I see he has a new temporary coaching job with the Atlanta Falcons.

I think the NFL is the only place he could go, no way an NCAA program would touch him considering the dude was partly responsible for a kid dying at Maryland. Even some of his players walked out on him because of his role in it.

I don’t believe he meant for a kid to die but it did happen on his watch. What do most schools do when this happens? I don’t know

Notre Dame did absolutely nothing to Brian Kelly when that student died following the scissors lift accident. 

Try to remember that WE have a culture problem.

@tsuga

Tsuga, sometimes bad things just happens. You have to wonder if some of these kids are healthy enough to play but if they pass a physical what do you do?

SPF: The ND incident was pure negligence.  They sent a kid up in the air on a scissor lift in over 50mph winds and it collapsed and killed him.  

This poor kid wasnt on the team, he was a videographer.  Had BK held practice indoors or insisted that this kid NOT go up on the lift, he'd be alive today.

He played a part in one of their teammates dying. I already said that. They felt he fostered a terrible atmosphere in the locker room, and gave to much latitude to his coaches to abuse the players. One of them eventually died of pure negligence, so obviously there was truth in it.

When DJ Durkin was reinstated by the University many players walked out of his speech to the team, and he was fired by the president of UM the next day.

I still don’t know what happened so this is way above my head but I wonder why he was reinstated if it was his fault. Maryland football has been a disaster since they fired Ralph Freidgen and he was winning a lot of football games.

The President wanted him fired but the BoT at Maryland thought he would sue them if they fired him.
