After eight seasons, the Mike Locksley era at Maryland is over. Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will be the Terps' interim coach when Maryland takes the field again Oct. 31 against Illinois.

The Mike Locksley era at Maryland will be remembered for his leadership after the death of Jordan McNair and three straight bowl victories.

It will also be noted for the Terps’ inability to win when it mattered most, which became too glaring to ignore.

Evgeni Malkin (1,416) surpassed Doug Gilmour (1,414) for 21st place on the NHL's career scoring list.

Gilmour remains the standard for sassy red scarves, however.

On Pharrel Payne, Buzz Williams says "The metamorposis of who he became of a person because of that setback" injury last season has made him even better as a person and a player.

Maryland coach Buzz Williams says freshman Baba Oladotun took 47,236 shots "in the first seven weeks" he was with the program. Yes, he cited that specific number.

"The calendar we are functioning from is archaic" in regards to the new rules in the sport, says Buzz Williams when I ask about the expanded preseason this year.

"I like the timing. I like the quality of the opponents."

"Soon, I anticipate you'll be able to play summer league"

Maryland men's basketball coach Buzz Williams, speaking at media day today, says "I think we've found ways to improve our development."

"It's hard for me to think through [comparing last year to this one]. But I do think that 100 years of experience on your staff is important."

Ahead of last season, Williams was more relaxed on the title front, saying, "I began to hire some former players, former GAs, former managers [who were] Millennial, Gen Z. The title became very important. And I was like, yeah, any title you want."

[George Gerbo @Gerbo3]

Maryland men's basketball coach Buzz Williams announces the changing of titles for some of his assistant coaches and staff ahead of this season.

“None of this is about a title for its own sake, but about improving and adapting together as an organization," he said in a statement

Quick hit with the great @RealChadRicardo at 6:05 tonight on @fox5dc on Maryland firing football coach Mike Locksley.

[George Gerbo @Gerbo3]

If he starts sounding like he's from Smith Island, that's when you'll really know he's interested in the Maryland job.

Both of Maryland's lead coordinators now with (tangential) WVU connections. OC Clint Trickett, of course, was the Mountaineers' QB from 2013-14

Zac Spavital, elevated to DC, was DC at Texas State (2019-22) under his brother, Jake, who was WVU QB coach (2011-12) and OC (2017-18)

Students standing on a public sidewalk at a public university. This athletic department never ceases to amaze. And @merrillcollege students - as we've seen lately - always know their rights and act with the utmost professionalism.

[Nolan Rogalski @NolanRogalski]

For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

In the Locksley era (2019-26), Maryland finishes 38-49 overall, 16-47 in the Big Ten. Only two of the 16 B1G wins were over teams that finished above .500; five were against Rutgers.

Terps never finished with a winning record in league play and are 2-20 in the B1G since 2024.
