Kevin Lempa, a former collegiate defensive coordinator with NFL experience, has been hired as the defensive backs coach at the University of Maryland, head football coach Ralph Friedgen announced today.
Lempa spent the last four seasons as the secondary coach with Boston College, where he led one of the top units in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He replaces Tim Banks, who took over as defensive coordinator at Central Michigan earlier this month.
Former University of North Carolina assistant coach Andre Powell said he will be joining the Clemson University football staff.
Powell, 39, replaces running backs coach Burton Burns who left earlier this month for a job at the University of Alabama.
Quarterback Ben Mauk has opted to complete his undergraduate requirements at Wake Forest this spring and pursue a Master's degree at another school next fall. Mauk was the starting QB until he was injured at the start of the 2006 season.
Mauk has told the Wake Forest coaching staff that he plans to have a career in education as a teacher or coach and will attend a school that offers an advanced degree in education administration. Wake Forest does not offer that degree.
