No way Maryland will be able to afford the buyout with the fat lawsuit he is going to file against the school.

Ralph Friedgen was fired for winning every year without having the "IT" factor to get booster money and top recruits.
He was vanilla. He won 8 games every year, but the program had zero national buzz.

They did not like that Friedgen was overweight. They wanted to sell Under Armor stuff with a GQ looking fit coach.
So, they hire the two biggest A-holes to lose games while looking like central casting versions of coaches.

This is Maryland. They do stupid shit like this all the time.
They have been the worst run overall athletic department since Len Bias died in 1986.

They will find a worse choice than Durkin next!!!

It won't matter.
The only time they ever won a National Championship was when they had and ex-Oklahoma coach.

Kinda like Texas.

maybe its him

Doubtful. The McNair incident happened in May. Evans was hired in June.


Not completely true regarding that hire date.

Damon Evans to become Maryland’s permanent athletic director

Yes, Damon Evans was named Maryland's permanent AD in June 2018, but he actually held the job on an interim basis since October 2017.... so he was there and in charge for the entire Jordan McNair mess. The buck stops at his desk for this incident.

With great power comes great responsibility.... Damon Evans was captain of the ship at the time of McNair's death. It happened on Evans' watch, that's why lots of folks are clamoring for him to be fired.

There you go right there. Neither were they. They expected fatty to be OK. His history of laziness and quitting when things got tough probably led them to believe he was just making excuses again.

I'm just an equipment operator at the country's largest producer of aggregates, and I along with everyone else at the company is trained annually on recognizing and treating heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and you're thinking the team's medical staff didn't notice anything.

Didn't know that, but if he was there when this went down, I hate it for him, but he needs to go. This is a clearing house kind of deal here.
