Jabrill Peppers rips Maryland's D.J. Durkin for 'bully coaching' at Michigan

Former Paramus Catholic star Jabrill Peppers was critical of embattled Maryland coach D.J. Durkin during a national radio interview Monday, calling his approach "kind of like bully coaching" when Durkin was his defensive coordinator at Michigan.

Durkin is on administrative leave due to the scandal that has engulfed his program in the wake of the death of player Jordan McNair after he was hospitalized following a May workout. University president Wallace Loh apologized for McNair's death Tuesday, saying the school "accepts legal and moral responsibility for the mistakes" made by its training staff that led to McNair's death from an apparent heatstroke.
