Toxic Football Coaching Culture at Maryland... The end for Durkin?
I didn't realize that they had a player die over the offseason (RIP to the kid)... and it appears that the culture there was abusive at best. The S&C coach absolutely will be out of a job and will need to find a new career. But I think this could trickle up to Durkin.
From one former staffer: "I would never, ever, ever allow my child to be coached there."
"The way they coach us at Maryland, tough love -- it's really more tough than it is love," one former player said.
"When you're characterizing people in such derogatory and demeaning terms, particularly if they don't have a skill level you think they need to aspire to, or they may never get, then it's rough to watch and see because if it was your son, you wouldn't want anybody talking to your son that way."
"....when Maryland opened preseason training camp Aug. 3, the workouts and overall climate around the program largely returned to how they were before McNair's death"
Murphy called the one-hour time gap between McNair showing distress about 5 p.m. and the 911 call being made "an utter disregard of the health of this player, and we are extraordinarily concerned that the coaches did not react appropriately to his injury."
Just a few quotes from the article. Hell... the more I read, it almost looks criminal.
