Maryland secured its immediate future while maintaining long-term flexibility.
News broke Tuesday that Maryland football coach Randy Edsall, he of the 20-30 record and an 0-2 bowl record at the school, has received a three-year contract extension and a raise. I'm here to tell you that's good news, regardless what you think of the head coach.
First, the details. Edsall is now under contract through 2019 (previously, his contract was done after the 2016 season). He'll still make the original $2.1 million for each of the next two seasons, with a raise of nearly $400,000 annually starting with the 2017 season.
