You always knew Mike Locksley would get another chance as a head coach.
Too much potential.
Locksley's first stop at New Mexico wasn't a fair fight. The Lobos were a mess when he got there. He probably should have said "Thanks, but no thanks," when the school called.
But if you want to be a head coach, sometimes you need to take a leap of faith. He didn't realize it was into a bottomless pit.
Locksley's second shot shouldn't really count. For half of a season at Maryland in 2015, after Randy Edsall was fired, Locksley served as the Terrapins interim head coach.
