Maryland's game against Ohio State on Saturday could be the last of the Randy Edsall Era in College Park.
According to a report from InsideMDSports, Edsall is "unlikely to survive as Maryland's football coach" through the weekend, barring an unexpected change of heart by the administration. With Maryland having a bye next week, it would be the most opportune time for the Terps to make such a move if they plan on doing so during the season.
The report also states that, while the athletic department is certainly unhappy with the results on the field, another factor in the decision is that the players have "begun tuning him out."
A source told the site that Edsall, who actually received a three-year contract extension in June for the purposes of program stability, "doesn't have too many fans left in the locker room."
In his fifth season at Maryland, Edsall is now 22-33 in his tenure with the Terrapins after a 2-3 start to the 2015 campaign. That overall record includes a 10-23 mark in conference play (6-18 in the ACC, 4-5 in the Big Ten).
If Maryland fires Edsall, it's unknown who will serve as an interim head coach, but offensive coordinator Mike Locksley does have prior head coaching experience.

You are presupposing that he would go back. I'm not so sure that's the case. His career is pretty much in the crapper now, if he went back he'd not only have to win he'd have to win quickly or in 3 or so years he'd be knocking on doors trying to sell you insurance. And it's a lot tougher to win at Rutgers now that they're in the Big 10 than it was in the Big East.
