BALTIMORE (AP) Though DJ Durkin has been fired as Maryland’s football coach, Gov. Larry Hogan says questions remain regarding the decision to reinstate him in the first place.
Hogan was among several state politicians who criticized the University System of Maryland board of regents for reinstating Durkin from administrative leave on Tuesday. Hogan approved the decision by University President Wallace Loh on Wednesday to dismiss Durkin, saying Thursday, ”We’re in a better place.”
Hogan can’t understand how the board reached the decision to bring back Durkin, and plans to investigate after next week’s gubernatorial election.
”We’ve called for public hearings to get to the bottom of this and figure out if more needs to be done,” Hogan said. ”We can ask for peoples’ resignations at some point if we feel that that’s the proper step, but the last thing we’re going to do is try to politicize the process four days before an election.
”We’re going to do a thorough review. We’re going to find out what happened and get to the bottom of it.”
