Congratulations are in order to Maryland Terrapins football head coach Ralph Friedgen to be voted the ACC coach of the year. What a turn around from last season when the Terps went 2-10 the worst record in the teams history. The Athletic Director at the time wanted to fire Fridge, however dues to the State of Maryland's budget problems they could not afford to part with 5 Million dollars they would have owed him. Now a year later the Terps finish 8-4 and managed to beat ranked NC State last Saturday, which was defiantly a upset. Now the Terps are looking at going to a more desirable bowl, there is a new Athletic Director at Maryland. Friedgen was told to fire his assistants from last season, however he kept them insisting they were the right coaches, well I'd say Fridges gamble worked out for him and now I'm sure a contract extension should be in the big man's future.
