Report: Alabama OC Mike Locksley to Be Hired as Maryland Head Coach

The University of Maryland will reportedly announce Thursday that Alabama Crimson Tide assistant Mike Locksley has been hired as the Terrapins' new head football coach after DJ Durkin was fired in October.

Brett McMurphy of Stadium first reported the school's choice Tuesday.

Durkin's departure from the program came amid intense scrutiny.

Maryland launched an investigation into how the Terps' football team was run following a report in August from Heather Dinich, Adam Rittenberg and Tom VanHaaren of ESPN.com alleging a "coaching environment based on fear and intimidation" and an overall "toxic" culture.
