Former University of Maryland football coach DJ Durkin reportedly advised assistant coaches and helped create game plans during his time on administrative leave during the 2018 season.
According to Jeff Barker of the Baltimore Sun, a task force was informed that assistants sent Durkin game film and received feedback during his absence.
Maryland's Board of Regents reportedly knew about Durkin's role with the team, and the now-former coach told the board that his involvement was approved by athletic director Damon Evans.
The Board of Regents cleared Durkin to return as head coach on Oct.
