VOLS safeties coach Charles Kelly expected to be named Maryland defensive coordinator

Sources tell FootballScoop that Tennessee safeties coach / special teams coordinator Charles Kelly has been offered the Maryland defensive coordinator job. We are told Maryland expects Kelly to accept the position and a deal could be in place as early as this evening.
Kelly just wrapped up his first season on the Vols staff and prior to that he served as the defensive coordinator at Florida State for four seasons under Jimbo Fisher from 2014-17.
He stepped from special teams coordinator and linebackers coach into the defensive coordinator role for the Seminoles after capturing the 2013 national title after Jeremy Pruitt left the staff for the defensive coordinator job at Georgia. At Florida State, Kelly coached 12 eventual NFL Draft picks, including an impressive nine first-round selections.

Good move by him. I'm not sure about Pruitt, but Locksley is going to fail no doubt.

Agree. At least O had some interim experience to show he had gotten better. Locks is getting hired based on recruiting ties and he worked for saban for a few years.

He is, David Johnson was also pulled from the road over the weekend. He's been rumored to LSU and Auburn.
