Maryland offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Walt Bell will depart for the same positions at Florida State, as first reported by Inside Maryland Sports.
Bell held those positions the past two seasons in College Park, Md. Bell was hired in December 2015, shortly after DJ Durkin was named the Terps' head coach. Bell's tenure was marked by inconsistent results stemming from injuries at quarterback.
The Terps began the 2017 season by scoring a combined 114 points against Texas Sept. 2 and Towson Sept. 9, which provided a window into the possibilities with Tyrrell Pigrome or Kasim Hill at quarterback. But Pigrome and Hill both tore ACLs early in the season, forcing Max Bortenschlager into duty against UCF Sept. 23. Bortenschlager got the lion's share of the snaps the rest of the way, completing 51.9 percent of his passes and averaging 5.6 yards per throw. Caleb Henderson and walk-on Ryan Brand also got playing time.
