# 2022 Maryland Terrapins football team

The 2022 Maryland Terrapins football team represented the University of Maryland during the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Terrapins played their home games at SECU Stadium in College Park, Maryland, and competed in the Big Ten Conference in the East Division. The team was coached by fourth-year head coach Mike Locksley and finished in fourth place in the East Division. The Terrapins defeated NC State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl to achieve their first back-to-back bowl game wins since 2002-03.

## Offseason
### Coaching staff changes

Head coach Mike Locksley signed a five-year, $21 million contract extension on April 29.
Defensive coordinator Brian Stewart was internally demoted after the previous season's loss to Michigan and replaced by defensive line coach Brian Williams. Maryland reached an agreement with Kevin Steele to become the Terrapins' defensive coordinator, but the deal fell apart when Steele took the same job at Miami. Stewart, who was to remain on staff as an assistant under Steele, was then fired. On February 10, Williams was officially announced as the new defensive coordinator.
Special teams coordinator Ron Zook resigned and was replaced by his former analyst James Thomas Jr.
Wide receivers coach Zohn Burden departed for the same job at Duke and was replaced by Louisville wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer.
Tight ends coach Mike Miller was promoted to co-offensive coordinator.
