Locksley interim head coach.

I'm surprised at the timing, but I can't say I blame them. Edsall was always uninspiring at best.

I was never on the Edsall train but anything that could potentially make Haskins de-commit is a bad thing. Unless Chip Kelly is the replacement, I say keep Edsall and see what he can do with Haskins. His first actual QB.

No way in hell. It sounds like Haskins is on board regardless but I'd lose him to get rid of Edsall and get somebody that can take advantage of what UA is giving us. Edsall was a bad bad hire from the start.

Yep, the timing is right. Terps are about to get blown out by the Buckeyes. That will make 3 consecutive losses where the Terps were nowhere near competitive. Add to that the Bowling Green loss at home and that means it's over for the Edsall era.

That said, they need to get a real coach not a retread. Someone will want to take advantage of what UA can provide.

I don't get that logic. They just gave the guy a 3 year extension 3 months ago. The timing is definitely not right. Should have been fired long ago or should get to see what he can do with his top recruiting class. And it's not like Chip Kelly or any coach that is a significant upgrade is coming through that door.

Kevin Anderson can't do anything right.

This is his 5th season so he's had time to bring in his recruits to fit his program. Other than beating Penn State and Michigan in their down years he's done nothing.

With the exception of Rutgers I can't see them being competitive the rest of the season. Time for him to go.

Fridge is the only guy who has had anything more than a hiccup of success at Maryland in the last 35 years. It's not going to be easy to find the guy who can make Maryland a football power.

I guess we can hope for lightning in a bottle. But how many middling programs rise to become consistent winners?

      After his Cy Young performance against us, Marsh was very pedestrian in his next 2 starts.  Be nice to take tonight's game with Ragans pitching tomorrow.  2 out of 3 would be a great result.

      Should win tonight. There’s no way they can get shut down by a pitcher of Marsh’s capabilities twice.

      WC wanted to give him a contract extension.  Others agreed although I don’t remember who they were.  I think Frobby was open to the discussion??

      I've seen Stowers "lollygag" a lot this year. I wonder if he's just frustrated being stuck in AAA once again. No matter how everything is presented, these guys have to be upset that they are stuck in AAA when they could be playing in the MLB with other orgs.  Of course the best way to get out of that is to perform, but that's easier said than done. Saying all that, Stowers has always been a streaky hitter. He's white hot or ice cold.

      Here's John Means statcast info from this last start. Here was his main problem. He couldn't throw many quality strikes and was pulling almost everything glove side. I'm no pitching expert, and I don't know where he was standing on the rubber, but Ben McDonald talks about this all the time where the pitcher needs to make an adjustment on the pitching rubber when he missing to one side too often. Here's his movement since 2019 T The one thing to note is Means' stuff has been pretty average to below average since 2021. He's always relied on changing speeds and location vs incredible stuff. He had no location in this last start but everything else like velocity and movement look similar to the last few years.  So I'm not overly worried about Means. I also don't expect him to be much better than Irvin if and when he comes back, but you never know.

      Their 55 relief innings are a MLB low ytd as all the starters have done well.    I think they probably want to ride those horses as much as they can as one of my takeaways from the first series was how slow all the relievers throw. Witt's a good MVP rabbit for Gunnar to chase, and he might bring up the question if a Club can still get a Prospect Promotion incentive bonus pick if the player is technically out of pre-Arb by virtue of having signed a LTC. Here are the ERA starting numbers of the lowest-tier of AL SP in strikeout rate: 6-4-8-6-8-1-10-4-7-7-6-7.    Marsh and Lugo have two of the low numbers there. Maikel Garcia has gone ice cold, a bit surprising as he looked All World against us.    They are just now getting perhaps intended starting 2B Michael Massey back from a spring injury (Adam Frazier all singles so far on the season). Burnes-Ragans rematch should have our guy's dander up...we pulled it out against the bullpen but he was outpitched by a lot that night.    Doesn't matter now but it looks like Ragans has never thrown more than about 2200 pitches in a season, in case they end up needing him for more than 26.5 regular season weeks.

      Well, he didn't know he was going to have a short stint when he was pitching.
