Ralph brought this program up from nothing to something…Give him to the end of his contract to prove himself. Honestly, 7 years is not enough to judge a coach on. Give him another couple seasons and see how he does. He could very possibly have a solid team developing for the next couple years. The lines may very well be the only work in progress. We could very well have a quarterback (Jamarr) and we definitely have the QBs and RBs as well as the LBs to be an ACC force for years to come. MD fans, be patient for two more years, and I think you will be surprised where Ralph has this team. It will be something special. Orange Bowl, here we come!

I can go either direction on the Fridge. I can see hanging in there with the Fridge for another season or two, but I can also see making a change, since the change will come sooner or later anyway. Perhaps it is time to accelerate the planned changes. if a change is needed, I hope the Terps stay with the plan and keep James Franklin as the HC. I don’t think you can blame the longish-term decline of the entire program on James Franklin.

Franklin is here, ready to go, and if Fridge goes, can hit the ground running with current recruits he is cultivating. He is a good recruiter, he would bring in new staff, and shore up weaknesses in the program.

I am a Fridge loyalist, and don’t want to just dump the program altogether. The Terps lost a lot of close games this year, playing kids. If there’s new leadership for a maturing squad, i can easily see Franklin beginning a new era of success.

If Terps fire Fridge tomorrow, and make Franklin head coach, they’ve fulfilled the million dollar guarantee. Then fire Franklin after he loses his first game.

I am sick and tired of hearing what was here before Fridge. Well want is here with Fridge? Fine he won 30 games in 3 years but than he won 30 games in 6 years. He should have been fired last year. Why can’t we demand more than 4-6 wins a season as Fridge as done in the last 6 seasons. But than Franklin is not the answer with his play calling this year. If Fridge stays than the DL and OL coaches MUST go. Especially DL, he is nothing more than a loud mouth that doesn’t get consistent play this year or the last 5 years. I have had 4 season tix for 10 years and the last 2 years it has been hard to even convince people to come for free with me. I have had enough and it is money not well spent as it will be if Frankin is here another 5 years. I go on record that Franklin will be a bigger loser. He is in way over his head.

Next season will be the perfect time to get a spread offense running. We have all the right parts to be successful. One of the young guns is bound to have a good enough arm to run it right, if Jamarr cannot. People will buy tickets, which is what really gets a program going.
