Big Ten Coaches Spill the Tea on Maryland Football
Anonymous insiders reveal what they really think about the Terps this fall
As the 2025 college football season approaches, anonymous Big Ten coaches are giving their unfiltered thoughts on Maryland football—and it’s clear the Terps are on everyone’s radar.
One coach didn’t mince words: “Maryland is the wildcard in the East. They’ve got the speed, they’ve got the weapons, but can they finally win the big games?” That sentiment was echoed across multiple interviews, as coaches praised the Terps’ athleticism and recruiting gains, but questioned their consistency in big matchups.
Under head coach Mike Locksley, Maryland has steadily improved, and now, expectations are rising. Last season’s flashes of brilliance—like pushing top-ranked teams deep into the fourth quarter—left fans hopeful. But anonymous coaches are still skeptical.
“Locksley’s offense is dangerous, no doubt,” said another Big Ten assistant. “But until their O-line holds up and the defense stops breaking down in crunch time, they’re just hype.”
Several coaches noted that Maryland’s quarterback situation could be the key to unlocking their potential. If they find stability under center, Maryland could become a serious spoiler in the East. One rival coach even hinted that Maryland could knock off one of the Big Three—Michigan, Ohio State, or Penn State—if the cards fall right.
Despite the doubts, no one is overlooking the Terps. Their speed on the outside, young defensive talent, and explosive play style make them a scary matchup for anyone.
Bottom line? The Big Ten knows Maryland is coming. The only question is—can they finally break through?
Stay tuned. This fall might just be the year the Terps shock the world.
