But aren't Maryland's harlequin uniforms (like the Oregon clown suits) the entertainment?
Whaler, it's not IF they hire him. They already did. The AD is a friend of his. It's only odd because Locksley is not the kind of guy who Edsall would have sought out. He had sexual discrimination allegations filed against him, he punched an assistant coach, and a recruit was driving his car while intoxicated. Sounds like a complicated addition for Edsall. On the plus side he's a goodrecruiter and knows the area well. We'll see how it all fits.
Forced by who the administration? Locksley is straight poison - if they hire him things will only get worse.
I didn't realize it was a done deal. It fits like this: complete debacle.
It's only odd because he's not a fit with Edsall? He's the anti-Edsall. It's like firing Edsall without firing him.
I get that you used 'boy-scout' as a negative. The fact he ran one of the cleanest programs in the country might be his biggest strength.
This was a "gun to the head" hire. RE was under a lot of pressure. Anderson the AD was under a lot of pressure. The turtles want results, and they want them now. They are willing to gamble. It could work. It could fail. Look at Miami.Edsall wouldn't even recruit someone of Locksley's character as a player, but he is taking him on as a coach.
What lovely mess. Yeah, his days are numbered and they aren't high numbers.

4,000 readers? More like a few hundred maximum have read it over and over as new comments get added.
I personally view it not because I am particularly interested in Edsall changing coordinators but because I enjoy watching the train wreck debates that evolve from discussion of our former head coach.
Which is why Edsall was a terrible hire for them in the first place. Coming off of a 9-win season, they didn't want or need somebody who was going to tear everything apart before trying to rebuild it. They should have known that Edsall was going to do just that.
