Though Randy was dismissed from the U, there is no doubt he was a tremendous recruiter in the Miami area. He would be a TREMENDOUS addition to Randy Edsall’s staff. UCLA offered the DC position to Shannon but Shannon deferred his decision to talk to the Terps. More tomorrow night on Terp Talk.

Maryland head football coach Randy Edsall announced Monday that Andre Powell has joined the staff as running backs coach.

The following is an excerpt from the Sun about the 3 Florida kids reacted.”I thought he was a good coach,” said Edsall, who … Read More »

terrapintimes.com is reporting that Gary Crowton is close to leaving LSU and joining the staff of Maryland as Offensive Coordinator. This is a great move by Coach Edsall.

Close the deal guys!!!!
