Mike Canales has joined Maryland’s staff as an analyst under head coach Mike Locksley.
Locksley enters his third season as the Terrapins’ head coach. He served as Maryland’s interim head coach in 2015.
Canales served as Tennessee’s quarterbacks coach in 2017.
After his lone season at Tennessee, Canales served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UTEP from 2018-20.
“Our stint was short, but it’s a special place for me,” Canales previously told Vols Wire of coaching at Tennessee in 2017. “The tradition and the history of that place, it was an honor to be a coach at Tennessee. It meant a lot to me and I’ll never forget that. I can always say I ran through the T and sat in with Peyton Manning.
“Even though it was tough times, I get that part, I understand the fan base and how upset they were and how disappointed they were. I understand their love for that place, but I went to work every day and gave it all I had. I gave my all for Tennessee and tried to be an ambassador for that great university.”
Canales shared news in February that he is cancer free.
“Thankful for Dr. Javier Arenas for giving us such good news,” Canales said in February. “Biopsy came back negative and cancer free. Appreciate all the prayers from family and friends. God is so great, he heard y’all.”
