PrintHonestly, who thought that Maryland would be 4-1 right now? Sure, Maryland's four wins were four games they should've won, but the fact that they're winning games they're supposed to be winning is a big step up from last year (see: Middle Tennessee State).
But the real question is: are you happy with 4-1 right now? Well, not just 4-1, I guess: are you happy with the entire state of the program right now?
I know basketball recruiting dominates the psyche right now, but it's starting to get to the point where Friedgen Loyalists will probably start popping up again. For the record, here's the poll results of the past few weeks:
So, at a record of 4-1 (1-0 ACC) and a recruiting class that's slowly moving along, I ask one simple question: are you satisfied?

I'm sorry to say this
but you all really need a new head coach.
"1 - 2 - Freddy's coming for you, 3 - 4 - Better lock your door, 5 - 6 - Grab your crucifix, 7 - 8 - Better stay up late, 9 - 10 - Never sleep again..."
Couldn't have expected anything better than 4-1 at this point
Those that say they did are lying. I voted yes, but ask me again after these next 2 roadies.
I'm ecstatic about 4-1
but still voted no. I view this question as “the state of the program.” Not to be a pessimist, but I still don’t see this team finishing any better than 7-5 (and that might be pushing it). There isn’t anything wrong with that record per se, but if that is what we are hoping for, I see a problem.
Let’s be honest, we should’ve lost to Navy—our defense stepped up in the redzone time and time again. I don’t dismiss that to random luck, but I don’t really give the coaches credit there—the players made plays.
The rest of the games—we won those where we had more talent, and lost the one where we did not. I agree with Ben, winning games we are supposed to win is an improvement over previous seasons. But that isn’t a sign of “good” coaching. It just means the coaches aren’t losing us games. And I don’t want to get to a point where “not sucking” = approval.
Fridge has to go he has reached his peak as a head coach i appreciate all he has done 4 md but we need a new perspective his way isnt attractive anymore and he cant dougie

I have no faith in this team to win a road game
I still think final record will be 6-6. I guess that’s an “improvement” over a 2-10 season and the future is bright with O’brien but if Fridge comes back next year it’ll be more of the same — mediocrity is his ceiling.
