The progress Maryland made on the field the past two seasons and the promise of a strong recruiting class in 2016 has led the university to give football coach Randy Edsall a contract extension.
Edsall, who has two years remaining on a six-year contract that pays him $2.1 million annually, has agreed to a three-year extension, athletic director Kevin Anderson announced Tuesday.
The extension was signed after several months of negotiations between the university and the 56-year-old coach.
The contract amendment, a copy of which was obtained by The Baltimore Sun through a Maryland Public Information Act request, includes a raise of nearly $400,000 annually beginning in 2017 plus on-field performance bonuses.
