Maryland football officially introduced Mike Locksley as its head coach Thursday. The press conference doubled as a homecoming celebration. Cheerleaders and band members were the opening act for Locksley and Damon Evans. The new coach called the whole thing a “dream come true.”
With the pomp and circumstance over, it’s officially time to get to work.
Locksley will be wearing two hats over the next month or so. He’s still the offensive coordinator at Alabama, and will continue to hold that position through the College Football Playoff. At the press conference, he said he’d be in College Park into next week putting the groundwork in place, then return to Alabama Dec.
