Maryland football makes coaching change, fires DC Ted Monachino

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMaryland fired defensive coordinator Ted Monachino Sunday, a day after a thirty-seven to thirty Rutgers loss left the Terrapins two and five. Vera, you're up.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCoach Locksley says this change is necessary, which is a great sentence, because it doesn't say which change.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take: this is a program refreshing its defense by removing the defense.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. You walked around the word firing for ten seconds, Vera.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Banner says Monachino is owed just shy of two hundred thousand dollars. FootballScoop says Locksley's buyout is reportedly north of nine million.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMaryland fired the one it could afford.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. That's a receipt.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the athletic director hasn't spoken publicly about Locksley since the UCLA loss in September. That's called holding a boundary.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy final take: Locksley is zero and twenty against ranked Big Ten teams, so Maryland should fire the bye week next.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd Locksley should be closed on Sunday, the one day we know he announces things. Rex, can you fire the scoreboard?
