D.J. Durkin, who was the head coach at Maryland when offensive lineman Jordan McNair died weeks after an offseason workout, will join the football staff at the University of Mississippi
Durkin was fired in October 2018 by the University of Maryland president one day after the school's board of regents voted to reinstate him.Three months earlier, McNair, a 19-year-old redshirt freshman, was taken from the field after struggling during sprints. McNair had heatstroke and two weeks later he died at a hospital.Ole Miss Athletics Director Keith Carter said the department did its due diligence, doing a background check and speaking with coaches.
Jordan McNair's death prompted two reports in 2018, one into the how he was cared for on the day he was hospitalized and another into the culture of football at the University of Maryland.An independent medical report found several issues with the treatment of McNair, including failure to assess his vital signs, not having proper cooling devices and failure to recognize quickly he was having heat illness.
