Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

So was Durkin fired for cause?  If not how much is this going to cost Maryland?

No cause, $5 million buyout.  Thats a lot of cash for them right now.  

Who do they get for the next head coach?

I bet not for cause. Getting into a damn lawsuit would be a sub after my way to extricate themselves from the situation. 

Can you imagine how Maryland would recruit athletes when your opponents walk into a parent's home and show that an independent investigation showed Durkin was partially responsible for events leading to the death of someone's kid on his football team?

They would be lying though.  That's precisely the opposite of what the report said, but everyone outside of the situation are experts on it.

Mike Locksley is the only person that might want the job, and the only one that could right the ship for the foreseeable future.
He's well liked and known around the DMV in all HS's.  
The hope here also could be that he learned something from Saban and can overlook his terrible record and NM, and his own skeletons.

With the right OC/DC combo around him, that could work.  Dude can recruit the region, no doubt there.

why not Canada?

I think The Fridge would be a good stop-gap hire.  Greg Schiano would be my pick for a long-term hire.

The reports exonerated DJ Durkin.

In 2014, you had a player die at Morgan State before school even started, on the practice field of the same thing. The coach was never in question, and he ended up being coach of the year.

Brian Kelly is still the coach at Notre Dame even though he asked a videographer to go up on a lift in high winds before falling to his death.

The media outrage has been Amplified so much and I still can't figure out why.

Heather dinich was played by the lawyer for the McNair's. When the report came out that there was no toxic culture, ESPN triple down on the coverage and exploded whenever the Board of Regents decided to reinstate Durkin because it wasn't his fault.

I believe there was another heatstroke related death in football at a smaller College in the Northeast before Jordan. You heard nothing of it.

I guess you can really make an example out of Maryland because it's not big enough to be above it, but it's big enough to make an example of.

Canada is a smart man

What does this even mean?
