Maryland football coach Mike Locksley agreed to a contract amendment that will increase his salary to an average of $6.1 million a year over the duration of his five-year deal, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
Locksley had been earning $4 million in salary after signing a new contract last spring.
The new contract starts at $5.5 million in salary and increases $300,000 each year. The deal runs through the 2027 season but will be extended by a year if the Terps win at least seven games this season.
The new terms come after Locksley led the Terps to an 8–5 record in 2022, their most victories since ’10. Entering his fifth season in College Park, Locksley, 53, is 21–28 at his hometown school. He grew up in Washington, D.C., and coached at the school as an assistant in two stints. He was an offensive coordinator at Alabama before his latest return to the Terps.
