DJ Durkin hadn’t been serving as Maryland’s head coach since August, and after his brief and unexpected return to the program this week, he’s now officially out. This means Maryland will now embark on its second coaching search in four years, and will do so with a new athletic director in Damon Evans and a president in Wallace Loh who is retiring in June..
This coaching search will be different than the past few. Kevin Anderson won’t be the one conducting it, for starters. This is the second Maryland football coaching search since the program joined the Big Ten, and where last time it was easy to sell anyone on promise, that now becomes a bit harder.
