**Maryland athletic director Jim Smith publicly backed Mike Locksley for the 2026 season in November 2025, committing additional NIL resources, roster retention, and transfer-portal support despite back-to-back 4-8 records (1-8 in Big Ten play) in 2024 and 2025.** Locksley’s contract runs through 2027, making an immediate firing costly, and the program has emphasized stability around a young core that includes sophomore quarterback Malik Washington, who started all 12 games as a true freshman in 2025, plus improved depth along both lines. Fall camp reports from August 2026 highlight positive intensity, run-game development, and front-seven talent, with outside voices projecting potential for eight or more wins. These institutional commitments and roster investments reflect trader consensus that Locksley will lead the Terps into the 2026 campaign rather than being removed beforehand.
