Michigan defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin will be the next head coach at Maryland, according to several reports.
Durkin, 37, has a stellar resume as a defensive assistant. He’s worked with Jim Harbaugh at both Stanford and Michigan, and Urban Meyer and Will Muschamp at Florida. He served as Florida’s interim for the Birmingham Bowl following the 2014 season and led the Gators to a 28-20 win over East Carolina.
Michigan currently ranks fourth nationally in total defense.

Durkin replaces Randy Edsall, who was fired on Oct. 11 following the Terrapins' loss to Ohio State, which dropped them to 2-4. Offensive coordinator Mike Locksley stepped in as the interim and the Terps finished 1-5.
Edsall was 22-34 at Maryland and 10-24 in conference play. Maryland was 11-15 under Edsall as a member of the Big Ten.
