Randy Edsall will coach Maryland against No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, the school announced Thursday as rumors swirled about his job status going forward.
The embattled Edsall is likely to be fired after Saturday's game against the Buckeyes as the Terps enter a bye week, according to a report by InsideMDSports.com.
Maryland, in a statement provided to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, said: "Randy Edsall is our head football coach and he'll be on the sidelines Saturday against Ohio State."
Edsall, 57, is 22-33 during his tenure with the Terrapins after a 2-3 start this season. He is 10-23 in conference play, posting a 6-18 mark in the ACC and going 4-5 since the Maryland moved to the Big Ten. The Terps were blanked 28-0 by Michigan on Saturday.
Currently in the fifth year of his original six-year, $10 million deal, Edsall received a three-year extension in July, but just $500,000 of the $7.5 million extension is guaranteed.
Not only is the athletic department unhappy with the results on the field, where the Terps have been outscored by an average of 40-11 in their losses, but, according to the report, the Terps players have also started "tuning him out."
A candidate to replace Edsall is the program's offensive coordinator, Mike Locksley, who has prior head-coaching experience.
