Falcons fans have a clear image of the culture Dan Quinn has built in Atlanta, whether you love it or not: It’s all about the Brotherhood. The team announced Monday that former Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin will join the staff as a guest coach for the duration of training camp, and Durkin’s very recent past raises questions about how he fits into this culture of Brotherhood.
Durkin spent two full seasons as Maryland’s head coach. Jordan McNair, a redshirt freshman, collapsed during team workouts in late May 2018. McNair died two weeks later, and his family announced the cause of death was heatstroke.
