Saw that.

His initial 5 year contract was due to expire in 2016.  He is 20-30 at UMd.  The thing is, leaving a coach as a lame duck going into the final two years of a contract can affect recruiting.  In this case, maybe it did.

For a 5 year contract, most ADs make the call by the end of the third year.  It is rare to wait longer; you either get an extension or the chopping block.

Which makes the coming year an important one for HC SS.

One thing I will note about Edsall's contract.  It includes [URL='http://www.testudotimes.com/2015/6/30/8870727/randy-edsall-extension-notably-includes-500k-buyout']a buyout amendment.  [/URL] They can let him go for $500K between 1/16/2017 and 1/15/2018 or fire him after that with no cost to the university.  So this was hardly a strong endorsement for Randy.  UMd AD Kevin Anderson has hedged his bet well here.

Would not be surprised if sometime next year, Kevin Coyle does something very similar.
