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 never want someone to lose their job but he had to go.

Everything is trending in the right direction for Maryland football except the actual play on the field. Let's get a big name guy that can push this program over the top.

That would obviously be amazing but there is approximately a 1% chance of that happening.

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.

Well the first thing the next coach is going to have to fix is the offensive line. They get blown off the ball about every play.

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.

I wonder who is paying off Edsall's contract?

Bet it isn't the AD.

Mr. Plank?

Actually only $500,000 of the extension is guaranteed so it wouldn't cost much.

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?
