Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, October 21, 2026 —

Michael Locksley is no longer the head coach of the University of Maryland football team, the university announced after the team suffered its fifth consecutive loss.

The announcement makes Locksley’s departure from the position official. The information provided does not specify when the decision took effect, who will lead the team next, or whether the university plans to name an interim coach.

Maryland’s five-game losing streak is the only team-performance detail included in the announcement summary. No opponent, score, or date for the latest loss was provided. The university’s stated reason for its decision, if any, was also not specified, so the timing alone does not establish why the change was made.

Further details about the coaching transition were not provided. The university’s announcement, as described, confirms that Locksley is no longer in the role but does not identify a successor or outline what comes next for the program.
