-
“I know from coaching the other sideline against Will [Likely], one of my biggest concerns or worries was when he had the ball in his hands.” – DJ Durkin in the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun
-
“Maryland hired one of the best coaches in the country…He's going to do very well. And he's going to be an excellent recruiter too, especially in that area.” – Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer to the Washington Post
-
“[Facing Maryland under Durkin] will be a football fight. … I wish I could say I was looking forward to it. I'm not.” Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to the Baltimore Sun
-
“I want to get it to a point where…I know the whole offense. If I know the whole offense, then it will help me better my game, not only as an offensive person. It will help me understand offense more while I'm playing defense too.” – Cornerback William Likely in the Washington Post
-
“[The quarterback competition] is certainly not going to be determined by us. Those guys are going to determine who contributes and who starts.” – DJ Durkin to the Washington Post

Maryland's D.J. Durkin is by far the most excited I've ever seen a head coach be for a media day.
— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) July 26, 2016I will say this, coming out of Big Ten Media Days: Both Rutgers (Ash) and Maryland (Durkin) upgraded coaches. Such a tough division, though.
