Full Press Release
No word on the specific offensive position. He has coached all over on both sides of the ball. Could be anything from Co-OC to position coach. Might be contingent on further attrition. For example, I'd bet on him going to WRs if Napier departs. We're gaining a 10th on-field position this year too, so expect more announcements."We are excited to add Mike Locksley to our staff as an assistant coach on the offensive side of the football," Saban said. "He is an outstanding offensive mind who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as both a head coach and offensive coordinator. Mike is also one of the best recruiters in the nation and will be an excellent addition to our staff. His time as an analyst with us over the past season should also ensure a smooth transition and a full understanding of how our organization operates."
During his time as Maryland's offensive coordinator, the Terrapins produced balanced and effective results. The 2013 offense eclipsed 5,000 yards of total offense for only the fourth time in program history, while accounting for 3,231 yards passing (third most all-time). In Maryland's debut season in the Big Ten, the offense averaged the most points in the past four seasons.
