The Terrapins played in the Atlantic Division of the conference, and competed against all five divisional opponents, two Coastal Division opponents on a rotational basis, and one permanent cross-divisional rival: Virginia. The rotating Coastal Division opponents were Virginia Tech and Duke. In 2009, Maryland played its second game of the home-to-home series against California, this year in Berkeley. The Terrapins finished the season with a record of 2–10, and 1–7 in ACC play, and failed to qualify for a bowl game. It was the first ten-loss season in school history. Before the season Coaching changes Head coach-in-waiting On February 6, 2009, offensive coordinator James Franklin was officially named the head coach-in-waiting to succeed the 61-year-old Ralph Friedgen, who had three years remaining on his contract. ESPN described the move as an effort to ensure Franklin, considered a top recruiter who had had other coaching opportunities, remained with Maryland.Franklin to succeed Freidgen as coach, ESPN, February 6, 2009. Defensive coordinator Upon the conclusion of the 2008 regular season, defensive coordinator Chris Cosh announced his resignation. Cosh returned to Kansas State as defensive coordinator and assistant coach to the recently re-hired Bill Snyder, who had been head coach from 1996 to 2005. Cosh previously served under Snyder as linebackers coach from 2004 to 2005.Heather Dinich, Maryland Terrapins defensive coordinator Chris Cosh returning to Kansas State, ESPN, December 5, 2008.Player Bio: Chris Cosh https://web.archive.org/web/20081204034011/http://umterps.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cosh_chris00.html December 4, 2008 , University of Maryland, retrieved, December 5, 2008. Outside linebackers coach Al Seamonson assumed interim defensive coordinator duties for the last game of the 2008 season, the Humanitarian Bowl, and was considered in the running for the job full-time. Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen also contacted Navy defensive coordinator Buddy Green in order to gauge his interest for the position, but he declined in order to remain at Annapolis. South Carolina secondary coach was also considered, but declined in order to take a job at the same position at LSU with a $300,000 salary.Haney, Travis.

Retrieved January 14, 2009. On January 9, 2009, it was announced that Massachusetts head coach Don Brown had been hired as the new defensive coordinator. Brown had served as head coach for UMass from 2004 to 2008, posting the best five-year record in school history, 43–19. His teams were ranked amongst the top-20 defenses in the nation three times: third in 2005, 20th in 2006, and 14th in 2007. The UMass scoring defense was ranked first in 2005 and fifth in 2006. Brown also has prior experience as a head coach at Northeastern and Plymouth State and 11 years as a defensive coordinator.Barker, Jeff (January 9, 2009) Maryland hires UMass' Brown as defensive coordinatorAugust 2026 medicmedic, The Baltimore Sun.

He played against Navy and Georgia Southern, so he's faced a lot of the different styles we see, but he has a little different approach to it." Other coaching positions For 2009, new defensive coordinator Don Brown will also oversee the cornerbacks, a role held in the previous season by secondary coach Kevin Lempa. Lempa will now coach only the safeties. Former inside linebackers coach Al Seamonson expanded his role to take over the entire linebacker corps. Friedgen expressed a strong desire to retain Seamonson, who lost out on the race for the defensive coordinator job. Seamonson, as interim defensive coordinator, helped coach Maryland to a 42–35 victory in the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl. Maryland also lost special teams and tight ends coach, Danny Pearman, to Clemson at the end of the 2008 season. Shortly after being selected as Tommy Bowden's permanent replacement, head coach Dabo Swinney hired Clemson alum Pearman. Pearman played at Clemson as a tight end (1984–1987) and coached special teams and offensive and defensive tackles while at Alabama (1990–1997).Player Bio: Danny Pearman https://web.archive.org/web/20090104183405/http://umterps.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/pearman_danny00.html January 4, 2009 , University of Maryland, retrieved December 3, 2008.Heather Dinich, Swinney hires Maryland assistant, Koennig moving on https://web.archive.org/web/20081206045437/http://myespn.go.com/blogs/acc/0-3-288/Swinney-hires-Maryland-assistant--Koenning-moving-on.html December 6, 2008 , ESPN, December 3, 2008.

The defensive and offensive lines suffered significant attrition, but the Terrapins are considered deep at the skill positions. Senior quarterback Chris Turner was called a "big-game performer [with] a chance to leave an imprint on the school record books." Maryland returned its three top running backs from 2008: Da'Rel Scott, Davin Meggett, and Morgan Green. Despite the loss of Heyward-Bey, the Terrapins retained a great deal of athleticism at the wide receiver position with Torrey Smith, and Ronnie Tyler replaced Danny Oquendo as a reliable third-down option. In total, Maryland entered the season with ten potential starters at wide receiver.https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/20/AR2009082001726.html August 31, 2009 The Washington Post Eric Prisbell A Multi-Receiver Set August 21, 2009 Offense: Phil Costa (C), most experienced returning lineman Da'Rel Scott (RB), returning leader in rushing yards (959) Torrey Smith (WR), returning leader in receiving yards (303) Chris Turner (QB), returning leader in passing yards (2,318) Defense: Jamari McCollough (DB), returning leader in interceptions (4) Alex Wujciak (ILB), second-leading ACC tackler in 2008 (133) Special teams: Travis Baltz (P) Torrey Smith (WR/RS), ACC record for kick return yards (1,089) thumb|left|Wide receiver Quintin McCree during the game against Boston College.
