This has truly been one of the most astonishing weeks in my time covering and opining on local sports.
Obviously there's nothing positive about the astonishment, but it is astonishing nonetheless.
The University of Maryland's process of reinstating and ultimately firing football coach DJ Durkin is at best bewildering. The circumstances that led to both decisions deserve to be scrutinized well beyond whenever the school ultimately decides who their long-term answer will be to lead the program.
I've spent the week discussing the situation with various sources near the program and genuinely believe the confusion Maryland fans feel as shared by some of the people who were actually involved in the decision making.
