Terapans abolished 4-8 and dropped everyone, but one of his Big Ten competitions in the fall. Maryland chose more players than winning in NFL drafts (six), as it lost its last five games, all 14 points or more. Lockesley blamed the part of the struggles for the changing financial scenario in college football, as Maryland had to decide how to compensate the players through indigo deals and eventually create some divisions.

“I am the owner of the fact that I have lost my locker room,” Lockley told ESPN. “And this is the coach lock, the locker room king, telling you this landscape, I had to choose the young players who were coming or rewarding the old players coming through the fire, winning three bowls, and I tried to do both with limited resources.

Lockesley, who is entering his seventh season in Maryland and overall as FBS coaches, ranked 10th position as “a valuable lesson” experience in how the players, relationships and expectations manage. Maryland won three consecutive bowl games under locksley from 2021 to 2023.
