Ralph Friedgen recently went emotional publicly while at the ballroom at the Renaissance Hotel on Wednesday. Apparently he did seem calm and composed up to the moment when the media started to surround him and throw one question after another at him. His Maryland team plays in the Military Bowl this coming Wednesday. For once the man wants to keep his absolute focus on that match and would like to talk about his own removal as the team’s coach later on.
As of now before the match it wouldn’t be right if the focus is on him and the controversy regarding his removal. It might as well affect the team’s performance.
But then one asked him as to how he spent his past week and how difficult was it to digest the news for him.
Ralph couldn’t control his emotions here and his face had suddenly become visibly grim. He spoke of how he has got genuine support from friends and family who have flooded him with texts and emails. None the less for now he wants to be a bit secluded and alone.
There will soon be an end to the Friedgen era as thus in College Park. This is even as Maryland looks for a new football coach. Ralph had an 8-4 record and a bowl berth this season. He was the ACC Coach of the Year. Add to this the fact that he has had a glorious 74-50 record with seven bowl appearances in 10 years. None the less, even all this wasn’t enough.
Maryland’s performance over the past few years has only got worse with time. This was also visible in the declining number of tickets sold over the past five years for a Maryland match.
