Report: DJ Durkin Continued to Advise Maryland Coaches While on Administrative Leave

Former Maryland head coach DJ Durkin continued to advise the football team and assistant coaches while on adminstrative leave, reports The Baltimore Sun.

Sources told the Sun that Durkin informed an investigative task force that assistant coaches sent him game films to help create game plans, including ones for Maryland's season-opener victory over Texas. The university's board of regents reportedly knew of Durkin's actions while on leave, according to the Sun.

Durkin reportedly told the regents that athletic director Damon Evans approved his actions, while he also told the task force that the university did not limit his contact with the assistant coaches.
