\nMark Tuergeon is no longer the basketball coach at Maryland. After a 5-3 start through eight games to open the 2021 season, Turgeon and the team have made the \u201cmutual decision\u201d to go their separate ways. \u201cIn a mutual decision, Maryland Athletics announced that Mark Turgeon is stepping down as the head coach for the men\u2019s basketball program,\u201d the program announced Friday afternoon. I can\u2019t believe Maryland and Turgeon have split. I\u2019d love to know just how \u201cmutual\u201d this decision truly was. My early belief is that it might not be as mutually agreed on as they want us to believe. More than anything, this decision to get rid of Turgeon looks like another case of a fanbase and program being delusional. Since taking over the Terrapins, Turgeon has never won less than 17 games in a single season, and while last season wasn\u2019t great, they still made the tournament. During the 2019-2020 season, Maryland was 24-7. Now, he\u2019s out of a job. None of this makes sense. I\u2019ll be fascinated to see who Maryland lands as their next head coach. Something tells me they will regret this decision.<\/p>\n
