Looks like the Big Ten will have ol' Randy Edsall to quick around for a bit longer. The Terrapins frontman — career record 20-30 — re-upped with Maryland today.
From Alex Kirshner of TestudoTImes.com:
Randy Edsall and Maryland have agreed to a three-year contract extension that could keep Edsall as the football program's head coach through the 2019 season, the school announced Tuesday. The extension includes a buyout (details here).
Maryland signed Edsall to a five-year contract in 2011, which was set to expire after the 2016 season. After going 70-63 across 11 seasons as Connecticut's head coach, Edsall has won 20 of his first 50 games at Maryland. In each of the last two years, though, Edsall has led Maryland to finishes above .500.
Improvement has come slowly, but it's clearly been enough to convince athletic director Kevin Anderson to prevent Edsall from coaching next year as something close to a lame duck.
Keep shooting for the stars, Terps.
