Maryland athletic director Jim Smith publicly committed in mid-November 2025 to retaining Mike Locksley as head coach for the 2026 season, citing a strong young nucleus and pledging significantly higher NIL and financial resources despite the Terps’ late-season skid and 11th straight Big Ten losing record. Locksley’s contract extends through 2027, with a roughly $13 million buyout that further discourages an abrupt change. Subsequent developments include February 2026 staff additions such as offensive coordinator Clint Trickett and defensive line coach Randy Starks, plus March spring-camp optimism centered on returning talent and continuity. These institutional signals of stability underpin the current trader consensus that Locksley will remain in place.
