In a previous life, Mike Gundy was an assistant coach at Maryland, under Ron Vanderlinden, from 1997-2000. But that was long ago and far away. Gundy says he knows nothing about the Terrapins these days, or the scandal that has rocked college football.
In the wake of the death of Maryland football player Jordan McNair during off-season workouts, ESPN published a scathing report on the Terrapins’ mistreatment of players and toxic football culture. Strength and conditioning coach Rick Court was fired; head coach D.J. Durkin was suspended. An investigation continues.
Last week, I asked Gundy if the Maryland scandal makes him take stock of how he runs the OSU program.
