During his introduction as Maryland's new head football coach Dec. 6, Mike Locksley said Maryland has long been his "dream job" and articulated his commitment to putting the "health, welfare and safety" of players first.
The news conference was aired on the Big Ten Network.
Maryland's hire of Locksley brings the 48-year-old native of Washington, D.C., full circle. Locksley, played football at then-Towson State from 1988-1991, was the running backs coach at Maryland from 1997-2002 and was the recruiting coordinator for the Terps from 1998-2002. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Maryland from 2012-2015 and served as the interim head coach for the final six games of the 2015 season.
