At some point, if he's able to carry Maryland football back to national relevancy, D.J. Durkin's intensity might become a caricature of itself, overblown and meme-centric like the quirky vigor of his mentor, Jim Harbaugh (it's no surprise that legend says the two once engaged in a bloody 90-minute basketball game ending in a 4-3 score). But for now, it's all fresh and new -- and probably refreshing for those who suffered through one too many monotone Randy Edsall platitudes about execution and "fine young men."
