Firing him on a Wednesday feels strange
Maryland has a bye this week, so that gives them a little more leeway, but it’s definitely strange timing, especially since the fanbase has been clamoring for the AD to say something/anything since Saturday.
The AD doesn’t have experience in collegiate athletics. He has a fundraising background at Ohio State, and then worked for Arthur Blank for for years spearheading construction of Mercedes-Benz stadium and acquiring the MLS team. He’s never been involved with the hiring or firing of a football coach.
That’s why Locksley was still employed mid-week. Most other ADs would have had the trigger ready leading into the Rutgers game. It took Maryland four days to get their ducks in a row.

That makes LSU kicking Kelly to the curb less than 24 hours after he had a halftime LEAD vs Texas A&M all the more impressive.

The fact he got as many years as he did being as awful as he's been is insane.
Even w/how bad he's been them doing this on a Wednesday makes me wonder if the last straw wasn't the losing but that he was told to make a staff change and refused.

Does the Maryland Football HC really deserve a coaching changes board being opened?

No. But the OP wanted to be the cool guy in class and start the thread.

They fired the DC a few days ago.

Hire Kelly!

This is my yearly reminder to Chicken that when you open the coaching board, you should just go ahead and do the Christmas lights at the same time. Get them both out the attic.
Though this firing seems a little earlier.

Maryland could do a lot worse than Kelly

Wha...... a little earlier??
He came into this season on the hot seat and just lost to a bad SUNJ team. Are you saying he should have coached out the season?

Yeah, but he would have to do more in order to get talent to Maryland. Kelly doesn't come across as a 'hardcore recruiter'.
If he is interested in the Maryland job I wonder how long he would 'practice' an Maryland accent in order to try and fit in.

No. I'm saying the first coach firing of the season seems to be a few weeks earlier this year. I don't give a shite at all who Maryland has or hasn't played.
