Mike London, Maryland football’s associate head coach, is expected to be named head coach at Howard, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
London, 56, who resigned as Virginia’s head coach in 2015 after five seasons, spent just one year on DJ Durkin’s staff in College Park, where he also served as a defensive line coach and helped bolster the program’s recruiting presence in Virginia’s Hampton Road’s region. Neither Maryland nor Howard officials would confirm London’s hiring on Friday evening. London did not respond to a request for comment.
He was one of Durkin’s first hires at Maryland, singing a two-year, $800,000 deal last December and becoming a key figure on a diverse staff that briefly included three former head coaches.
