Jordan McNair’s parents condemned the University System of Maryland’s Board of Regents after the panel announced its decision to retain the University of Maryland’s athletic director and head football coach despite their son’s death after a football team workout.

The McNair family had publicly called for head coach DJ Durkin to be fired, saying he should not be allowed to work with anyone else’s child.
