Canada finalized the agreement Tuesday and was on Maryland's campus to meet with the team. He will sign a three-year contract with the school.
LSU parted ways with Canada earlier this month after he spent just one season as the Tigers' offensive coordinator despite receiving a three-year contract that paid him $1.5 million per year. Canada and LSU reached a separation agreement that will pay him $1.7 million.
Canada replaces Walt Bell, who left earlier this month to become Florida State's offensive coordinator. Canada has led offenses at LSU, Pitt, NC State, Wisconsin, Indiana, Northern Illinois and Butler.
