Speculation about the job security of Maryland coach Randy Edsall could end any day now, but the bigger questions surrounding the future of the Terps football program will not be answered soon and certainly cannot be answered easily.
Edsall accomplished some of the goals that athletic director Kevin Anderson set forth after the Terps fired Ralph Friedgen. The football program increased its emphasis on the academic side of the student-athlete equation. The school — with the help of Under Armour — embarked on an ambitious facility improvement plan. Recruiting improved, though the rough start this season has obscured that progress.
