Randy Edsall is Maryland's New Football Coach
It's too bad they didn't go with Mike Leach. I'm not sure Leach was the smarter hire, but he would have been a lot more fun.

Leach vs. Edsall
I think Maryland made a smart move here. Say what you want about Leach (good coach, bad coach, mentally handicapped individual) but Edsall has proven he is a phenomenal coach. TT was something of an established program and you could argue it was on par to our teams (always on the verge of being pretty good or pretty bad), but UCONN came out of nowhere. Where TT only played an offensive game, UConn plays all three phases of the game. I’m much more nervous about Maryland games going forward with RE as coach compared to ML, and that is knowing that Maryland always seems to have our number.
Edsall
is a good coach, and I think will provide more stability than Leach ultimately would have. I think if Maryland had hired Leach and he was successful, then there would be constant questions about him taking a “better” job.
I give the dude lots of credit for building a decent program so quickly after the move from I-AA, but he’s had a pretty forgiving environment. Just not sure he’s going to take Maryland up another level. I think his accomplishments at UConn and Leach’s accomplishments at Texas Tech are a push at best.
Glad he’s got a QB now, finally, though. His UConn teams were just brutal on the eyes. Boring as hell.
