Maryland's athletic director missed on his last football coaching search, but he's hit on some other big ones.
In hiring Randy Edsall, Kevin Anderson blew it.
That's not an indictment of Anderson's decision-making in 2011, when Edsall was coming off a BCS appearance at Connecticut and looked, to many, like a hot coaching prospect. But it is a referendum on Edsall's results, which weren't nearly good enough. The numbers – 22-33 in five years, including 0-11 against ranked opposition – are brutal. Anderson wanted Maryland to go from "good to great," and Maryland went from good to something less than mediocre.
