it done here.

Why not, someone will

 

[williston_gator]

His players publicly spoke out against him multiple times. There's no way he'd win the locker room back or be able to recruit.

 

[Bait'n Gator]

Yeah bad look for the university. I wanted him retained just to listen the meltdowns from the talking heads on espn radio.

 

[leogator]

So is it for cause? Or does he get his whole payout?

 

[MJMGator]

Without cause. He’s due about $5.5m.

 

[leogator]

Without cause. He’s due about $5.5m.

They got off cheaply.

 

[MJMGator]

Gotta tell ya, Maryland looks like a bunch of punks now IMO. You spend 2 months investigating, come out and say you’re reinstating him and defending his character, then you fire him the next day because it wasn’t a popular decision. Stand your ground or make the tough decision to fire him in the first place. Puzzies.

They got off cheaply.

The whole of the remaining contract was only about $7.5M.
