Head Coach John Harbaugh may want to be careful with how much he praises new Maryland Football Head Coach D.J. Durkin.
After all, Harbaugh’s brother, Jim, will now have to recruit and coach against Durkin after he left Michigan.
That didn’t stop Harbaugh from giving Maryland’s new official hire a big thumbs up Wednesday afternoon after hearing the news.
“I think it’s a great hire by Maryland,” Harbaugh said. “He’s tough, he’s hard-nosed, he believes in playing great defense, he’s a heck of a recruiter.”
Durkin was regarded as one of the top college coordinators in the country.
