WEDNESDAY’SGAMES JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST Maryland Athletic DirectorKevin Anderson said he wants a coach who will bring out the best in his players as athletes and students. Maryland to fire Friedgen, pursue Leach terrapins from D1


make a change. Friedgen was unwilling to retire and instead will be fired following Mary- land’s appearance in the Dec. 29 Military Bowl at RFK Stadium. His contract will be terminated effective Jan. 2, 2011, and hewill be paid a buyout of roughly $2 million. No state funds will be used to


pay out the contracts of Fried- gen and his assistants, Ander- son said. The funds for the buyouts will come entirely from “revenue generation, private fundraising and strategic busi- ness decisions,” according to a release issued by the school’s athletic department. Friedgen, who was not avail-


able to comment, went 74-50 in 10 years at his alma mater and won ACC coach of the year honors in his first and last seasons. He led the Terrapins to seven bowl appearances, includ- ing the Orange Bowl in 2001 after the team finished atop the conference standings. Only two football coaches in programhis- tory amassed more victories than Friedgen, who turned around a squad thatwent 2-10 in 2009. The Terrapins went 8-4 this


past season and finished in a three-way tie for third place in the ACC. However, attendance at Byrd Stadiumflagged despite the success, and perhaps as a result, Maryland fell to the eighth slot in the conference’s


pecking order. After he shared his decision with members of the team’s leadership council earlier Monday, Anderson said the players told himthey did not want to leave their postseason destiny in the hands of others in future seasons. “They told me that they want


to go to the Orange Bowl and to have teams go to the Orange Bowl and they don’t have to count on anybody else to make the decision for them,” Ander- son said in a news conference. “That’s the kind of person they want me to hire for their next football coach.” Though Leach was the only


name Anderson would specify as being on his list of possible successors, he did offer some of the qualities he will search for in the program’s next head coach. “I want somebody who can


have the kind of intellect to communicate and to bring the best out of our players, both as a football player, as a student and as a person,” Anderson said. “I believe that if we hire the right person that can do that, that we’ll be successful in all phases.” Leach, 49, went 84-43 in 10


seasons with the Red Raiders and operated a prolific, pass- happy offense. Texas Tech fired him after he refused to apolo- gize for allegedly ordering a player who had suffered a con- cussion to stand in a darkened garage near the team’s practice facility during an afternoon


workout. Leach later filed a lawsuit against the university, claiming wrongful termination. Regardless of who takes over


Maryland’s football program, his first few tasks will include holding together what had been considered a quality recruiting class and convincing players currently on the roster to stay put. One such player is redshirt


freshman quarterback Danny O’Brien, the ACC rookie of the year this fall. O’Brien’s mother, Janie Wright, said in a tele- phone interview that her son willwait until Friedgen’s succes- sor is hired before deciding whether to remain at Maryland or transfer to another school. “That would make the most


sense,” Wright said. “A rash decision can’t bemade.We wish [offensive coordinator James] Franklin had remained.Wewish things were the way we thought the agreement was, that Coach Friedgen had remained. Appar- ently, others had different ideas.” Anderson said that had


Franklin not left for Vanderbilt, Friedgen would have remained Maryland’s coach next season. On Nov. 18, Anderson released a statement guaranteeing Fried- gen would return for the final year of his contract, but he declined to give Friedgen the contract extension the coach desired. When it became clear last week that Franklin was leaving


ON FOOTBALL Fair or not, Friedgen’s firing reflects a bottom-line business on football from D1


coach of the year. Anderson told Friedgen last


monthhewouldbebackfor2011, the final year of his contract. At that moment, Friedgen might have overplayed his hand, all but publicly demanding a contract extension and telling recruits he expected to coach them for the majority of their college careers. If Anderson was sold on the


idea of an extension, he would have announced it right after the victory overN.C. State. It is clear now the only thing that kept Anderson from moving Friedgen out sooner was the $1 million albatross Yow left behind with the ludicrous “coach-in-waiting” deal she gave James Franklin almost two years ago. Friedgen isn’t being fired


because he can’t coach.He had a record of 74-50 in 10 years after taking over a moribund program at his alma mater. He went to seven bowl games. The anomaly of 2009 aside, he put together a solid program. But that wasn’t enough.


Friedgen’s being fired because he no longer excitesMaryland fans even when he’s winning. They sent that message loud and clear this past season, and there was no reason to believe that would change next fall. Anderson didn’t want to commit to Friedgen through 2014, and he recognized Friedgen was right when he said recruiting would be hampered by being a lame- duck coach. Once Franklin left for Vanderbilt, Anderson had to make his move, one way or the other. In a perfect world, Friedgen


would have been given a new contract. He’s a good coach who has been good toMaryland.He is an alumnus, someone who — like Gary Williams — didn’t see coaching at Maryland as a job, but as a calling. He deserved to go out with dignity, choosing his exit path. But that’s not how big- time athletics works. Sometimes winning isn’t


enough. You have to win more. And sell more. In Leach, Anderson sees an opportunity to do both. There is no doubt that


Leach will bring an exciting brand of football, and with a quarterback as talented as Danny O’Brien, Maryland could be an explosive offensive team next year. What’s more, Leach, 49, had a better record (84-43) in 10 seasons in the much tougher Big 12 than Friedgen did in the ACC, even though he never won a division title. Leach does have baggage. His


firing a year ago in the wake of the Adam James controversy led to charges, counter-charges and a still-ongoing lawsuit. Will Maryland fans care if Leach swaggers in and his teams run roughshod over the ACC? No. They’ll buy tickets and might even start to fill some of those ill-conceived luxury boxes at Byrd Stadium. Of course, Anderson had


better land Leach, who will be expensive. Chances are, he wouldn’t have jettisoned Friedgen if he wasn’t pretty certain he had a deal for a successor. All of that said, it is sad to see Friedgen go out this way.


Apparently, Friedgen spent most of the weekend listening to people try to convince him to show up for his own execution. Maryland had offered to put the best face possible on his departure, but this is a firing, pure and simple. All the hyperbole in the world can’t change that. Ralph Friedgen, Maryland


class of 1970, who came back to breathe life into his school’s football program,is being kicked to the curb. There’s no way to spin that and make it pretty. But big-time college sports


isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about the bottom line. And Anderson and the leadership at Maryland thinkLeach can put more fans in red into the stands and less red inkontheir books.That’s theone and only reason Friedgen is gone. At Maryland, like all its brethren, it’s the only reason that matters.

the program, Anderson deter- mined that hiring a quality offensive coordinator and likely a host of other new assistants would be futile, given that Fried- gen had one year remaining on a contract the athletic director was unwilling to extend. On Wednesday, Anderson


pressured Friedgen to resign or retire immediately so that the school could announce the move in a news conference Fri- day, according to a source close to Friedgen. According to the source, Anderson told Friedgen that Maryland President Wal- lace D. Loh “wants this done now.” Friedgen declined to retire, a


stance he maintained through- out the weekend. The source said that after a hostile conver- sation with Friedgen’s represen- tative, Anderson handed off dis- cussions to university legal counsel Susan Bayly, who at- tempted to entice Friedgen to step down with offers such as to affix his name on the Ring of Honor at Byrd Stadium. Around 10 a.m. Monday


morning, Bayly asked one final time if Friedgen had changed his mind. The answer: No. And so Maryland elected to fire its once-beloved football coach. At the news conference, Loh


said, “I admireMr. Anderson for making that principled deci- sion, even though that pained himand painedme.” yandas@washpost.com prisbelle@washpost.com

Millsap and Raja Bell added 19 apiece and Utah beat Cleveland, moving Coach Jerry Sloan into a tie with Pat Riley for the third-most wins in NBA history. Deron Williams had 17 points and


10assists as the Jazz improved to 11-1 against the Eastern Conference. Sloan, Utah’s coach since 1988,


has matched Riley with 1,210 victo- ries. Up next is LennyWilkens (1,332) and Don Nelson (1,335). During Sloan’s long run, which be-


gan before Jazz rookie Gordon Hay- ward was born, there have been 234 coaching changes across the league. Daniel Gibson scored a career-high


29 for the Cavaliers, who have lost 11 of 12.


Sloan is the only coach to win 1,000


games with one team, and is one of just three coaches — Riley and Phil Jackson arethe others—tohavemore than 15 consecutive winning seasons. Jazz F Mehmet Okur sprained his


right ankle during pregame warmups and had to sit out of the game.
