As DJ Durkin has been reinstated as Maryland’s head football coach, there are many questions looming upon his return. Most of those revolve around player reaction as Durkin regains full control of the team.
We already know that several players walked out of a team meeting with Durkin, which included a few starters according to ESPN and The Athletic. There have also been players who have expressed their concern over social media.
Following the board’s decision to reinstate Durkin, BTN analysts Howard Griffith and Marcus Ray broke down how the team might respond to the situation. Needless to say, neither analyst had the right answer, saying that it’s such a sensitive situation.
Here’s what Griffith and Ray had to say:
