 On his only day back in his capacity as Head Coach Durkin for Maryland, a fight breaks out on the practice field and a reserve punter and supporter of Jordan McNair who spoke out against some of the coaching staff was administered a black eye.

Then, acting without approval of the Board of Regents, the University president fired Durkin, 10/31/18.

On 11/1/18, the chairman of the Board of Regents resigned.

Fake News! 
You see....this is the problem.  The lawyer is manipulating everything, and the people who know the least, have the expert opinions.

An SI writer suggested Maryland go get Navy’s coach. I’m guessing that’s not a move MCW would like, especially with Navy’s current season. 

It asks an interesting question, should the Terps go for a recruiter or a “different” scheme guy? Fridge was, if I recall correctly more scheme than recruiter, which often leads to a coaches’ ouster. Edsall was, in theory, a program leader/developer more than anything, whose hires were kind of all over. Durkin was clearly recruiter first, with a strong scheme approach on D. He hired Canada for scheme on O, and that’s been a dud in year 1, though the defense seems to be thriving without him. 

Would Maryland going weird for a higher floor, lower ceiling be good? Brohm was kinda that at Purdue, granted the recruiting surprised. Purdue is also a different world in terms of local talent, though holding onto local talent has oft been a Maryland issue.

Brohm's only one season in a difficult port of call.He may have a much higher ceiling than you're indicating

I watched 3Q of the UCF game last night.  Now that is an offense.  I'd go for something like that were I UMd, truly.

I don't guess UCF has a bunch of great players they recruited, but they can make you dizzy with their offense.

Combine that with a good QB and half decent defense and you'd be very dangerous.  I pity the P5 team that gets to face them in a bowl.

What does this even mean?
just means that a coordinator can make good money, run his system, stay away from the podium most of the time, and not deal with all the drama and crap of the head coach

Yeah, disappointed team, no real upside to winning, seniors looking to the draft perhaps, frenetic offense, recipe for loss.

True, but he wasn’t brought in because you thought he’d rake in the stars. He was brought in becuase of an offense that seemed “different.” He’s proving a better recruiter, but that’s not his schtick.

That ship sailed the last time around. 
I don't want that garbage offense either.

If ya don't have the horses you can't win the race.All things being equal defenses will adjust and find the weakness.Keep recruiting good and mixing things up it could get interesting in W.Lay.Joe Tiller did a good job there

I'd say it's already interesting

I doubt the non-con preseason goes as poorly next year

hopefully that's also the deal for Northwestern - geez

What I figured. 
(I love that offense, but respect it’s not for everyone)

Yes and no. 
Purdue has one horse that would start at OSU, and I saw some racin’ right there. 
You have guys like Freidgen who seem to raise your floor, but can’t quite recruit to a level to raise a team to that next step. That produce lots of good without the potential for great. A good example of this is at Minnesota. Fleck and Brewster were brought in for recruiting. Mason and Kill were solid there, but built better, if lower ceiling teams.
