DJ Durkin is no longer the head coach of the Maryland Terrapins football team after a controversial decision to reinstate him on Tuesday was met with backlash.
Maryland fired Durkin on Wednesday, a school spokesperson confirmed to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
This comes after the school's Board of Regents announced its recommendation that Durkin return as head coach following independent reviews into the football program's culture after the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair. "While the Commission's work did not find a toxic culture, it is clear in reading the report that there were some inappropriate and unacceptable behaviors," the announcement read.
