The University of Maryland officially concluded its search for its next head football coach Tuesday night. The search turned up a familiar face, as former Maryland assistant and interim head coach Mike Locksley was given the title fresh off an impressive season as Alabama’s offensive coordinator.
It will be Locksley’s third time as a coach at the university, but the first time he’s fully in charge. He came close to the job back in 2015 after taking over for Randy Edsall midseason. Locksley went 1-5 as the interim head coach, and the school ultimately decided on DJ Durkin as the next head coach.
