Maryland went ahead and made things official tonight, announcing Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley as their next head coach. Locksley was the focal point of this search. Most felt it was just a matter of time.
The Locksley move obviously affects Tennessee directly, at least potentially. Nick Saban now has an opening and will have to find someone else to call plays for Tua Tagovailoa and company. Rough gig, huh?
Locksley turned that job into a head coaching opportunity in just one season. It’s obviously the most attractive offensive coordinator job on the market now. But with Saban hire from within?
