However, his teams were notoriously weak on defense, frequently giving up points so fast that even his prolific offense couldn't keep up.

However, his teams were notoriously weak on defense, frequently giving up points so fast that even his prolific offense couldn't keep up. Duffner's only winning season came in 1995 when the Terps finished with a 6–5 record and started with four consecutive wins.
