Maryland to fire Edsall
It looks like Maryland will fire Edsall going into the Bye week after Ohio State. Maybe the players will send him out with a bang and upset OSU, or they'll lose by 50. It'll be interesting to see who they target as their next coach.

Last time a checked, there was a certain familiar HC coaching a regressing team in the state of Maryland whose entry into the B1G East would make for some interesting narratives, just sayin'.

You never go against the family. Jim and John are part Sicilian. They know.
October 8th, 2015 at 1:01 PM ^
Except for that whole Super Bowl thing a few years ago.
Besides, John would be a target to coach at Indy. And everyone "knows" that elite NFL coaches never go back to coach in college.

Why on earth would John Harbaugh leave for the dumpster fire that is Maryland football?

Maryland fans have officially reached certifiable levels. Why in the living hell would Chip Kelly quit his job with the Eagles to coach at that shitty school? I almost feel bad for them. This is more stupid than suggesting Saban will ditch Alabama for Texas.

Edsall is kind of a dick. He doesn't respect his players very much, seems to be clueless of the goings-on in the locker room and had to get fired soon to save the university money. You can only be a dick like that and keep players' attention (and your job) if ya actually win. His firing was inevitable.
Maryland has the money to bring in a top-tier guy/staff. Hope they can get back to respectability soon. Big 10 East needs to have more decent 6/7 win teams.
October 8th, 2015 at 1:03 PM ^
Maybe they should go back to Friedgen.
October 8th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
But hey worth a shot, right? Guy won the conference champtionship in his first year there. Probably not possible in the Big 10 with they way the top teams are trending, but they could do worse.
October 8th, 2015 at 12:58 PM ^
With Mark Packer (sp).

If I'm Maryland, I look at the shitty attendance, the lack of history, and the lack of overall talent on the roster and I throw a Hail Mary.
I go after Ken Niumatulolo. Give him five years and see if he can turn Maryland into the Big Ten's Georgia Tech.
October 8th, 2015 at 1:12 PM ^
may be the most out-of-the-box but potentially successful idea yet. I like this better than my Ruffin ONeill idea above. Cut blocks and triple option for EVERYONE!
October 8th, 2015 at 2:41 PM ^
Love this idea, and it checks a lot of boxes. Familiarity with local area, a unique system that can be used as an equalizer, and a guy who can likely deliver the 7-9 victories a year to keep Maryland fans happy.
That said, Niumatalolo is a GOD at Navy and seems pretty content there, Navy also just joined the AAC and is getting poised to start reaping the benefits of conference affiliation the same way Air Force has through it's being in the Mt. West.

Charlie strong gets fired at Texas, Chip Kelly takes that job and Strong goes to Maryland.
October 8th, 2015 at 1:16 PM ^
They could let him finish the season, they will pay him anyways. This will not delay the coaching change in anyway I think. Unless he has really lost his team, which really didn't show since they played Michigan tough for the most part.

This is clearly the reason John Harbaugh was at the game last weekend.
He was interviewed at halftime

Bad timing with the Columbus folks coming up. Was really hoping for an upset

In Columbus in college park on the moon it won't matter OSU should blow them out

Just don't hire Tom Herman. I don't want him back in the big ten unless he's in Ann Arbor.

I'd have a few guys I'd interview or be interested in if I were Maryland. Rich Rod, Mike Leach, Bo Pelini, Tom Herman, or PJ Fleck...
