What Maryland Terrapins athletic director Debbie Yow calls ’synergy’ with retained head football coach Ralph Friedgen, most observers would call savings. Not just of sparse public funds that pay his salary, but in her effort to save her own job.
It’s one thing to keep Friedgen around because his firing would have been a matter of [...]
Of course he stays. Financially and football-wise, there were very few places for Maryland to go other than Ralph Friedgen.
I will say that Friedgen would be wise to pilfer an assistant or two away from the University of Texas or the University of Florida. The Terrapins have to get a lot bigger on both [...]
The questions are still making their way through Internet news wires and the blogosphere, but Ralph Friedgen is still the head football coach of the Maryland Terrapins and rightfully so.
But it just occurred to me that Maryland has more reason for Friedgen to stay, independent of the $4 million dollars the State of Maryland would [...]
I wrote yesterday that Ralph Friedgen should remain the coach of the Maryland Terrapins football team because he’s brought more recruiting and positive coverage since the days of Bobby Ross. And while most would say his time as a game planner and motivator have worn thin, the invoice for his dismissal says otherwise.
A buyout of [...]
There are quite a few parallels to draw between Notre Dame head football coach Charlie Weis and Maryland Terrapins coach Ralph Friedgen. Minimized girth aside, they are both renowned offensive game planners and straight-from-the-hip shooters.
And both are painstakingly tasked with keeping less-than-respected football programs nationally relevant.
But what separates them aside from conference affiliation and media [...]
The biggest problem with Maryland Terrapins football this year? No stars were available to make plays for them over the course of the season.
Da’Rel Scott’s broken forearm, Chris Turner’s bad knee, Ralph Friedgen’s mind; all of them have contributed to the malaise hanging over Maryland football. And for a program that has been used to [...]
Courtesy of the Testudo Times, let us question the resilience of some Maryland football players.
Friedgen has made it clear that he still wants to win games this season. Some of his players came to him the other day, relaying the news that some of their teammates had been saying they have nothing left to play [...]
Seems like we wind up asking ourselves this same question every year for football and basketball. In the early parts of the season, Maryland has so much trouble putting talent and instruction together. And by the time they are able to realize their potential, by the time the last gasp of hope has been choked [...]
@jamisonhensley As a Univ. of Md. grad, it’s embarrassing to lose to Mid Tenn once. To do it twice is just sad. Jeer The Turtle.
There’s a sad truth that is football at the University of Maryland. A truth being realized by fans, alumni and college football experts alike that doesn’t bode well for the future [...]
Let’s just tell the truth; the University of Maryland and athletes associated with the University of Maryland have no business on the West Coast.
