Brian Kelly emerges as candidate for Maryland football head coach position
Summary

Brian Kelly, former head coach at LSU, has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the head coaching role at Maryland. The position is available following the firing of Mike Locksley after the Terps' 12th consecutive Big Ten loss. Maryland appointed Aazaar Abdul-Rahim as interim head coach as they begin a national search for Locksley's replacement. Kelly, who has also been working as a commentator with CBS Sports since his dismissal from LSU, has a long history of success in college football, with a 320-108-2 record over 40 years. He is listed on the Maryland coaching hot board alongside UNLV’s Dan Mullen.
