Former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow took the University of Maryland to task for not following through on its board's initial recommendation to keep DJ Durkin as head football coach.
Appearing on ESPN's First Take (h/t USA Today's Scott Gleeson), Tebow said he believes the Maryland administration gave into pressure from social media by firing Durkin on Wednesday:
"You need to make a decision and you need to stand with it. Because right now (the decision to fire Durkin) shows people are so afraid to have conviction to believe in something when they make a decision that they're like, 'oh my goodness social media's against us.
