Marshall defensive coordinator Chuck Heater is expected to be hired by Maryland football’s staff, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
It remains unclear what role Heater will have with the Terrapins — several outlets reported on Thursday that the 65-year-old will oversee the team’s safeties — but the addition of Heater will mark a reunion with Maryland Coach D.J. Durkin, who coached alongside Heater when both were assistants at Florida in 2010.
Maryland spokesman Dustin Semonavick did not confirm the hiring of Heater on Thursday, nor has Marshall confirmed the departure.
