Did I just hear that? Holy shit if it’s true.

Good luck recruiting. Why not cut ties? He's 10 and fucking 15 there.

You just don't fire Harbaugh disciples. They're like gold.

Honestly though - this is pretty disgusting. Just adds to how fucked everything is within the NCAA, sports, etc.

Makes no sense. No one is going to blink an eye if he's fired. Apparently the President did not agree with the decision and retired. Oh and there is this...

So, does this rally the team or fuck it up? Saturday is important.

Fuck it up.

Where's your poll?

Maybe Bob can help you with that.

"Everybody's shell-shocked (within the program)," a source said. "Nobody's saying much. Nobody knows what to do right now."

The news was met with outrage by McNair's parents and others.

"I feel like I've been punched in the stomach, and somebody spit in my face," said Marty McNair, Jordan's father, who thought the USM board would "do the right thing."

How much do you want to bet that Durkin tells them to not take a knee anymore for McNair?

Even Rutgers knows how to do the right thing. They kicked the guy off their team that tried to hire a couple murders.

As someone that attended both MSU and Maryland, not very proud of either right now.

I read the espn article this part was tough to read —-

On Tuesday, Murphy, the attorney representing McNair's family, said: "How can a student-athlete be called a p---y as he is in the early stages of death, dying before their eyes, with no action taken, and yet no one be held accountable. The university had an obligation to keep its students safe, and it failed."

by **StylesGShmooth** 2018-10-31, 10:23

This just keeps getting better. Rick Court, the Strength Coach, is an MSU alum. Played baseball here in the 90s.

by Clarett's Folly 2018-10-31, 11:18

I haven't been following this story closely. Is the family at least pursuing a civil suit against the university?

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2018-10-31, 11:24

What the fuck? I don't get this decision at all.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2018-10-31, 11:34

Was just listening to Tim Staudt (yeah, I know) - he thinks, albeit very slight, that there is a possibility of total mutiny on behalf of the Maryland players and that they might not play Saturday.

He said it was based only on his observations, etc - but apparently there have been some very outspoken players that are upset at the Board.

He went on to say something along the lines of "now imagine they do play.. and imagine if Durkin decides to light into a player on the sideline or at the half... how do you think that will go over"?

It was just him hypothesizing... but I can see where he was coming from. A coach who is already psychotic getting in the faces of players who believe he might be, at least partially, responsible for the death of their friend and teammate?

I agree with Timmy. There's zero chance Durkin hasn't already lost that locker room.

well, yeah.. DJ Durkin reinstated? 502811600

he's famous for hot takes like "ya know, Brock.. this MSU team, I wouldn't be surprised if they won on Saturday. And I wouldn't be surprised if they lost"..

DJ Durkin reinstated? 2599972566

however, I do agree with him that, at best, Durkin has a simmering mutiny on his hands.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-10-31, 12:50

So, they kneel and have a team prayer before the game on the #70 they have out there. What will Durkin do during this time do you think? Also, do you think the rest of the staff wants him back? They're doing pretty good without him. The whole dynamic is weird.

it's truly one of the more bizarre stories of this football season.

I suspect it's an ESPN 30 for 30 docudrama waiting to happen.

Anthony Brown - a United States congressman from Maryland's 4th district - just released a statement denouncing what the University of Maryland's Board of Regents did..

I don't see Durkin making it until Saturday at this point.

Which would not bode well for MSU. If Durkin gets tossed, that will fire up the Terps players either because they’re glad he’s gone or mad he’s gone.
