I want blowouts for the rest of the year so locksley gets fired

Last week didn't do it, I'm not sure what will at this point, seems like Jim Smith is happy to keep Locksley around.

Got your wish vs. the Huskers. Although the first half was a knife fight.

best case scenario is that they win out and Locks gets interviewed and accepts another job

No one’s hiring locksley. His best bet is to get an OC or QB coach job and stay a coordinator. He can’t head coach

Nobody is hiring Locksley as a head coach. If he sits out a few years, he may be able to get a coordinator position at a lower tier school at some point.

Yea well that’s my sentiment towards Terps football until it happens. Personally, I’ve watched my final game of the Locksley era. I’m completely disinterested.

It seems like all signs are pointing to after the OSU game because there is a bye week after that game. They were outcoached, outplayed, and embarrassed again by Nebraska yesterday. Assume they will be on the receiving end of a beatdown by OSU with a bye week following, I'm assuming that will finally get him canned. They just don't want to eat the costs, but I think there's more pressure than ever and they realize that they just need to make the change, regardless of the costs. His record and coaching has been so bad that they no longer have any excuses to be able to justify keeping him; especially when the noise has been louder than ever from fans.

It'll be 9pm where I live when the game starts. My prediction is I will be sleeping by the 2nd quarter

Prediction is we get another 50 spot dropped on us, but Locksley is still retained because Jim Smith has no idea what he's doing.

Surprisingly close prediction!

The decision is above Smith. Maryland administration is afraid to fire Locksley, and Locksley is too selfish to step down.   Tomlin did, so should Locksley.

I think the defense will get 1 turnover and Maryland will score 14. Downside, Nebraska will score 42 or some shit

u/Alternative-Law4626 14d ago

Well, not a bad call. Terms did better but yeah Nebraska did do 48, a little more than 42, but within (or some shit) margins.
