Schmuck: New Maryland coach Michael Locksley gets a poignant endorsement — from Jordan McNair's father

“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)

The introduction of Michael Locksley as Maryland’s new head football coach was accompanied by much fanfare. The band played. The cheerleaders cheered. A large crowd of boosters, former players and various well-wishers applauded as he took the stage at the newly renovated Cole Field House.
