Dear Mr. Bruce Posner:
As a valued and generous supporter of the University of Maryland, I am writing to inform you of my decision to relieve Randy Edsall of his duties as head football coach at the University of Maryland. I am grateful to Randy for his many great contributions to the well-being of Maryland students and the football program. I’m particularly proud of the academic accomplishments and community service activities from our football program during his years as our football team’s leader.
As we are now members of the Big Ten Conference, it is critical that the University of Maryland puts a competitive team on the field. Seeing Maryland students be successful on and off the field is our top priority and I will begin searching for the next head football coach immediately. I thank you for the many ways you support Maryland Athletics and our football program, and I look forward to introducing our new coach in the near future.
Go Terps!
Kevin Anderson
Director of Athletics
