Locksley Fired

[PSUForever]

Does Maryland have a Terry Smith like figure to keep that team together deep into a totally lost season?

Who knows but I can see us finding a way to lose to them and in the process making it a career highlight for the interim coach.

 

[PSUFTG]

I dont believe our guys can contact anyone unless they are in the portal.

LOL


They all have agents

 

[PSUFTG]

My thoughts....

• AFAIK, CMC and Locksley haven't crossed paths much professionally
• Regardless, maybe CMC would consider Locksley for some type of position to, at minimum, shore up east coast recruiting
• OTOH, I'd guess Locksley would be looking for, at minimum, an OC job
• CMC wouldn't be interested in that due to his loyalty to Mouser
• In the extremely unlikely event Locksley lands at PSU in any capacity, it'd be a strange turn of events if Locks helped get PSU to a place where Franklin couldn't, given the reported animosity between them

OMG

is this the draft of an Onion article?

 

[PSUFTG]

Same name different guy.
But there is a pretty good podcast with Our Andre Powell, Derren Perry and Keith Goganious

Former ballplayers are nearly always absolutely worthless to listen to.
Less than worthless, actually. Exhibit A: See Arrington, LaVar

your mis remembering the wrong guy. Abdul-Rahim played defensive back for Mesa Community College from 1995 through 1996, before transferring to San Diego State. He played for the Aztecs from 1997 through 1999. Following his college career, he competed for the San Diego Riptide.[1]

The WR that played at MD was Azizuddin Abdur-Ra'oof, who played for KC Chiefs. I think Azziuddin may have had a job in the AD dept at MD at one time, although not sure.

That was me that was misremembering the wrong Abdul/Abdur.
Ra'ouf was the WR I was remembering that was very good.
thanks for the correction.

 

[bbrown]

No.....Andre Powell played LB at PSU until 1992, and then got drafted into NFL. Played a couple of years. Not Abdul-Rahim.

No that was me that got the Abdul names mixed up.

sorry BBrown stepped up

 

[OUIrPSU]

Wait -- fired in the middle of the season in October due to lousy team performance? Who does that? Bet they don't wait until December to hire a new head coach though.

November?

 

[Midnighter]

LOL…’…and since I’m listed as a 4-star…’

 

[BobPSU92]

He's getting a nice parting gift. That's a lot of crabcakes.

I wish I could be paid like that for sucking.

 

[Psumatt85]

P

I guess that he didn't choose Maryland for his chosen major.

He is holding out for his "dream school" now............

 

[BCS PSU]

He is holding out for his "dream school" now............

You have to ask yourseelf if he is a four star with an apparent pompous attitude, why did he choose Maryland in the first place?

 

[DaytonRickster]

Rumors flying around Charles Huff right now. Lets hope that's not true. Great guy with huge potential at this level.

Yep. Huff @ UMD would be a problem for PSU getting a foothold in the DMV.

huff wont be a problem, he's an idiot looking for his next job, wont be satisfied until hes at PSU or Alabama.

 

[BobPSU92]

Someday, maryland athletic supporters will look back at the locksley era as terps football’s golden age.

 

[KingLando]

huff wont be a problem, he's an idiot looking for his next job, wont be satisfied until hes at PSU or Alabama.

Why is that a bad thing?

 

[Nittering Nabob]

on the phone to whom? Maryland staff should be trying for a job. I dont believe our guys can contact anyone unless they are in the portal.

Have you ever heard of back channels?

Charles is turning out to be pretty good.

Mike Locksley 'at peace' with Maryland firing, open to NFL, college OC jobs

Coach Mike Locksley says he's "at peace" with his firing by Maryland, telling ESPN that he's open to jobs in the NFL or offensive coordinator duties at a "championship" school.

[JVP_Yahweh]

I have no expectation that he'll end up at PSU under Campbell, but I wish that he would because he'd be a great recruiter at the very least. He was a really good o-coordinator under Saban at Bama, and that's probably his niche.

I have always had the impression that he is very shady as a recruiter but that may not matter much anymore with NIL

 

[rigi19041]

No thanks I don't want anything to do with him. Everyone was good under Saban.

Who has been good under campbell?

 

[bbrown]

I have always had the impression that he is very shady as a recruiter but that may not matter much anymore with NIL

You would be correct on both counts. He got into some trouble at MD when he was recruiting and thought he was doing some pretty
hinky stuff at Illinois. And you don't want to mention his name in Albuquerque.
And now it doesn't matter.

 

[bbrown]

Who has been good under campbell?

Player wise? Sowell?
But if you are asking about coaches under Campbell he's actually got a pretty good coaching tree for someone that young. But that wasn't really my point.

 

[Marshall2323]

Great, now they’ll have a new coach that motivates them to play at their best for when we have to play them.

On the other hand, they might be riddled with opt outs as key players will have already found new deals.

 

[DaytonRickster]

huff wont be a problem, he's an idiot looking for his next job, wont be satisfied until hes at PSU or Alabama.

He has already been to PSU & Alabama as RB coach.

Looks like sluggo is still mad that Huff left Marshall

Yes borrow Pat Kraft’s phone book.

 

[Rocco3]

I would like to see anyone coach up this current roster. Not making excuses just pointing out the obvious.

 

[bbrown]

That was my impression too.

Really? More please.

Geez:

Remember when the Germans bombed Pear Harbor.

 

[Rocco3]

(Per Pete Nakos)

Staff should be on the phone right away - guys like Elee (DE), Washington (QB), Williams (RB), Durr Jr. (WR) would all play here over guys we're currently rolling out there. There are a handful of guys in their '27 class I'd kick the tires on too - Sullivan (CB), McAfee (WR), Graham (PA kid and RB).

OK, serious question for those who might know, is there anyone on that team we would want should they decide to hit the portal? I'm sure some will so who might they be?

The staff assembled this roster. Where has the gm been hiding?

This team is losing to teams with less nil.


If you expected Franklin to beat osu and Oregon then shouldn't Campbell beat Wisconsin?

In one year we went from anyone can win with Franklin's roster to nobody can win with Campbell's roster.

www.espn.com

Yep, typical Locksley, not his fault. The reason he couldn’t keep good coordinators, especially on the offensive side of the ball is because he was the one who was doing all the play calling. Similar to someone else we know, they would put guard rails up for their coordinator and certain players, and thus limit their abilities.
Also, so self-absorbed that he can’t understand that he couldn’t get better coordinators, not because of money, but because they didn’t want to Coach for him.

But I am talking HC

 

[BobPSU92]

locksley got sh|tcanned mid-season. How long will it take maryland to hire his replacement? 50-ish days?
