Maryland hired Michigan’s defensive coordinator, D. J. Durkin, on Wednesday to be its head coach, taking a key assistant away from a Big Ten East rival. Durkin, 37, was in his first season at Michigan under Jim Harbaugh and led a defense that ranks fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision in yards allowed per game. He replaces Randy Edsall, who was fired midway through the season. The Terrapins finished the season 3-9.
