Aggies have found their defensive coordinator replacement in DJ Durkin fueling his past controversies. Here is an update in 2022.
Daniel John Durkin or DJ Durkin is a renowned football coach who has had experience with the University of Maryland and the University of Mississippi. He is now in the news after Texas A&M Aggies have named him their new defensive coordinator.
However, turning back to 2018, with all the allegations against him that turned ugly, how is the coach still in demand in 2022?
DJ Durkin Controversy Update: Toxic Culture Leads To Suspension
DJ Durkin got into controversy while he was actively working as a coach at the University of Maryland. He was accused of intimidating and creating a fearful environment among his players. Verbal abuse, belittling, and humiliation was common.
Further, the eating habits endorsed were criticized by many players. Following the series of toxic events in Maryland along with the death of a player pointed fingers at Durkin leading to his suspension.
An article written by USAToday claims that the coach never deserved a second chance and rightly so. Twitter today has again brought up the 2018 controversy and discussions on the same.
His business partner, Chris Partridge’s death hoax is circulating on the web recently. Twitteratis are connecting it to DJ and his past controversy but the Chris Partridge who died is a different person. It has nothing to do with the coach.
DJ Durkin Salary As New Texas A&M Coach
DJ Durkin’s salary was estimated to be around $700,000 per year at the University of Maryland as a football coach. Similarly, moving on to Ole Miss, he was certainly earning a similar amount, but the exact amount was never clear.
As a defensive coordinator at Texas A&M, he might be earning up to a million per year but the official statement has not come out.
What Is DJ Durkin Net Worth?
Durkin is still an on-demand football coach at the age of 43 which suggests he has accumulated a good amount of net worth in his career.
He was an active player in the late 90s for Bowling Green where he played defensive end and outside linebacker. After that, he started his coaching career in the early 2000s. A little hit and miss here and there but there has been no turning back for the coach since then.
Hence, DJ certainly has a wealth of more than 10 million dollars.
