Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The following schools are spending less our roughly the same as Maryland on their rosters: Iowa, Purdue, Northwestern, BYU, Utah, Minnesota, Houston, Wake Forest (👀), Pitt, Arizona, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, SMU. 010
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Maryland is firmly an average spender in football. They have no has average results the last few years. Don’t know why this is a complicated equation. 210
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Just came from the Local Maryland Media Members Rally. Barely a dozen people holding hands chanting “Better things aren’t possible”. 150
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 12/10/2026@patrickwyman.bsky.social need a follow up episode about how a guy was killed by a big cat in York…again. 000
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Mr. Sark, do you like the Muppets, low expectation and a great quality of life? 010
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Mr. Elko, do you like crab cakes, low expectations and being closer to your family? 0453
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026[thinking about Jake Dickert rubbing Testudo’s nose while coming out of the tunnel] It would be crazy for South Carolina to fire Beamer! He’s really got this thing rolling! 021
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026All I’m saying is that Fisch is from NJ and maybe wants to soft landing exit at a school with much lower expectations this offseason. 011
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Shame on me for using precious energy getting mad at Bill Simmons, but on the pod from last night he said the Giants have been drafting in the top 10 for a decade and don’t have any blue chip players out of it other than Nabers…on the day Abdul Carter and Arvell Reese won the game for them. 000
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026A Greek guy running amok and causing trouble in London? Welcome back Prince Phillip. 010
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026[thinking about Jake Dickert in a Maryland quarter zip] Go Cocks! Beat Kentucky! 000
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think Jim Smith is a good AD but this hire will be essentially answer that question in full. 021
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Again, not watching…but was DeJuan Williams the most important player in the sport or something? 210
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It’s potentially one of the last nice weekend days of the year, so I will not be watching the Maryland game and instead will be outside drinking next to my baby. 101
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is so frustrating. Jack Smith is probably under the impression that Clark dominated Maryland while at Iowa when in fact over the four games Clark played vs Maryland, the Terps out scored Iowa by 8 points. 1102

Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wines of Portugal Tasting Room. For a few Euros per pour, you sit in a big room and can go from tap to tap tasting wines from all over the country. 130
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026BTW, none of this matters because Maryland has (I think) a light years better AD this time around! 000
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think ISU hired Campbell before Maryland made a call. He was the first hire of the cycle IIRC. 200
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If I recall, Campbell got hired before Maryland hired Durkin. I totally agree on Malzahn instead of Edsall. 100
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I disagree on Durkin. He was a great recruiter at a time when that mattered and had the pedigree. It made total sense. He was just a lunatic and bad head coach. Guys like that work out all the time. 200
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Exactly. And Maryland is, in some ways, lucky he’s making this so obvious. Nightmare scenario was going 6-6 or 7-5. 040
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Unfortunately, the one time they did do that was The Evil One. 100
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If Maryland hires the D*rk*n of this cycle, that’s probably Bryant Haines? Would be thrilled! The Edsall of this cycle is harder. Closest is maybe Dan Mullen? I’m a no there. 100
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026That’s the point. MD has made a totally reasonable resume hires every time with people saying no one would want to touch the job. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t. Florida made essentially the same resume hire two times in a row. Last guy didn’t work, this guy looks like it will. 220
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This happens every time there’s an opening, going to to Fridge and Gary departing. Guess who the hires have been: Basketball: Big 12 COY, Big East COY, SEC COY Football: Guy coming off a BCS bowl at UConn, one of the top assistants in the sport, Alabama OC 110
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It mostly comes from Maryland “fans” too. Folks just want to be uniquely put upon. There’s nothing especially shitty about the program. They’ve just made some bad to middling hires. It happens. They are one good hire away from being a good program, as are like like 90% of non-blue blood programs. 110
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Really annoyed by all the “who would want to take the Maryland job?!” shit. Same thing as when the hoops just opened. It’s a Big Ten job and it’s not even really close to the bottom on spending. It’s a totally fine job. 220
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wisconsin beating Penn State is great for Maryland’s coaching search. 130
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Another good option for the soon to be Maryland opening: 120
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Guys who could join the list with a 10ish win season this year: Ryan Carty, Billy Napier, Tre Lamb, Zach Kittley. Honestly, Lance Taylor should also be on this version of the list. 010
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My current Maryland Hot Board (only guys who I think might take the job): Charles Huff Jason Eck Jake Dickert Lance Taylor Either IU coordinator Shannon Dawson 121
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just saying I like him! I’m generally not interested in guys coming down but there are exceptions. 100
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I like the idea of Napier more than most. The other former blue blood guy I’d be interested in is Riley if USC misses the playoffs and they fire him. 120
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My only point is that it doesn’t help anyone to have this breakup be messy. Mike can still be involved with a program he cares about and MD can benefit from his connections. It’s not as important as it once was, obviously, but it’s not nothing. I would like the next Malik Washington to be a Terp. 100
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hell, if he makes this easy I wouldn’t be surprised if they give him another job in the department. He could be the GM! He could be a special advisor to Smith! 031
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I really like Locksley and wanted this to work so badly. But this is horrible. There’s no excuse. My one wish is that hr doesn’t burn bridges on the way out. They gave him every opportunity and he will never have another big boy HC job again. Just make it easy and you’ll be welcomed back forever. 141
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This is where Alex and I are aligned. I’ve been working on my Master List of candidates and assuming Charles Huff isn’t an option, Dickert is #1. If Jim Smith is The Guy, there’s no reason why a Big Ten team shouldn’t be able to hire Wake’s football coach. 123
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Counterpoint: one of the original Big Time Trump Twitter Guys was a Maryland sports blog commenter who was annoying but pretty mild 021
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 20/09/2026But they aren’t going to win 8 games. That means they win every game left that isn’t USC/PSU/OSU. Does anyone believe that’s going to happen? 020
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If they win less than 8 games, I think for sure. At 8 I think he’s probably safe. 120
Andrew Emmer @andrewemmer.bsky.social · 20/09/2026In the real world, they won’t fire Locks this weekend. There’s no point and there’s still a lot of season left. They have the offense to win some games. But unless they beat one of Penn State, USC or Ohio State, this is over. And there’s literally no reason to believe that they will. 130
