In the midst of a turbulent and troubling start to the 2015 season, Maryland fired football Coach Randy Edsall on Sunday.

The move ends days of speculation surrounding Edsall’s future and opens an uncertain chapter for a reeling Maryland program that has been blown out in three consecutive games and suffered eroding support this season in home attendance and among donors. Edsall, 57, was terminated with one year remaining on his initial six-year deal.
