A few years late, but...

It couldnt have happened to a more worthy school and coach. Edsall may be a Syracuse alum, but he is not well respected in these parts. SU fans hate him for his dirty recruiting while in the BE.

I was surprised when they fired the Fridge. He was probably their best coach in their history.

Looks like moving to the Big 10 didn't help Maryland any. Let that be a warning to the realignment fantasists. lol

UA will spend $$ for a high profile Coach

Like who?

I scour boards for schools like Tennessee, Nebraska, etc, and they're always the same. Just switch them out in previous seasons for Florida, USC, Penn State, Texas whatever. It's always the same.

"We've got the money, back up the Brinks truck to a proven, successful high profile coach and get this done!"

Well, who the hell are people talking about?

Nick Saban? Urban Meyer? That's not happening.

Who's next on that list?
You've got probably Gary Patterson, Willingham at Utah, Art Briles? There might be three schools capable of making a run at Jimbo Fisher or Dabo Swinney, but people seem to think they're mediocre at best LOL.

John Gruden?

The proven, successful high profile coach is extremely elusive. People act like there are a dozen to choose from.

I don't care how much UA wants to spend, Maryland is not luring Briles, Patterson or Willingham I'm fairly certain. They'll get what everyone gets...some hot mid major coach or coordinator who will either be good or bust out like Hoke or Muschamp.

Bet they could get Ty Willingham, he's a program builder(Destroyer).

They can't get UA to front the conversion of Cole to a football center & people this.k they will shell out money for a coach? The only thing that I think is realistic & might qualify as major would be taking a chance on someone like Butch Davis or Jim Tressel

I think Maryland is trying to get ahead of the curve by locking down a candidate before other jobs open up.

Eventually Schiano is going to get something. Maybe this is it.

Schiano can't follow his path for success at Maryland. The B1G isn't going to allow him to build up a facade of a record by playing weak HBCUs.

Kevin Plank has already donated $25 million. The new Cole Field House will include Under Armour in its name.

Chip Kelly is the fan favorite.

If I'm Chip Kelly do I take the Maryland gig or hold out for Texas when they get rid of Strong...knowing they will pay me whatever I want.

But Plank hasn't shown he is willing to throw around Phil Knight/Nike type money that Oregon gets has he?

Oregon may not have the wealthy boosters that UMCP has. Plank also stated that he wanted the UMCP community to contribute as a matter of state pride and getting alumni re-engaged. With Plank's $25 million gift, UMCP was nearly half way towards the goal of raising $95 million in private money to redevelop Cole Field House. That was nearly one year ago. In the last few days the local papers have hinted that Edsall may be the barrier towards reaching that fundraising goal.

Plank's money may be needed for future projects. For example, Byrd Stadium may have to be expanded again to compete against the big boys in the Big Ten East. Personally, I think UMCP should just buy FedEx Field after Dan Snyder, a MD alumnus and Washington Redskins owner, builds a new stadium in DC in the next decade.

That's my point, Plank is contributing & expects other Maryland boosters to help while Knight writes the checks that allow Oregon to compete at the highest level, they have little need to raise funds. Knight fronted(covered the expenses) of their state of the art practice facility as a example

He is well rested.

Does Maryland have a good golf course close by?


If not Ty, what about Lane Kiffin?
