Aazaar Abdul-Rahim built a football program on sand and dirt.
He helped an academically ineligible player graduate college. Another said, “He raised a lot of us.”
Now, he has five games to prove himself at Maryland. Can he earn the permanent role?

ESPN’s @ReceDavis on Maryland’s coaching search:
“Everybody wants the Maryland job because everyone thinks they can win there because of the proximity to talent.”

Morgan Freeman was not wrong when he said, "Become a man who can face a breakup. lose a job. deal with debt and still say, ‘God is with me. I’ll figure it out."

There are some parents that will drive six hours for a tournament but won’t drive ten minutes to a parent-teacher conference.
Let that one sit for a minute.

Ten months ago, Malik Washington publicly pledged his future to Maryland.
With Mike Locksley gone, the quarterback isn’t making that promise again. Sidney Stewart acknowledged he must reevaluate his future, too.

When #Illini HC Bret Bielema was in high school, he thought he'd play college football at D3 Augustana. But his father, Arnie, encouraged him to chase the biggest opportunities possible.
Bielema came home after school and found a letter on his bed from his dad, who passed away this weekend.
It said, "What you conceive in your mind and believe in your heart you will achieve."
"I tattooed (the quote) on my calf when I was at the University of Iowa," said Bielema.
Arnie, who sold sporting goods, used his connections to help get Bret at Iowa football camps and be discovered.
Bielema would walk on at Iowa, become a team captain and play in the Rose Bowl. After his collegiate career, he started his coaching career at Iowa.
Bielema said, "I just think about where I am now, 56 years of age. The decision he helped me make when I was 18, without helping me make it, he let me kind of come to that decision, has affected my life forever."

On the cover of @BaltSunSports today:
Baltimore’s own Jesse Legree, the Oregon State freshman phenom.
His dad considered taking out a bank loan to get Jesse Legree a shot at college football. His grandmother remembers him saying, “Nobody wants me.”
Now the Baltimore native leads the FBS in receiving yards and TDs — and he’s staying at Oregon State.

Fun note about @PTI: Everyday, Tony Kornheiser preps for the show by taking written, long-hand notes in cursive on a yellow legal pad — one page for each A block story and 1/2 page for each B Block topic.
These should be on-display in the @smithsonian in DC. #PTI25

Brenda Frese and the Terps don’t rebuild, they reload.

He steered the program out of the darkness of the Jordan McNair tragedy, made Terps Football respectable for a short time, and was a great ambassador for MD. But it was time. Locksley out at Maryland after 8 years. Now comes the most important decision for UMD in a generation. 🐢

UCLA’s Bob Chesney on the roots of his leadership philosophy:
Growing up at a small Catholic high school, he learned how belief can help teams overcome more talented opponents.
“Never were we the better team, but we played better than a lot of teams.”
Now, he studies leadership styles to find the right message for each moment. Ahead of facing Wisconsin, that message was: Are you the hunter or the hunted?
