Locksley confident in job status amid Terps' skid
Mike Locksley is the head coach at the University of Maryland and maintains he deserves to keep his job despite recent Big Ten losses. Maryland began the season 4-0 but sits 4-5 entering Saturday's game at Illinois. The Terrapins are 17-45 in Big Ten games under Locksley and 37-46 overall; the program has won 18 consecutive nonleague games. Locksley is under contract through 2027 with a $13.4 million buyout if fired this year. Athletic director Jim Smith will determine Locksley's status at season's end; Smith became AD in May after serving as Atlanta Braves senior vice president of business strategy. Remaining regular-season opponents include No. 21 Michigan and Michigan State.
"I'm the head coach at the University of Maryland."

"The Terrapins are just 17-45 in Big Ten games under Locksley, who has won 18 consecutive nonleague games at the school. Locksley is 37-46 overall at Maryland and is under contract through the 2027 season. His buyout if fired this year would be $13.4 million."
