Former Nittany Lion wrestler Kerry McCoy announces he’s stepping down as Maryland’s coach

After 11 seasons as head coach of Maryland wrestling, former Penn State standout wrestler and assistant coach Kerry McCoy announced that he’s stepping down from his post after the NCAA tournament concludes on March 23.

Saddled by a number of injuries — including those which caused 2018 qualifiers Youssif Hemida and Ryan Diehl to miss several matches — the Terrapins had a dismal season. They finished with an overall record of 2-12 and were 0-9 in the Big Ten, including shutouts to Iowa and Minnesota. This year marks their third consecutive win-less Big Ten season. They finished 14th last weekend at the Big Ten Championships, and qualified just Hemida for NCAAs.
