> New Head Football Coach, Beginning His Dream Job, Introduces Himself


Maryland Athletics shares a peek into the first day for new football Head Coach Michael Locksley. Now the offensive coordinator at Alabama, he's returning to the Terps, where he spent 10 years, first overseeing running backs, then as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He tells the team, "I am not here to build a winning team. I am here to build a winning family."
