Durkin, who was also Florida’s defensive coordinator under Will Muschamp, became UF’s interim head coach for the Birmingham Bowl before heading to Michigan under Jim Harbaugh. Durkin coached for the Gators from 2010-2014.
Durkin’s ties to Florida are a plus for Maryland, and he’ll recruit Virginia and the Carolinas better than most think. He’s a good defensive mind and even better recruiter.
