Maryland prepares for uncertain future after somber season

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Matt Canada's job as Maryland interim football coach ended Saturday at soggy Penn State, where the Terrapins failed a fourth straight time to earn their sixth victory and bowl eligibility. The 2018 season, however, will be remembered instead for what the Terrapins endured off the field and how Canada guided them through the unsightly mess. After offensive lineman Jordan McNair collapsed during a practice in May and subsequently died of heatstroke, Maryland negotiated a tumultuous six months that included two independent investigations involving the football program, the departure of three athletic trainers and the firing of head coach DJ Durkin. Canada, hired as offensive coordinator in January, was made interim coach in August after Durkin was placed on investigative leave.
