Watch: Tim Tebow Criticizes Maryland's Reversal on DJ Durkin Firing, Blames Lack of 'Conviction'

Tim Tebow criticized Maryland's handling of head coach DJ Durkin's firing during an appearance on ESPN's First Take on Friday, taking aim at the school for its lack of "conviction."

Maryland opted to reinstate Durkin on Tuesday at the recommendation of the board of regents, but university president Wallace Loh reversed the decision on Wednesday and ousted the former head coach.

The Washington Post reported that Loh felt the school should move on from Durkin, but had been "strongly urged" by the board to follow the recommendation and that it was made clear to him that he had no other option if he wanted to avoid being fired immediately.
