Alabama has hired former Maryland coach Mike Locksley as a full-time offensive assistant, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban announced Monday.

A week later, the Terps added another. In doing so, coach DJ Durkin continued to make a mark in local recruiting, continuing the so-called "movement" to get the area's top talent to play in College Park.

The transition from former coach Randy Edsall to interim coach Mike Locksley to Durkin is Maryland's second coaching change in six years. The transition from Ralph Friedgen to Edsall in 2011 was fraught with conflict, with more than 20 players transferring in Edsall's first year.

Maryland men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon remained the highest-paid state employee in 2015, according to records released last week.

When he began his NFL draft journey in December, Quinton Jefferson knew there was more at stake for him than other prospects with what he was leaving behind and what lay before him.

For Caleb Rowe, Maryland's quarterback position is "definitely an open job." So he and Perry Hills have put in extra film sessions and extra meetings with offensive coordinator Walt Bell in order to get a handle on the Terps' new offense. Both fifth-year seniors are trying to put last season's quarterback struggles behind them and get a fresh start under coach DJ Durkin. But Hills, Rowe and redshirt freshman Gage Shaffer all have work to do to grasp Bell's offense before the season starts in

Coach DJ Durkin, who took over as Maryland football coach in December, has referred to the program as a ¿sleeping monster.¿

While Durkin has already started putting his stamp on the program, Maryland¿s on-field transition starts over the next few weeks in practice. So leading into practice, we¿ll preview each of the Terps¿ position groups, starting Wednesday with quarterbacks.

On the recruiting trail, DJ Durkin knows exactly what he and his staff are looking for. At his national signing day news conference, the Maryland coach laid out the four things he looked for in his class, which featured some local standouts, along with a distinct influx of Florida talent.

Among a group of four finalists that included the defending national champion (Alabama), the 2014 national champion (Florida State) and a school that recruits as well as either (Mississippi), the Maryland football team came in second for St. John's College (D.C.) star Terrell Hall's letter of intent Wednesday. Never had a runner-up finish seemed at once so insignificant and important.

Walt Bell got his first offensive coordinator job at Arkansas State at age 29. He'll be 32 when Maryland kicks off against Howard at Maryland Stadium on Sept. 3 in his first game as the Terps offensive coordinator. And soon enough, some who have coached him think he'll be leading his own program.

Maryland's recruiting Class of 2016 took a significant hit Monday.

A week after Jake Funk had wrapped up one of the most decorated careers in state high school history, the Damascus senior running back and Maryland commit was unwinding and relaxing. College still seemed like it was eight months away.

Former Maryland defensive line coach Chad Wilt, who was not retained by coach DJ Durkin, has accepted the same position at Army West Point, according to 247sports.com and SI.com.

Three-star cornerback Tyrone Hill of Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey became the second defensive back to decommit from Maryland in less than 24 hours Sunday afternoon.

Maryland football coach DJ Durkin is taking his time in his search for the Terps next offensive coordinator.

Former Maryland football coach Randy Edsall is using the time away from coaching to golf and to evaluate what's best for his future.

For South Carroll¿s Brian Plummer, Maryland¿s hiring of DJ Durkin as its coach was like a sigh of relief. The senior, who verbally committed to the Terps in April, had been watching what was happening in College Park closely after former coach Randy Edsall was fired and offensive coordinator Mike Locksley took over in the interim role for the final six games of the season. He watched the rumor mill churn before Durkin was introduced last week.

Maryland ranked 35th nationally in assistant coach salaries, according to data released by USA Today on Wednesday. The Terps paid their assistants $2,783,060 in 2015, which also ranked seventh in the Big Ten Conference. Offensive coordinator-turned-interim coach Mike Locksley ranked No. 14 nationally with $891,940, which made him the highest-paid assistant in the conference, edging out new Maryland coach DJ Durkin and Tim Drevno, who made $880,000 as assistants at Michigan.

It would be difficult not to be charmed by new Maryland football coach DJ Durkin. The 37-year-old former Michigan defensive coordinator is young, energetic, well-spoken and — by some accounts — as competitive as the uber-intense Jim Harbaugh, who he was working for at Michigan when he got the call from Terps athletic director Kevin Anderson. So, he can strike the good first impression off the checklist of important coaching attributes he has brought to Maryland, after Thursday's
