The ESPN story I read just pointed out how the staff would yell a lot and say mean things. If you think Maryland is the only school where they belittle a kid or yell at them I don't know what to tell you. These coaches are trying to get these kids in the best shape possible, they already did away with two a days so they are limited in how much they can train them. I'm sure they are pushing them hard just like every other school, they just happened to have 1 of their probably 90 kids fall out. Until an autopsy is done and we know if he had any health problems that were undetected you can't just fire the guy for pushing the kids hard.
I didn't see anything in the story of Durkin or his staff physically harming any players themselves like what Leavitt did to get himself fired. I remember after the Plancher death at UCF their were players who said O'Leary was too hard on them and his approach was too tough. Well he didn't get fired, he said he changed his style a bit but what happened was the kids who couldn't handle it transferred not the coach getting fired. You can't fire the coach because a few kids can't cut it in the weightroom or can't handle some tough love and criticism. That's why they allow kids to transfer, you can't handle how the coaches are you go to a new school, you don't go around firing coaches.
