Report: DJ Durkin to Be Reinstated as Maryland Coach After Review of Program

Maryland Terrapins head football coach DJ Durkin is reportedly expected to return after being placed on administrative leave in August amid an investigation into an alleged "toxic" culture within the program.

On Tuesday, Rick Maese of the Washington Post reported Durkin and athletic director Damon Evans both received recommendations from the University System of Maryland Board of Regents to return despite objections from president Wallace D. Loh, who will now retire in June.

"It was made clear that if he wanted to remain in his position, he had no option [but to reinstate Durkin]," a source told Maese.
