I assumed you meant Shawne Merriman or something was going to be an honorary captain, like how UM will have Chris Webber on their sideline this week.

Could go either way.

Sounds like SOME players walked out of Durkin's address to the players.

May be ugly.

I'm sure it's pretty tough not having your coach for the whole year, playing for Canada and seeing some success, and then having Durkin come back. It's really up to Canada now. They should all have known there was a chance Durkin would be back on the sidelines this year.

It will be very interesting to see who suits up and who doesn't show up on Saturday.

Yeah, too early to say.  It's all going to be a very weird vibe, as you've said, with it all being a random cold noon game anyway, but trying to give it a fake big game feel.  MSU is guilty of doing that in the past too.

I also have to believe that in talking to the current players before today what may happen, they took into account what they think.

I'd have to believe an overwhelming majority want him back before allowing it or making a decision. 

If not, an even bigger colossal failure to ignore them, then how it looks to outsiders.

That was my thought.  They knew some amount we're going to be pissed either way, and they had to have some idea of the numbers before making a call.
I'd like to think they'd make the call, either way, based on what's right, but no big time programs, mine included, operate that way anymore

They waited too long for this whole Fiasco.

The players are now in love with Matt Canada and what he's done with them throughout this whole thing. Pretty awkward to have the coach come back in the three-quarters mark of the season.

No matter what the investigation said, no matter how it absolves the head coach of any wrongdoing, a player died, so nothing matters.

Morgan State had a player die in the same manner before the season even started in 2014. No uproar. The coach was then coach of the year in that conference.

This is all a strategic move by the lawyer for the McNair family and it paid off.

Well, Durkin's case that he was fired without cause was improved by a million percent

Someone or someones on the board wanted to keep Durkin. Whether they thought Durkin was worth it or they didn't want to pay the buyout I have no idea. If they were willing to threaten the pres with his job it is my opinion they didn't care what the community wanted and so they never asked.
