Kid was doing a current universal conditioning test.
2010+ reforms do not involve less heat or conditioning. They involve identifying players with sickle cell trait and immediately implementing emergency procedures when one of these players shows signs of heat stress. They also re-work said emergency procedures for all players.
Properly implementing the reforms means you probably save a life over the course of your career. Failing to do so means you let someone die.

The head coach is not a medical professional and thus isn’t in the chain of command for diagnosing heat stroke, which would be insane.
Millions of people dial 911 every year when they see a medical emergency unfolding. There are around 28 million 911 medical emergency calls per year. The vast majority of the people calling are not medical professionals, they just realize they are seeing a possible medical emergency.
Just not at Maryland apparently.

Medical team should answer to that.

Believe me, at least half of these are idiots calling because their back hurts.
Not arguing your point at all. But I know what that number represents

Does anyone even care that players and recruits love Durkin.

So your argument is that in 2025 heat stroke deaths are just the cost of doing business and not something people should question.
How many players would you sacrifice if it meant Auburn would finish 9-3?

Was he at the practice?
How common are practice related deaths? I saw a while ago that there were at least 30 since 2000.
Look at military training (combat training, basic training or functional training schools like Ranger School, etc) deaths occur and investigations occur.
If the leader of the organization was found at fault, they are relieved. However, it is often times another in the organization violating protocols or just a freak, unfortunate event. Leaders should be held accountable, but you can't be everywhere all at once.
Haven't seen the investigation results, but, if he were found at fault through direct negligence or action, I doubt he would be coaching.
Same holds for Brian Kelly.

You're not questioning anyrhing. You're outright saying Durkin killed a kid.
You're not even reading anything. The medical team makes those calls.
Same for the military. If an E3 private first class medic fresh out of AIT says someone should be medically pulled out of training then batallion commanders has to listen.

I don't give a shite about him at all. I'm just here for whatever dumpster fire you guys jump into next.

These clowns think a head football coach should be diagnosing and treating heat stroke.
The training, conditioning, and medical staff at Maryland failed and a player tragically died.
I’m glad that football coaches don’t decide which players are facing a medical emergency. That would be insane.
Alabama fans are generally retarded, this thread proves that again and again.
And for the "buck stops here" guys, interesting that you stop it with the football coach and not the AD or president of the university.

Ok, whatever you say champ.
Reading up on this situation from some of the links provided it was handled about as poorly as possible. From negligence killing the kid, to how the school and athletic department initially reacted, then the Maryland college system smashing their own collective dick with a hammer, it was a mess. Boosters blaming the player, players walking out on Durkin, Maryland student government organizing student protests, the Maryland governor wading into the situation, the Maryland university president telling the world that Maryland accepted legal and moral responsibility - but the staff directly involved refusing to accept any responsibility, Durkin not addressing the team when he was fired, the school settling multiple lawsuits with other players who claimed abuse after Durkin was fired. It could not have been handled any worse than it was.
Durkin sounds like he would be a good fit at Auburn or LSU.

He's a lock for LSU coach then...

You ain't lying.
Has this sidewalk guy managed to remove Brian Kelly's junk from his mouth yet?

Plus, the governor is already involved in the shite show at LSU, so he'll feel right at home

A second former staffer said that while he has seen and heard coaches curse at players, he'd never been on another coaching staff with this kind of philosophy. "The language is profane, and it's demeaning at times," he said. "When you're characterizing people in such derogatory and demeaning terms, particularly if they don't have a skill level you think they need to aspire to, or they may never get, then it's rough to watch and see because if it was your son, you wouldn't want anybody talking to your son that way."
Hate to burst your bubble but there are videos posted all the time of Kirby Smart losing his shite over the megaphone at practice. Sounds like he had a program full of pussies which is believable at a place like Maryland

The kid died while doing required conditioning tests. Every program in America does that. College or NFL.
Who's job is to make sure that personnel are in place that monitor student athletes and remove them from life threatening activities?

I told you he was cleared from all wrongdoing and here's what you said
Now make that make sense.
Sounds like a hit piece to me.
