Some of you have been speculating about how the coach-in-waiting plan developed.
Let me tell you what I know:
*Head coach Ralph Friedgen, athletic director Debbie Yow and coach-in-waiting James Franklin were all involved in the negotiations.
I can't look into Friedgen's heart and tell ...

I've been wondering who has the right to hire and fire assistant football coaches -- head coach Ralph Friedgen or athletic director Deborah Yow.
Let's go to the contract language.
Friedgen’s contract gives him a limited right to hire and fire assistants. He can't buck her wishes.
“The ...

Ralph Friedgen met with athletic director Debbie Yow for a second day today with no announcement on his job status.
There is no evidence that any of Friedgen's assistants have been fired either.
I believe this will be resolved soon -- tomorrow perhaps? -- since I can't imagine anybody ...

Talks continue today between coach Ralph Friedgen and athletic director Debbie Yow over his future.
We'll provide updates when we get them, but it may be awhile..
I wouldn't read anything into the length of the discussions. I think this was always intended to be a lengthy review. The ...

Here's more from Friedgen on what he told his players:
"I told them that I expected to be back and that if I'm not, that I wanted to tell them how much I love them and appreciate them."
"Because sometimes when things happen you don’t get that opportunity.
But that’s all I said to them. ...

Ralph Friedgen just said he expects to be coaching next season.
He said he told players that as well.

Redshirt sophomore Jamarr Robinson came in at quarterback following Maryland's third series. He completed his first four passes and is now 4-for-5 for 51 yards.
He led the Terps on their only touchdown drive.
This is senior quarterback Chris Turner's last game, and he is 5-for-8 for 55 ...

Senior Chris Turner, playing his last college game, gets the start at quarterback.
It's his first action since spraining his knee in the second quarter of the N.C. State loss on Nov. 7.
Turner was 3-for-4 passing and led the Terps on a 66-yard, seven-play drive on the first series, ...

*Logically, a win by the Terps today against Boston College shouldn't matter all that much in the larger scheme of Ralph Friedgen's career and his future. I mean, it's the difference between finishing 2-9 and 2-10 this season. But I can't shake the nagging feeling that it matters to Friedgen's ...

I'm going to let the piece speak for itself. http://bit.ly/61behA
But I will say this: all the drama is sure going to make Saturday's Boston College game more compelling.
How will Friedgen, fans and ...

This looked like a win. I think the key play was when freshman kicker-punter Nick Ferrara -- who has had a very good season -- couldn't punt the ball out of bounds with the Terps leading and about two minutes left.
Florida State's Greg Reid, the ACC's leading punt returner, took it back 48 ...

With Maryland trailing 14-13, receiver Adrian Cannon caught a swing pass, slipped a tackler and raced into the end zone for a 20-yard score on the opening possession of the fourth quarter. A two-point conversion pass failed, so Maryland led 19-14.
Offensive lineman R.J. Dill cupped his hand ...

Maryland had practiced during the week by piping in audio of Seminole fans’ “war chant.’
But the crowd of 66,042 – capacity is 82,300 – is not one of the school’s biggest or loudest. There are plenty of open bleacher seats in the end zones and corners, despite it being “Senior Day” and the ...

Maryland scored an offensive touchdown. I promise.
It was the first such touchdown for the Terps in almost eight quarters since starting quarterback Chris Turner sprained his knee in the second quarter against N.C. State two weeks ago and Jamarr Robinson replaced him.
It was set up by the ...

Running back Da'Rel Scott got the start for Maryland today against Florida State after missing five games (wrist).
Maryland has run Scott a handful of times with only moderate success. He has six carries for 16 yards.

How much does Gary Williams value Dino Gregory?
Well, enough that the Maryland coach was ready to anoint the power forward as a starter when I spoke with Williams before the season began.
Gregory gives the Terps an energetic big body on defense and on the boards. He also brings something ...

*The Terps won't always shoot well (43.1 percent against Fairfield). But they seem to consistently scrap. Landon Milbourne (eight rebounds) and Sean Mosley (seven rebounds) play much bigger than their actual size -- and they need to. Mosley found himself playing some power forward against the ...
