Maryland football’s new coaching staff is recruiting at a level previously unseen by the program, and two of the main catalysts behind the recent surge will be sticking around for the near future.
Chris Beatty and Azaar Abdul-Rahim, both of whom joined DJ Durkin’s staff after the 2015 season, are officially under contract through February 2019, InsideMdSports reported over the weekend. The coaches have also received raises, with Beatty’s annual salary climbing from $320,000 to $400,000 and Abdul-Rahim’s from $170,000 to $250,000. Both contracts also include bonuses for things like bowl appearances.
This surely wasn’t a hard choice for Maryland.
