Just curious what some of you guys think of the situation

Muschamp at SCar in my opinion went the wrong way in his defense of him

I think ESPN loves to create a crap storm that is for sure.

Unlike the Urban thing there is no solid evidence just anonymous sources. I agree with Muschamp that you can always find a former player or current ones that hate a coach and as he said "they usually are not playing" or did play.

I seriously doubt that every person that reporter talked too just trashed the coach yet he is only reporting the bad stories.

This is one where I think I need to hear from the staff unlike the Urban thing where reporter has evidence for everything.

Walter bolted pretty quickly. Of course it was for FSU OC.

and probably for a huge pay raise.

There have been several players pointing to the abuse by Durkin. I asked on our board why any coach/person thinks he can motivate athlete's better through abuse than caring/supporting/respecting the player. And yet I know these people exist. I hope the two coaches are gone as quickly as possible and it serves an example to all coaches. Just as soon as Maryland gets its evidence to support firing, they will be justly gone. Regarding Bell, after his relationship with Anderson and his totally opposite approach to the players, I suspect he was begging to get out as quickly as possible.

There were comments of his that I read on twitter that sounded very similar to Larry Fedora's about CTE. Doesn't sound good.

He’s about to be fired.

If they keep him they are crippling their recruiting efforts at this point.

It may actually be pretty tough getting kids to commit there this next recruiting go round. I bet our guys that bolted were glad to get out. They had no idea what they were getting into.

Tucker and Knighten both bolted as well. Tucker is the interesting case as he left to take the RB job at UCF, which in theory, shouldn't be able to pay what Maryland does.

We know that multiple "former coaches and staff members" are involved in the leak. Wonder if any of them were our former coaches.

Remember, a player died because of the machismo culture at Maryland. It's not just anonymous sources saying these things.

Until you're in an abusive situation, you don't realize how hard it is to say something.

The S&C coach was fired so there's something there. And Maryland has taken full responsibility for it, so this is legit.

Muschamp is a meathead and an idiot. As others have noted, he's been anonymous source in the past, so he's also a hypocrite.

If Maryland didn't want ESPN sniffing around, then they shouldn't have allowed a culture that meant a player died during a conditioning drill.

Watch Muschamp on the sidelines. He is a maniac. I could see him being the same kind of coach.[/i]

I agree. Muschamp looks like his head is about to explode during games. He always looks like he's on the brink of completely losing it.

If there is found to have been negligence on the part of any of the coaches, could there be jail time headed there way???

The school has already admitted fault, which can’t be good.

No. Can't prove they actually killed the kid.

However, the school has a massive lawsuit heading its way, and given they have accepted "full moral and legal responsibility" they'll have to settle.

Agreed. A player died, his autopsy clearly showed it was due to heatstroke, Maryland has already admitted to failure at every level of their administration as the cause.

I don't know how someone can say this is just ESPN stirring up another story.

Several people in Maryland need to be held accountable, and this should be a wake up call to heavy-headed coaches across the nation. It's shameful how the administration of Maryland in turning in on themselves as everyone tries to save their own skin.

They seem to be trying to deflect most of the blame for the death to the training staff not the coaches.....even if the coaches are the ones who placed him in that position to get heatstroke.

True but that would apply to every team in the south right now and every other player on that team that did not suffer heat stroke. Everyone's body is different and from the Army I can tell you some people are more tolerant of the heat and once you have a heat related injury you are more likely to have another. You are assuming that the practice was to blame yet only one guy out of 100+ had an issue. Probably just a normal practice for any team but an epic failure of medical attention.

I am just saying it is not hard to find anonymous sources especially ones that have an axe to grind with the HC or any leader of anything. Also if the medical staff did not follow protocol is that on the HC? The stories may be true but I have a suspicion the players that said he is tough but nothing crazy did not get quoted by the ESPN guy. It is a tragedy but accusations about the coach are unfounded so far. I dont take anonymous sources to seriously especially today. There is smoke but I am throwing a guy under the bus over an ESPN report with zero proof of anything, that is for sure. He probably will be fired just out of PR if nothing else. It is not like the AD is a man of character and is going to put his job on the line for it.

Their athletic trainers failed to recognize that he was suffering from heatstroke and failed to take appropriate action. They will pay and pay big.

Families lawyer is claiming that an hour passed before 911 was called. However, ESPN reporter noted that she did not find any evidence of that.
