Mark Duffner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Duffner was the coach of the Maryland Terrapins football team from 1992-1996. He compiled a 20-35 record. He appeared in no bowl games. Duffner's lone winning season came in 1995 when the Terps finished with a 6-5 record. However, the 1995 season started with four straight wins.

Duffner's legacy at Maryland will be in the record books where most of the longstanding single game, season, and career passing and receiving record were broken during his tenure.

Prior to College Park, Duffner was head coach at Holy Cross where he compiled a 60-5-1 record.

After leaving Maryland, Duffner was an assistant with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1997 to 2002 where he was linebackers coach and then defensive coordinator. From 2003 to 2005, he was with the Green Bay Packers. In early 2006, he was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as the linebackers coach.
