Blackney hired as UCF's Secondary Coach

In a press release today, UCF announced that Gary Blackney has been hired as the Knight's secondary coach.

Blackney was Maryland's defensive coordinator from 2001-2005. The Terrapins ranked in the top 30 in scoring defense four of those five seasons.

He also has previous head coaching experience at Bowling Green State University. His record there was 60-50-2. Blackney's team had 11 and 10 wins in his first two seasons at BGSU. Evidently, though, he couldn't coach players he recruited as well: in the next eight seasons, BGSU ended up with a winning record only twice.
