Maryland Buys Out, Fires Ralph Friedgen In The Name Of A "Strategic Business Decision"
Maryland AD Kevin Anderson made it official on Monday, announcing that the school will buy out the final year of Ralph Friedgen's contract for about $2 million. The school attempted to negotiate Friedgen's "resignation," but he refused. As a result, the school will be forced to fire him and pay him...
Maryland Press Conference Open Thread
Since there is a lot of discussion going on and since it's occurring on multiple stories, here is a place we can all discuss the Press Conference, slated to start at 3:00. You can watch it here. To get the conversation going (and entertain everyone until 3:00), here is the first I've seen directly...
Boston College Extends Frank Spaziani's Contract Two Years, Now Through 2015 Season
While our Atlantic Division rivals flirt with the captain and Miami went with an energetic, former BC staffer as their next head coach, BC's AD made it clear that the school has their man -- extending Frank Spaziani's contract through the 2015 season. "Frank Spaziani has done a terrific job in his...
Should Frank Beamer Bring Ralph Friedgen to Virginia Tech?
From the Baltimore Sun: "This shouldn't be about who the next guy is. This should be about what they're doing to Ralph," (Frank) Beamer said in a phone interview Sunday. "When you've got a guy who's a loyal alum, who's a tremendous football coach and who is responsible for bringing Maryland...
Why Maryland Needed To Move On From Ralph Friedgen
First, I want to preface this by saying this discussion seems to have at least partially divided Terrapin Nation. Regardless of where you come down in this debate, please remember to keep it civil. I started off my freshman year at Maryland during Ralph's first year. I still have my "Fridge Fever -...

From OrangeBloods.com: Mike Leach is going to be the next head coach at Maryland, a key Big 12 source told Orangebloods.com. Why Chip Brown, OB and a key "Big 12" source are all over this story,...
3 Til Kickoff: Ralph Friedgen's Last Stand
This isn't the first time I used the phrase "Friedgen's Last Stand." It happened to be wrong last time. For the sake of Maryland and Ralph Friedgen himself, I hope I'm wrong again. Somehow, I doubt it. We all know the narrative. Alumnus returns to his alma mater, leads them to national prominence...
It's Official: Friedgen and Staff Return to Maryland - First Thoughts
Links abound if you want to find one. You probably knew that my preference was to clean house, but that didn't happen. I do think that the worst thing that could've happened was Friedgen staying and Franklin leaving, but both remain (for now). This is something in between, something I didn't even...
What Al Groh's Departure Means for Maryland
Yeah, Al Groh's gone. After several years of it almost happening, Craig Littlepage finally pulled the trigger and ousted Groh from his seat as UVA's HC. And, perhaps unknowingly, it gave Debbie Yow precedent for buying out Ralph Friedgen. The similarities are difficult to ignore. Groh, like...
Ralph Friedgen Defiant, Believes He's Returning
He very well may be and I wouldn't expect anything less from the guy, but at least he was more assured of himself than Al Groh. From the press conference: "I told them I expected to be back but if I'm not I wanted to tell them how much I loved them and appreciated their effort this whole year,"...
