“Hold my roofiecolada”Hard to believe it could have been handled any more poorly than what Maryland did.

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!!!
maybe its him
Doubtful. The McNair incident happened in May. Evans was hired in June.
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.
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.
Hire mike leach!! we need him in the B1G!!
