The 2022 Maryland Terrapins football team represents the University of Maryland during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Terrapins play their home games at SECU Stadium in College Park, Maryland, and compete as members of the Big Ten Conference. They are led by fourth-year head coach Mike Locksley.
Previous season
The Terrapins finished the 2021 season with a record of 7-6 (3-6 in the Big Ten), fifth place in the Big Ten's East Division, and as Pinstripe Bowl champions. They won their first four games, tying the team's best start since the 2016 season, but the Terrapins lost six of the next seven before winning their final two games. Maryland defeated rival West Virginia in the season opener, but fell to rival Penn State in November. The Terrapins finished 7–0 against teams with a losing record and 0–6 against teams with a winning record, with five of those losses coming against ranked teams.[1]
Offseason
Coaching staff changes
Head coach Mike Locksley signed a five-year, $21 million contract extension on April 29.[2]
Defensive coordinator Brian Stewart was internally demoted after the previous season's loss to Michigan and replaced by defensive line coach Brian Williams.[3] Maryland reached an agreement with Kevin Steele to become the Terrapins' defensive coordinator, but the deal fell apart when Steele took the same job at Miami.[4] Stewart, who was to remain on staff as an assistant under Steele, was then fired.[5] On February 10, Williams was officially announced as the new defensive coordinator.[6]
Special teams coordinator Ron Zook resigned and was replaced by his former analyst James Thomas Jr.[7]
Wide receivers coach Zohn Burden departed for the same job at Duke and was replaced by Louisville wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer.[8]
Tight ends coach Mike Miller was promoted to co-offensive coordinator.[9]
