Days after receiving a report on “dysfunction” preceding the death of University of Maryland football player Jordan McNair, the Board of Regents has decided coach DJ Durkin and Athletic Director Damon Evans will keep their jobs. But university President Wallace Loh will retire, he announced Tuesday.
Here are the key takeaways from a board press conference announcing its conclusions:
Durkin will stay on as head coach because the board did not solely blame him for problematic behavior within his program, and trust him to make things right.
Regents Chairman James Brady, who called Durkin “a good man,” said Durkin failed to supervise conditioning coach Rick Court, but that the failure is shared with Evans.
