| Mike Locksley Hired As Maryland Head Coach | | |
Maryland has hired former New Mexico coach Mike Locksley as its offensive coordinator, the school announced on Thursday.Locksley, who was fired by New Mexico four games into this season after winning just two games over three years, will replace Gary Crowton, who was demoted to a temporary administrative position. Locksley previously worked at Maryland as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.The hire comes on the heels of a disappointing 2-10 finish for first-year Maryland coach Randy Edsall, who has come under fire from fans and local media for the team's rapid decline from a nine-win season in 2010.The administration has remained loyal to Edsall in spite of the turmoil, in large part because of Edsall's costly six-year contract, under which he's guaranteed $10 million over the next five years. While his job remains safe, a full review of the program began after the season and staff changes were expected.
