SEC Coverage

Whoops, guess my previous post was a fanpost and should have been a fan shot (and since has been deleted). Sorry for that... But here is the post: State of the Terps...Football Version Jeez...was last year tough!!! I was seriously disappointed with Rockin' Randy's first year as Football Program CEO. He brought in a crappy OC whom he let go; a DC whom he primarily brought in as a LB coach but subsequently promoted to DC...before letting him go...sigh. Lets start with the issues before we end with the hopeful...

It's perfectly fitting imagery...Every game has the excitement of a funeral and Randy Edsall is the Grim Reaper of your football career/program. He'll be sporting an Under Armor branded cloak and scythe, of course. "Maryland: Where football goes to die."

Yesterday The Washington Post published an article by sports writer Eric Prisbell that succeeded in asking the kind of tough questions of a local football program (Maryland) that I wish a major media outlet would attempt to ask about BC. The article is balanced and does not attempt to editorialize either side of the story, yet takes into careful consideration the concern of the fans, students, and players' parents...

Maryland was apparently impressed by the way Edsall was able to get into the BCS despite having 4 losses. Per Joe Schad, he has been hired by Maryland. Dreams of a Pirate Sloop sailing up the Chesapeake have been dashed

It's too bad they didn't go with Mike Leach. I'm not sure Leach was the smarter hire, but he would have been a lot more fun.

Also, I'm SO glad that OU kicked Randy Edsall's UConn team's butt. I am SO freaking tired of Edsall and rest of the "technically, it was right" crowd. No, when it's called so inconsistently -- and is NEVER called in the situation it was called in during the Pinstripe Bowl -- then it's NOT right, in ANY sense.

If you can't schedule BC, become a head coach in a conference where your programs gets to play the Eagles? Randy Edsall hasn't exactly been shy about his desire to coach a "BCS program" over the past few years, and it looks like Edsall is showing interest in the head coaching position at Maryland. It sounds like it's Leach or bust in College Park, but Edsall to Maryland is certainly intriguing. The guys at Testudo Times are all over the Maryland coaching search.
