In Jim Smith’s first public comments since Maryland football made a coaching change, he emphasized the school’s search for its next coach will focus on a modern leader and program builder.

Interim Maryland football head coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim said his team heard rumblings of a coaching change well before last week, but they are "excited to really move on to the next season." @TheStandardDC
AD Jim Smith: Maryland will be looking for a coach who “understands how to build a program, and build a program in today’s college environment, or have been part of building a program in today’s college environment.”
A look at Aazaar Abdul-Rahim making his rounds at Maryland football’s practice, the first one open to the media since the preseason @TheStandardDC

It’s a busy time to be returning to the Terps’ beat, but a massive thank you to @JYash and @RealBramW for the opportunity.
The 2026-27 Maryland men’s basketball team, now with retro uniforms @TheStandardDC
Aside from the obvious First Amendment issues here, I’m amazed at how anyone affiliated with the university thought this would go over well.
Kudos to the awesome UMD student reporters as always
For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

Maryland football and head coach Michael Locksley are parting ways, as first reported by @PeteThamel.
Recently promoted defensive coordinator Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will be the interim head coach for the rest of the season. @TheStandardDC

Sources: Maryland coach Mike Locksley has been dismissed. Maryland dropped to 2-5 on Saturday after a last-second loss to Rutgers. Locksley is 39-54 overall at Maryland, including his interim stint in 2015. Maryland is on a bye this week.
Maryland football has fired defensive coordinator Ted Monachino, per release.
Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will be the Terps’ DC the rest of the season, while inside linebackers coach Zac Spavital will become the co-DC.
Week 6 🏈: Tuscarora (2-3) hosts Frederick (1-4) in a battle between two local rivals looking to get their seasons back on track.
One last ride for @FrederickSports
FINAL: Frederick 22, Tuscarora 18
Cadets hit enough big plays and make some red zone stops to outlast the Titans and snap a 2-game skid
Frederick’s big-play prowess helped it power past Tuscarora football.
