Former Maryland coach Randy Edsall, who was fired by the university Sunday afternoon, released a statement Monday night.
"On behalf of myself and my family I want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to be part of the University of Maryland as its football coach," Edsall wrote in an email. "I am proud of the great progress we made with our student-athletes, not just on the field but in the community and the classroom. We take away a lot of great memories during our stay here at College Park and wish everyone the best in the coming months and years.
