   Chip DarnellMaryland 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.

   Vera BullockCoach Locksley says this change is necessary, which is a great sentence, because it doesn't say which change.

   Vera BullockMy take: this is a program refreshing its defense by removing the defense.

   Chip DarnellNOT. You walked around the word firing for ten seconds, Vera.

   Chip DarnellHOT. That's a receipt.

   Vera BullockAnd the athletic director hasn't spoken publicly about Locksley since the UCLA loss in September. That's called holding a boundary.
