Maryland Fires Head Coach Mike Locksley Amid Coaching Search

Maryland football has parted ways with head coach Mike Locksley as of October 21, marking a significant change in the team's leadership. Locksley leaves with a record of 39 wins and 54 losses overall, including a troubling 17-52 in Big Ten play.

The Terrapins have struggled recently, winning only two Big Ten games since the beginning of the 2024 season and starting this year with a 2-5 record, including 0-4 in conference matches. In light of this, Maryland is now exploring potential candidates for the head coaching position.

Among the names being considered is Jason Dickert, the current head coach at Wake Forest, who has gained attention for his successful tenure there. He has a strong defensive background and has shown the ability to develop competitive teams. The challenge for Maryland will be to convince Dickert to leave his current position, where he has already achieved notable success.
