Maryland Football Players Defend DJ Durkin: 'I Really Hope' Coach Comes Back

Maryland Terrapins defensive tackle Oseh Saine and punter Wade Lees went on the record to discuss their experience at the program and express their desire to see head coach DJ Durkin remain at the school.

"I hope his name and reputation doesn't get tarnished," Saine said in an interview with WUSA in Washington, D.C. "He doesn't deserve any of the things people are saying about him."

Lees echoed a similar sentiment: "I really hope coach Durkin comes back to coach us, because he's done all the hard work to getting us so close to succeeding.
