I guess some credit to Loh for the personal apology.

I doubt they do anything but deflect.

President Wallace D. Loh says Maryland accepts legal and moral responsibility for mistakes the training staff made that led to Jordan McNair’s death.

Thus far, Maryland's avoided laying blame at DJ Durkin’s feet. However, the statement by Maryland's president certainly suggests the school accepts moral, legal, and extremely likely financial responsibility for Jordan McNair's death.

Now, will Maryland fire or force Durkin and other football coaches, strength coaches, or other Maryland athletic department employees to resign? Or, try to skate by with the head strength coach's firing/resignation.

Yeah that’s the opposite of Loh. He’ll be training folks at Planet Fitness if he lucky.

Only because it’s a no judgment zone...

I guess some credit to Loh for the personal apology.

Some, but...
Loh: "Based on what we know at this time ... I said to the family, the university owes you an apology. You entrusted Jordan to our care and he is never returning home again." ...comes off as little cool and remote. Hopefully he was more sincere and expressive with them.

I never expected them to accept any blame. This opens them up to significant law suit.

I just watched the clip, Loh appeared very sincere in the presser. I’m glad he accepted responsibility. It’s so common for universities to deny and deflect, Loh did none of that.

It's reassuring that Coach Court will be taking everything he's "learned" into his next opportunity. If he's thinking about his next opportunity he's learned nothing. Maybe have somebody with a conscience proofread the most important letter of your life before you send it X-coach.

Except blaming the training staff. Those folks are like student assistants and such with maybe a professional who oversees them. Durkin is done though. Can’t possibly survive this

It’s inconcievable how the Head Coach, whose charged with responsibility for every aspect of their program, from nutrition to bed time, somehow has no responsibility for overseeing the health and welfare of student athletes. You don’t need to be a doctor to know when you’ve pushed guys to unsafe levels of exhaustion. He allowed it. He owns it. This has happened way too often to claim ignorance.

His next opportunity should be strength and fitness coach in the Maryland state prison.

Ooof....
A year before Jordan McNair’s death, Maryland president nixed plan to overhaul athletes’ health care

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

This is getting really ugly. Durkin won’t survive this but he’ll have some company.
