My guess:
Santucci - Co-DC/LBs
Price - DE
Robinson - DL
Rushing - DBs
Durkin - C0-DC, no position specified

I don't mean this as part of an argument. I simply offer this as data for your consideration.
This is a post from a Maryland fan on reddit:
But what about the players walking out?
This is a post from a Maryland fan on reddit:

There's a reason he wasn't fired with cause.

"After Dr. Walters provided his preliminary report in late July, suggesting that the training staff bore some responsibility for the tragedy, Mr. Durkin urged Mr. Evans to retain a new training staff before August practices began, to ensure the safety of the players."
"[Mr. Durkin] states that he repeatedly requested that a physician be assigned to cover every football practice, and Mr. Anderson has confirmed that Mr. Durkin made this request"
"In interviews with the Commission, Mr. Durkin expressed frustration with the level of support, and the lack of communication, he received from Athletics. He was particularly upset when UMD reorganized the doctors providing care to the football players. Mr. Durkin felt that one physician, who had treated football players for several years, was trusted by the players. This physician was removed from her position without prior notice to, let alone input from, Mr. Durkin."
These do not seem like the actions of a raving lunatic. He is not an old-school no water football guy. He spoke at Jordan's funeral.
But what about the players walking out?
quote:
There was a big split in the players that were holdovers from the previous staff and the ones he recruited. Same reason Tyrell Pigrome and Chance Campbell transferred to Ole Miss. Antoine Brooks family and Wade Lees defended Durkin. JC Jackson literally said "just being around Coach Durkin, he just taught me to be a man".
There was an extremely nasty war of public opinion waged by the lawyer because of the horrible communication to the parents of Jordan McNair from the school and the ****ed up Athletic department about the reasons why Jordan died. Durkin was the most recognizable person in the incident and that's who they went after. The corresponding story in ESPN had zero to do with Wes Robinson and Nordwall's inability to treat heatstroke after a standard conditioning drill.
