As Maryland interim coach, Matt Canada not ready to name starting quarterback or call himself head coach

Maryland interim head coach Matt Canada said Tuesday that he has decided on a starting quarterback for Saturday’s season opener against No. 23 Texas at FedEx Field, but is not yet ready to reveal who it will be. Redshirt freshman Kasim Hill and junior Tyrrell Pigrome are listed as co-No. 1s on the Terps’ depth chart.

Canada also said he has not assumed the title of head coach since third-year coach DJ Durkin still holds that while on paid administrative leave that began Aug. 11, in the wake of what ESPN called a “toxic” culture surrounding the football team.
