For new Maryland football coach Michael Locksley, homecoming is a dream come true

“As I told the team, our family name is Terrapins — Terps for short — when people say it, I want them to say it with some respect. I want our players to be very prideful about that family name and I want us to display and be the program we need to be to make the Terp name proud and successful.” (Kevin Richardson)

At his introductory news conference Thursday, Michael Locksley stood before a lectern inside Cole Field House and said he was not the same coach and man he once was. The coaching career that led him to Maryland’s top job has indeed been one of re-invention, from a low-level assistant coach to high-profile offensive coordinator, from troubles at New Mexico to new beginnings in College Park.
