It took seven weeks, but the first Power 4 pink slip was officially issued.
Maryland dismissed Mike Locksley following a 2-5 start (0-4 in B1G play), which wasn’t a massive surprise since he was a 2/1 favorite to be the first coach fired earlier this week.
BetOnline Sports & Casino has updated its “next coach fired” odds below.
