How Kevin Anderson will search for Randy Edsall's replacement for Maryland football

Kevin Anderson readies to take a second crack at hiring Maryland's head football coach.

Randy Edsall was Kevin Anderson's first and biggest hire upon taking Maryland's athletic directorship in 2010. It's not easy to admit mistakes, but that's what Anderson did by dismissing Edsall on Sunday after four-and-a-half sometimes promising but usually mediocre or bad seasons. Anderson's challenge going forward is to get it right on his second football hiring go-around at Maryland. At a press conference Sunday, Anderson said he'd learned from his past.

"As we grow in whatever endeavor we're involved in, I think that you learn certain things, and you know what to ask and what not to ask," Anderson said.
