COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland Football Head Coach Michael Locksley announced the hiring of Ted Monachino as Defensive Coordinator/Outside Linebackers Coach for the Terrapins on Tuesday morning.
Monachino is a veteran coach of 33 years, having coached at all levels of football, including 16 years in the NFL. During his time in the league, Monachino mentored some of the games most dynamic pass rushers, including Terrell Suggs, Khalil Mack, Elvis Dumervil and C.J. Mosely.
Monachino won a Super Bowl with the Ravens and also served as the Defensive Coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons.
Monachino arrives in College Park from the University of North Carolina where he served as a Defensive Analyst in 2023 before being elevated to Defensive Line Coach for the 2024 season.
Prior to his time in Chapel Hill, Monachino spent two seasons as the outside linebackers coach for the Atlanta Falcons. Before Atlanta, Monachino spent two seasons (2019-20) as a senior defensive assistant and outside linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears. In two years under Monachino, Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack recorded the sixth-most sacks (17.5) and tied for the second-most forced fumbles (eight) among linebackers in the NFL over that span.
From 2016-17, Monachino served as the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts after spending six seasons coaching linebackers (2012-15) and outside linebackers (2010-11) for the Baltimore Ravens.
Over his final two seasons in Baltimore, Monachino helped develop Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley into one of the most productive young players at the position. In 2014, Mosley became the first rookie in Ravens history to be named to the Pro Bowl. Monachino also coached Pro Bowler Elvis Dumervil to a franchise-record 17.0 sacks in 2014 as he and Terrell Suggs (12.0) combined for the most sacks of any duo in the NFL (29.0) that season. In 2013, Suggs (10.0) and Dumervil (9.5) totaled 19.5 sacks on the season and Suggs was selected to his sixth Pro Bowl.
