As Maryland football opens spring practice with revamped coaching staff, veterans and newcomers get to work

With so many new faces on the Maryland football coaching staff, Fa’Najae Gotay didn’t disagree with the notion that the coaches might have worn “Hello, my name is…” tags.

Annually, college football programs bid farewell to older players and welcome younger ones, and the Terps are no different. But as they opened spring practice Tuesday afternoon with their first of 15 scheduled sessions, coach Mike Locksley made several changes among his assistants, including at many key positions.

Gone are Scottie Montgomery, Jon Hoke and George Helow at the offensive, defensive and special teams coordinator roles, respectively. Co-offensive coordinator Joker Phillips also departed.
