Comments
Do you expect any further changes to the football coaching staff (read, recruiting
coordinator!). It seems that the Terps suffer with from lack of fundementals (tackling and catching the ball?!).It seems that in the past few years the program has taken several steps backward and now it
would appear that at best, the
program will be a middle of the pack program for the near and long term.

I was pleased to hear that Franklin is back, as well as, Shaun Hill's success with my Niners. I don't feel so bad about the bowl loss; O.S. seemed to be the better team and we put up a good fight.

Randy -- I wouldn't expect any other Terps coaches to be asked to leave. Stranger things have happened, but I'd be surprised.
