DJ Durkin in trouble

The guy weighed 300 lbs. He probably should not have been running anywhere.

I hate that the player died, but the article is pretty much a bunch of players upset because they don't like the way the coaches talk to them. Bear Bryant wouldn't make it through a season in today's culture.

Him being a degenerate gambler and alcoholic wouldn’t help either.

After watching Junction Boys, I feel pretty confident that Bryant would've caused the deaths of some 300+lb linemen had they existed back then.

Between this and the situation in Ohio with Urban Meyer, I wonder if we could be looking at the possibility of two Power 5 coaches(and possibly some other staff in this case) being fired before the season even begins.

Durkin for sure will likely be on the chopping block.

The longer this draws out with Urban, the less likely he's going to be to get dismissed. OSU is probably trying to figure out the buyout for whomever the sacrificial lamb is at this point.

My guess is the OSU AD gets thrown in the volcano.

Expletive laced rants? I'm sure they pale when compared to any street corner In Baltimore.

This is exactly the case.
They’ll find someone to take the fall pay then handsomely out the back door and it’ll all go away.

The more Snook misrepresents to try to help, the worse off Urban looks. McMurphy is 3 steps ahead of em...with FACTS not speculation.

They should be able to run but they did a poor job recognizing his symptoms, heat stroke is noticeable and their response is even worse.

Rocker runs his boys more than that.
Football practice looked more like a cross country workout for Tennessee's defensive line Saturday.
Defensive line coach Tracy Rocker began position drills at the start of practice by sending his players on a 200-yard sprint from one side of a practice field to the other.
As the final players straggled back in, Rocker looked to see who finished last. It was John Mincey, who was required to run the sprint again. Moments later, Rocker decided to send the entire group through the sprint a second time.
This time, Mincey and fellow freshman Kingston Harris finished last.
Finally, the group settled in to start a drill. After a few rounds of hitting a practice dummy, though, a miscommunication by a few players resulted in Rocker sending the entire group on a third sprint. A walk-on freshman, Airin Spell from Brentwood Academy in the Nashville area, was first to complete the final sprint.

Like others have said Durkin is history. Urban should be but I'm guessing the AD who has already took a vacation will "take one for the team". If tOSU was going to fire Myers they would have done so already to prepare to find his replacement, not drag it out until right before the season starts. Wonder how the B1G is liking their additions these days. First the disgrace at Penn State and now this at Maryland.
