Maryland football introduced Mike Locksley as its head football coach Thursday in Cole Field House.
The introductory press conference was quite a grand event. The band performed before and after Locksley and athletic director Damon Evans took the stage. Donors, players and Maryland coaches from various sports joined reporters on the field.
Locksley reiterated multiple times throughout the press conference that Maryland was his dream job. He grew up a Maryland fan and attended football and basketball games growing up. He said the Terps remained one of the five teams he always kept tabs on—joining his alma maters Ballou High School and Towson University, the Washington Redskins and whichever team he’s coaching.
