BALTIMORE -- Maryland football coach DJ Durkin, who was placed on paid administrative leave in August following the June 13 death of 19-year-old offensive lineman Jordan McNair from heatstroke he suffered at a May 29 workout, has been reinstated, the University System of Maryland Board of Regents announced on Tuesday.
University president Wallace D. Loh and athletic director Damon Evans will also keep their jobs, but Loh announced his plans to retire in June 2019. The long-awaited decision on the futures of the three men comes after two separate investigations into the football program, and five meetings and calls between the 17-member board of regents.
