Maryland head coach Mike Locksley acknowledged the growing questions surrounding his job status after his team suffered a lopsided 54-3 home loss to UCLA on Saturday.
Locksley said he recognizes the scrutiny that comes with a defeat of that magnitude but insisted he has no intention of stepping back from the challenge, telling reporters he "won't stop fighting or coaching" for his players.
The blowout loss adds to pressure that has been building around the program, with fans and observers increasingly vocal about the direction of the team under Locksley's leadership.
Coaches facing this kind of results-driven scrutiny often point to long-term program building rather than single results, and Locksley's comments suggested he intends to frame the setback as part of an ongoing rebuilding effort rather than a signal to change course.
Maryland will look to respond in its upcoming games as Locksley works to steady a program that suffered one of its most lopsided defeats of the season against UCLA.
