Joe Krivak, Maryland's football coach from 1987-91, has died. He was 77. The school said he died Tuesday night.

Krivak was quarterbacks coach for Bobby Ross in the 1980s, working with Boomer Esiason, Frank Reich and Stan Gelbaugh. After Ross left for Georgia Tech after the 1986 season, Krivak was promoted to head coach.

Baltimore Sun: Former Terps football coach Joe Krivak dies at 77

Bobby Ross got much of the credit for Maryland's short reign as the most dominant team in the Atlantic Coast Conference in the mid 1980s, but Joe Krivak was often referred to as the guru and play-caller for a string of record-setting Terps quarterbacks.

Ross said Krivak didn't get the recognition he deserved as the play-caller for Maryland teams that won three straight ACC titles from 1983 through 1985
