Ralph Friedgen is a former head football coach of the University of Maryland Terrapins, a post he held from the 2001 season until 2010. Friedgen originally came to College Park as a player after a standout high school career in Harrison, N.Y., where he played quarterback on his father's team. At Maryland, Friedgen was switched to offensive guard. After graduating from Maryland in 1970, Friedgen embarked on his coaching career, starting as a graduate assistant with the Terps. He followed that up with assistant coaching positions at The Citadel, William & Mary, Murray State and then back to Maryland from 1982-86. The Terps made four bowl games and won three consecutive ACC championships during this time. After a five-year stint as Georgia Tech's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach (which included a Yellow Jackets national title in 1990), Friedgen moved to the NFL with the San Diego Chargers. There he coached under Bobby Ross, who also had Friedgen on his staffs at Maryland, Georgia Tech and The Citadel. The NFL highlight for Friedgen was the Chargers' 1994 Super Bowl appearance. After the 1996 season, Friedgen returned to Georgia Tech for a four-year stint as offensive coordinator. Maryland fired head coach Ron Vanderlinden in 2000, and athletic director Debbie Yow tapped Friedgen for his first head coaching job ever. During his first year at the helm (2001), Maryland won its first ACC championship since 1985. For that accomplishment, Friedgen was named national coach of the year. Friedgen was replaced at Maryland by Randy Edsall.  « Show less

  11. Bill O'Brien's brief time with Terps helped him prepare for the challenge ahead

    It had come down to one seemingly makeable field goal, and on the Patriots' sideline offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien busied himself scripting plays for overtime. Reading and reacting to what a defense does is his strength, and instead of even casting his eyes toward the field he was talking to anyone who would listen, trying to catalog all the looks the Ravens' defense had shown the Patriots while mentally sifting through his playbook for ways to move the football.

  15. In Bear's Tracks: Ralph Friedgen follows father's footsteps

    With trembling hands, he reached for the phone and dialed the number. He was nervous, but his mind was clear. He was done with Maryland football. Finished. Three head coaches in three years had told him 300 different things, and none of them seemed able to give him a straight answer. He was going to put College Park in his rearview mirror and never look back. There were other schools that would take him, maybe even let him play quarterback again. He just needed an opportunity. Ralph Friedgen had only one thing left to do. It was time to break the news to The <span class=&quot;hilite">Bear</span>.

  17. Adrian Coxson talks about leaving Maryland, transferring to Stony Brook

    The only previous experience <a href=&quot;http://www.umterps.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/coxson_adrian00.html" target="_blank">Adrian Coxson</a> had with a Football Championship Subdivision team was when Maryland came away with a 28-3 win over Towson last fall. Before that, the Terps wide receiver had never given any FCS school much thought, and he certainly never expected to play at that level.&nbsp;
