In football coaching search, Terps seek a personality. Showmanship is a plus. - Baltimore Sun
In the early stages of coach hunting, Maryland is not only searching for football acumen, but also someone with an outgoing personality, similar to former coach-in-waiting turn Penn State headman, James Franklin. There were some additional interesting tidbits from the article as well:
Former head coach Randy Edsall apparently received coaching on how to improve his communications with media and fans.
Barry Gossett, one of the school's top athletic donors (think Gossett Team House), told the Baltimore Sun that they probably won't make a hire until after the season. "The person we might be looking for is probably not looking for a job," said Barry Gossett, a regent and top donor. "I wouldn't think we'd have any viable candidates to talk with until after the season."
