23 Oct
Summary
- Biff Poggi, former Michigan interim coach, wants Maryland job.
- Mike Locksley was fired after five-game losing streak.
- Poggi previously led high school powerhouses and coached Charlotte.
Former Michigan interim coach Biff Poggi has publicly declared his interest in the Maryland football head coaching position. Poggi, a Maryland native, stated his desire to lead the Terrapins' program.
Maryland recently parted ways with Mike Locksley after a disappointing five-game losing streak concluded the season. Locksley's tenure included a 39-54 overall record and a 17-52 mark in Big Ten play.
Poggi, 66, has a notable background, having transformed Maryland high schools Gilman and St. Frances Academy into dominant forces. He also had a two-year stint as head coach at Charlotte, where he accumulated a 6-16 record.
Poggi also served on Michigan's coaching staff, taking over as interim coach for two games and achieving a 2-1 record, including a Citrus Bowl appearance. He currently works as an analyst for the Big Ten Network and emphasized that winning at Maryland is achievable, drawing parallels to Indiana's success.
