Maryland Terrapins 2019 Football Preview

New coach with a bunch of new players means that there’s probably a lot of work to be done in Maryland.

Maryland football has found it rough since moving to the Big Ten in 2014. After a 7-6 inaugural season, the Terrapins have gone 18-31 overall and 9-27 in conference play. But when you play in the east division, wins are going to be tough to come by; Maryland is 2-17 against east division schools with names that don’t rhyme with Buttgers. Coaching turnover hasn’t helped either; Randy Edsall was fired in 2015 after sliding from back-to-back winning seasons. Last season, DJ Durkin was dismissed in the aftermath of the tragic death of redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jordan McNair during summer workouts.

Mike Locksley returns to Maryland as head coach after spending the last two years as Nick Saban’s offensive coordinator at Alabama. Locksley was Edsall’s offensive coordinator at Maryland from 2012 through 2015 and was named interim head coach for the second half of the 2015 season. Prior to Maryland, Locksley was the head coach at New Mexico from 2009-11 and has a career record of 3-31.
