Matt Canada spoke to the media on Wednesday in his first public action as Maryland football’s acting head coach. Canada was elevated from his position as offensive coordinator on Saturday when the school placed DJ Durkin on administrative leave.
Canda put the emphasis on ‘interim’ head coach.
He appears to still view himself as an assistant while Maryland reviews the program.
“I’m the offensive coordinator. I’m still an assistant coach,” Canada said. “We’re working through this process. There’s a review and all those things going on, so it’s a different situation. It’s certainly a challenging situation.
