There are a few reasons why I think Edsall is a good hire, but I want to focus on one specifically. A lot of coaches do their new school some lip-service during the introductory press conference by saying that coaching at the particular school is a “dream job.” In reality, this is often just coach-speak. If Malzahn had been hired, he surely would have called Maryland a dream job. Surely, he would also jump to an SEC head coaching job … Read More »
Five reasons why Mike Leach should be and most likely will be the next head coach of the Maryland Terrapins:
1) It is clear Leach is the #1 choice of Terrapin nation. This makes it a safe pick for the AD.
2) The program needs excitement and a belief that it could go all the way.
3) Leach will sell tickets ASAP.
4) Leach’s brand of football is a upbeat, daring, Brand. Watching Texas Tech under Leach was a pure … Read More »
This virtually was never a game. ECU was overmatched everywhere. Like I predicted Md played with a chip on it’s shoulder. Throughout the game chants of Ralph have echoed through RFK.
Maryland opened up with a bomb to Dorsey that was intercepted. But that has been about the only mistake on offense.
ECU must have thrown 15 short 5yard passes in the 1st … Read More »
Terrapin Nation is filling up RFK as I write. Go to YouTube.com and search Bruce Posner military bowl for videos throughout the game.

Shortly after Ralph was hired there was the annual Terrapin club event at Artie Donovan’s Country Club in Baltimore. I had a chance to sit down with Ralph with 6 or 7 Terrapin members. This was long before my start on the air waves. Was impressed me immediately was when I asked him if he saw 6 wins in the near future,. (remember now, Maryland hadn’t been to a bowl in a long while). He busted out laughing and said … Read More »
This is not the way anyone wanted Ralph’s career to end at College Park. But the choice came down to a lame duck year, a new 4 or 5 year contract or 100% buyout of his remaining year. Ralph will receive $2 Million dollars for not coaching next year. To guess what could have happened is pure conjecture but perhaps the University tried to cut a deal and Ralph and his lawyers said no deal.Kevin Anderson was obviously unwilling to … Read More »
No more speculation!! As things officially unfold I will report them. As of this second Ralph is still the Coach, and Leach has not signed. So be it. Let’s take a look at Ralph’s tenure at Maryland.
Friedgen has a 74-50 record in nine-plus years, including the only three straight 10-win seasons in school history (10-2 in 2001, 11-3 in 2002 and 10-3 in 2003). His 74 overall victories rank 10th on the ACC’s all-time list .

If, and it seems almost certain, that Mike Leach becomes the new head coach of the Terrapins, AD Kevin Anderson will have completed a series of steps designed to do 2 things–fill the many empty seats at Byrd and bring Terrapin football back to national prominence. The Coach in waiting theory might have been a good idea at first but recently it has wrecked havoc with the program. By James leaving for Vanderbilt and Ralph being bought out of his … Read More »
WOW, I was sitting at my desk at work at 5PM and then all hell broke loose. Here are some of the issues.
It’s obvious that James Franklin is on his way to Vanderbilt. Done deal!
It’s apparent according to terrapintimes.com that 4,5 or 6 assistants are following Franklin to Vandy.
Kevin Anderson has stated that NO decision has been made on Ralph’s return for 2011. ACC ‘s Coach of the Year?
Will Ralph be bought out?
Speculation … Read More »
