Now, they turn to a veteran coach who had eight-straight winning seasons before leaving Seton Hall.
Kevin Willard was introduced as Maryland's next head coach.
He spoke 1-on-1 with WMAR-2's Shawn Stepner about why he chose Maryland, what fans can look forward to and what type of personality he has.
Here are some clips of that interview:
The 46-year-old has served as Seton Hall's head coach since 2010.
During his tenure there, the Pirates made five NCAA tournaments which included a 2020 Big East Regular Season Championship and 2016 Big East Tournament Championship.
Willard led Seton Hall to a winning record in each of his past eight seasons, while Maryland is coming off its first losing season in nearly 30 years.
