In the face of mounting pressure concerning the job status of Randy Edsall, Maryland issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying he remains the coach of the football program.
The one-sentence e-mail from the athletic department read: “Randy Edsall is our football coach and he will be on sideline Saturday for Ohio State.”
While Edsall said earlier this week that he wasn’t concerned with his job security ahead of Saturday’s game, criticism from fans and donors has been building as the team has struggled this season. One high-level donor, who spoke under the condition of anonymity earlier this week, said he was among a group of boosters threatening to cancel their season tickets should Edsall remain the coach.
