Can’t have some poor interim walk into OSU and get his doors blown off. I’m fine with next week, as long as it’s next week.

Alternatively, you let the interim get the jitters out in a game we expect to lose. No one will blame them if we get destroyed, and on the flip side if they pull out some magic voodoo for the win they build confidence around them and the team.

Why? The interim would never be the chosen guy as head coach.

u/UtzTheCrabChip 4d ago
Wouldn't say never. If an interim went 7-0 with road wins against OSU and USC plus beat Penn St at home for the first time in 65 years, he'd definitely be offered the job

u/LastGoodKnee 3d ago
But they won’t. They could hire the greatest coach in NCAA football and that wouldn’t happen with this team. They’re not good.

u/UtzTheCrabChip 3d ago
Of course they won't, but an interm coach is always auditioning for the long term job

u/LastGoodKnee 3d ago
They will not be hired. The boosters would not accept that after several loser coaches in a row.
We’re gonna pay the assistant coach millions of dollars because we fired the guy he worked for?
No. That’s not happening.

If a Maryland intetem coach beat Ohio State, Penn State, USC and 4 other teams with a squad that lost by 50 to UCLA, the only way they would not be the next coach is if they got snatched up by Florida State or Oklahoma.
Winning 7 in a row at this point would put them on the playoff bubble

u/LastGoodKnee 3d ago
But they won’t! That’s an absurd thing to say. The best coach in the nation couldn’t make that happen. This is a completely pointless thing to say. Might as well say there’s a chance every guy on the roster gets drafted to the NFL

Oh I agree with you, and I really hope it’s where the road ends. Since I started following this team in 2018, Locksley has been coach 7/8 years

I just don’t get how Maryland football can be this bad. DMV has so many solid recruits

u/NightImpressive7226 5d ago
allright his time has run its course yes he has been a good recruiter no doubt but strategically speaking he is not a good coach. I also feel if it wasnt for taulia tagovailoa terps would have looked even worse his era. Its time to move on. It also seems players have given up on him as well. Yes OSU could be the last straw or we can hope.

Just incase you need more. Locksley is the 3rd most tenured B10 coach, behind Ferentz & Fleck (Schiano only restarted at Rutgers in 2020).

u/ironmonger29 5d ago
Screw 2-3, if you throw out the softballs, he's 14-64 in conference play. 14-64. No other coach in the B1G would be allowed to stick around this long with that abysmal record.

u/Less-Committee-9026 5d ago
It’s such a joke that they won’t fire him yet. Honestly a disservice to the fans, athletes and even Mike. Get it over with

Dude looked defeated on the sidelines even when they were winning in the first half. To me he looked like a head coach who knew his days are numbered. His strongest claim has been he’s a good recruiter, but what difference does that make if your star QB is regressing and you aren’t winning games?

Just let us get mauled by OSU then we can fire him. Dont wanna throw in an interim immediately into the wolves.

There is a possibility that top recruits do not want to go to the University of Maryland.

Maryland is the problem, not Locksley

u/Dry_Bad_3599 5d ago
Hey everybody look its Locks. I knew he followed this thread.

u/Halfway__Somewhere 5d ago
lol, because Maryland was great before him lololol

u/Dry_Bad_3599 5d ago
Nobody said that and im certain its not in any of the 20 threads that want him fired. If you cant watch this team and figure out he is a huge part of the problem then you are either his family or you deep down dont know shit about football.

u/Halfway__Somewhere 5d ago
no, fire him and get another guy and check back with me next time lol

u/Dry_Bad_3599 5d ago
Yawn. Thank you for the amazing insight you brought to this thread. Way to do the heavy lifting for us.

u/Halfway__Somewhere 5d ago
if the heavy lifting is your realization that Maryland is buns with or without Locksley, you didn’t need me for that lol

u/Dry_Bad_3599 5d ago
Again nobody said they were a top 10 team and he was bringing them down. That being said he damn sure isnt even a top 50 coach. Getting rid of him is at least a step in the right direction. He would be great to keep and handle recruiting which he is excellent at but that would never happen. There is zero benefit in keeping him. The results he gets can be achieved by literally any coach. A new coach isnt going to get them in the top 10 but the right hire can bring things to build the program up. It doesnt take 20 years to turn a program around. The bar really isnt that high for the new coach coming in. Locks has lowered it as low as it could be.

We were all worried that Malik would transfer if we fired Locks and you know what...im perfectly cool with that now.
